Remove .babelrc from the published package (for using with React Native)

[fson]

Installed from npm, this package doesn't work with React Native, because although the released code is transpiled, .babelrc is also published to npm.

Fixed by adding the files property in package.json to prevent .babelrc from being published.

I understand why Babel should not be applied to node_modules, but in this case I can't do anything about the current behavior of the React Native packager.

I wish you would consider taking this patch as a practical workaround to avoid everyone using redux-optimist with React Native having to publish their own fork to npm. The package published to npm doesn't include the src folder, so I'm quite certain .babelrc doesn't have a practical reason to be published there.

You could contribute a patch to fix the bug in react-native. Alternatively you can rm node_modules/redux-optimist/.babelrc as a postinstall step. I don't want to take this as there are other reasons running babel against node_modules will break things and merging this encourages people to think it's a good idea to do so. I also don't want to have to make the same change to all my other packages or leave all the other module authors in the position of having to do the same thing. If I (and every other package author) merge changes like this, there is no pressure on react-native to fix their bug.

That makes sense. Thanks for taking the time to explain this decision 👍
