es6-transpiler-config

simple utility for transpiling ES6 and beyond

While under the hood, webpack and Babel are used, the goal here is to provide a simplified subset so most users don't have to worry about the underlying toolchain.

Getting Started

• install this repository:

    $ npm install --save-dev es6-transpiler-config
  

• configure Babel in package.json¹:

  "babel": {
    "presets": ["es2015"]
  }

  (cf. samples/package.json)

• create a webpack.config.js:

  let generateConfig = require("es6-transpiler-config");
   
  module.exports = generateConfig("./src/index.js", "./dist/bundle.js");

  (cf. samples/webpack.config.js)

• start transpiling:

    $ webpack --progress --colors --watch
  

  (cf. script commands in samples/package.json)

¹ While this might also be added to webpack's configuration, that would make it difficult to use the same Babel configuration across different contexts (e.g. by calling require("babel-register") in tests to transpile on demand).
