Using babel for ES6 #11

Closed karlbright closed 8 years ago

karlbright commented 8 years ago

We've broken ground on the code base and i'm keen to see us get some of the lower level details knocked out now. I think we can all agree that if we're going to do a project to mess with and learn from, then we should probably be using ECMAscript6, in the way of Babel.

The biggest issue we have is what stage/preset we want to use. We could look at allowing experimental features, but there could be a stability cost here, albeit quite low.

Thoughts?

+1 for stage 0.

We should definitely be using ES2015 at the least. Do you guys use stage 0 features in React? (I've not looked into it)

luke-john commented 8 years ago

So it looks like the only feature I'm using that I thought was stage 0 moved to stage 1 a while ago.

So I'm happy with stage-1.

For development I currently use nodemon to run babel-node on /src.

Then for production npm postinstall compiles /src to /dist which is then run by npm start.

And for tests I run babel through mochas --compilers option.

I've also taken to placing babels config in the package.json.

Would be interested to hear how others are using it.
