[WIP] Update to Babel 7

[biilmann]

This updates to Babel 7 and webpack 4

[leonardodino]

based on this pool maybe we must update to @babe/core and other scoped packages?

it's seems to be the way forward on Babel 7. I even have to install it as a peer dependency, right now.

after yarn add @babel/core problem goes away.

Yes, you need to use the scoped packages.

Also, you can pass on individually including the following:

• transform-class-properties
• transform-object-assign
• transform-object-rest-spread

And instead go with

• @babel/preset-stage-3

Which includes class properties and rest-spread. Object-assign is included in preset-env.

Although personally I would go with stage-0, which includes all of the different proposal stages, which covers a wide range of use-cases. Just my two cents.

[leonardodino]

I would advise against using an experimental stage, especially for this kind of stuff. better to have resilient, and documented, standards, users can bypass it via .babelrc anyways.

[Saeris]

Well if you want to do things that way, you will have to include the following deps:

@babel/plugin-proposal-object-rest-spread
@babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties
@babel/plugin-transform-object-assign
