Running ES6 on unsupported browsers

[whizkydee]

Hi @toddmotto,

With the trending arrival of ES6, I've always been worried on how to implement it on unsupported browsers. Are there any polyfills you would recommend? I stumbled upon this repo but i presume it doesn't support all the features of ES6. Are there any alternatives for total browser support?

Thanks.

I'd 100% use Babel to transpile your ES6 down to ES5: https://babeljs.io/

Thanks @toddmotto,

I guess I understand how it works. You write in ES6, but then it converts it to browser-readable code. But does it work for all features? I mean are there cases where it doesn't convert correctly?

Chrome basically supports everything ES6 anyway, so you're really doing it for non-ES6 feature browsers.

Thanks, even Firefox supports all features of ES6. But not all versions of these browsers support ES6 as you know.
