Vue 3 CLI - How to add babel polyfill for Object.entries

Question

I have a dependency (vue2-google-maps) which is causing issues with my Vue app in older browsers, throwing an error with Object.entries.

Reading the Vue CLI Docs on polyfills, I see it mention trying to load the polyfill in babel.config.js.

My babel.config.js:

module.exports = {
  presets: [
    ['@vue/app', {
      polyfills: [
        'es6.object'
      ]
    }]
  ]
}

Throws an error:

Module build failed (from ./node_modules/babel-loader/lib/index.js):
TypeError: [BABEL] /PROJECT_DIR/src/main.js: Cannot read property 'android' of undefined (While processing: "/PROJECT_DIR/node_modules/@vue/babel-preset-app/index.js")

What am I doing wrong? I created the project with Vue CLI 3.0.3

You need to change es6.object to es7.object.entries to make Object.entries work on older browsers.

So your /babel.config.js should look like the following:

module.exports = {
  presets: [
    [
      "@vue/app",
      {
        polyfills: ["es7.object.entries"]
      }
    ]
  ]
};

I have found the polyfills name here: built-in-features.js#L153
