Node.js with ES6

A JavaScript project template demonstrating how to load and run ES6 modules with node.js using 'babel-register' module.

Project structure

  • index.js - The startup script to bootstrap the application from an ES6 entry point
  • src/app.js - The default application entry point, which is configurable with 'NODE_APP_ENTRY' environment variable
  • src/ - The source directory which contains source files written in ES6 or plain old JavaScript
  • build/ - The output directory for JavaScripts that are transpiled by Babel
  • scripts/ - The directory that stores npm run scripts (written in pure JavaScript)

Install node module dependencies

npm intall

Run application

npm start

Run application in development mode

npm run dev

Development mode allows developer to "live eidt" the source code and see results immediately upon saving the changes. Hit Ctrl+C to exit development mode.

Transpile ES6 files to JavaScript files

npm run build

The compiled JavaScripts will be put into 'build' directory. Developer can compare the Babel generated JavaScript with the original ES6 code.
