ES6 transformation not working

[martintietz]

Using this example file test.jsx:

class TestClass {
    testoutput() {
        console.log('Some text...');
    }
};

module.exports = TestClass;

Trying to require test.jsx from inside another file ...

require('node-jsx').install({ extension: '.jsx', harmony: true });

var test = require('./test.jsx');

test.testoutput();

... gives me the following error:

test.testoutput();
     ^
TypeError: undefined is not a function

This doesn't work for me either:

// app.js
require('node-jsx').install({ extension: '.jsx', harmony: true });
require('es6-component');

// es6-component.jsx
var ES6Component = React.createClass({
  render() {
    return (<div></div>);
  }
});

Results in:

  render() {
        ^
SyntaxError: Unexpected token (

I believe you need to require a .jsx in another module:

require('node-jsx').install({ extension: '.jsx', harmony: true });
require('./app');

// app.js
var test = require('./test.jsx');
test.testoutput();

does it work?

Are you referring to @martintietz's example or mine? I've made mine a bit more clear. It should be possible this way, right?

[gpbl]

Both :) Now you require a .jsx in the same module where require('node-jsx').install is placed. I think the "new" require is not yet enabled. Try, instead, to require another "normal" js module, into which you require the .jsx file (as in my example). I remember I had a similar issue i solved this way.

[Jpunt]

I don't get it. I require/install node-jsx from the root level in which I include some jsx later on. See this branch of my example of how I did this. This should work, right?

Both examples cited have syntax errors. See my gist for corrections.

Ah, that makes sense. I'll try it out shortly, thanks! Can't wait for 0.13 to get out of beta though :)

[Jpunt]

Writing it the way you've explained, this refers to an empty object instead of the class it initiates (I'm working with fluxible, so I need to get the context from there). I guess I'll wait for 0.13 for proper ES6-support. Thanks anyway!
