# @babel/helper-simple-assignment There are many cases where it is hard to perform transformations because a piece of code is using complex structures. Say you want to rewrite all accesses to a given variable, and there are cases like ``` i += 1 --i; ``` It is difficult to work with. This helper can handle converting these to simple access patterns of standard assignment. This plugin does _not_ handle ``` { a } = foo; ``` so assignment to patterns still needs to be handled when you are processing updates to values. ## Usage TODO
