Upgrade code base to ES6/ES7? #19

Open cswl opened 8 years ago

cswl commented 8 years ago

I'm looking for project to try upgrading old code to new JavaScript standards. So if you're planning to switch to es2015+, I can take a shot at this..

And if so, some questions..

What minimum node version to support? Ref: http://node.green/
If we want to use es2016 features like exponential operator or add es2015 modules we need to use babel and hence add a build step. Is that okay?

I think I'm running this project off node 4.4 but I'm on holidays until Wednesday so I won't be able to tell you the exact version until then. Don't think I've used much ecmascript before but from what I've read, it doesn't seem to be much different from normal js

cswl commented 8 years ago

ecmascript's implementation is javascript .. the normal js you meant is ES5, the newer ones are ES2015/ ES2016.. :|

Oh... if you are looking for a project to upgrade, feel free to use this project. I'm sire it won't take too long to get used to ES2015/2016.

Alright, I will see what stuffs I can refactor.. should I start in the master or the beta-versions branch?

The beta-versions branch contains the newest versions
