I am trying to improve the support for my application which is written in ES6 via @babel/polyfill
and the browserlist
support. I've followed all the instructions over on https://babeljs.io/docs/en/babel-polyfill but I think I am missing something.
My browserlist
support is defined via my package.json. I am validating whether the install has worked by checking for Array.from
(which is used throughout the code) polyfill.
Any ideas why I can't see the polyfills in the compiled code? I use to declare the polyfill in the entrypoint, but the babel docs now says this isn't needed.
If useBuiltIns: 'usage' is specified in .babelrc then do not include @babel/polyfill in either webpack.config.js entry array nor source. Note, @babel/polyfill still needs to be installed.

{
"presets": [
[
"@babel/preset-env", {
"useBuiltIns": "usage"

My webpack file looks like this:
{
test: /.js$/,
use: {

options: {
presets: ['@babel/preset-env']
