Babel6 support

[krainboltgreene]

Hello! So my server is currently run with:

  "scripts": {
    "start": "npm-run-all --parallel lint server:development",
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
    "server:development": "nodemon ./server/ --exec babel-node ..."
  },

How does this fit into the system?

I just added an ES2015 example. You could use a custom HTML index that registers babel, or you could just have your application entry point register babel.

Another approach is to use babel to transpile your src/ folder (perhaps incrementally, if possible), and then have devtool just watch the dist folder.

devtool dist/index.js --watch dist/**/*.js

So for those looking for a s similar situation here's what I did:

• Enable babel6 source mapping (.babelrc, "both")
• Build your babel source
• Run against build source

Still trying to figure out how to integrate this with nodemon.

A note, you can take advantage of node 5 features in electron - if you already do in your prod environment. So you can use the babel 6 preset babel-preset-es2015-node5 just fine. (as per my PR)
