First, check if esbuild supports the transform you need (it's faster).
If not, you can add the Babel plugin you need with this plugin.

Use

esbuild.config.js

import esbuild from 'esbuild';
import babel from 'esbuild-plugin-babel';

esbuild
    .build({
        entryPoints: ['index.js'],
        bundle: true,
        outfile: 'main.js',
        plugins: [babel()],
        // target: ['es5'] // if you target es5 with babel, add this option
    })
    .catch(() => process.exit(1));

package.json

{
    "type": "module",
    "scripts": {
        "start": "node esbuild.config.js"
