Preset a file. What does it do?

Hello, I have a question just to understand one lever deeper so I can keep it in my mind easliy.

In this video we installed some packages. 2 of them named preset. As I understand "preset" stands for, "install this pack but only use it when i tell you to use it"

So we create a .babelrc document and we declare that we need to use this presets on our project.

Do i follow the info right, is there anything do I miss?

In babel, a preset is simply a collection of plugins that support a particular language. Simply a package of stuff for your convenience.

Please refer to this for more information.

I hope this helps.
