Untranspiled code 🛑

Okiba Core packages are not transpiled, so don't forget to transpile them with your favourite bundler. For example, using Babel with Webpack, you should prevent imports from okiba to be excluded from transpilation, like follows:

{
  test: /\.js$/,
  exclude: /node_modules\/(?!(@okiba)\/).*/,
  use: {
    loader: 'babel-loader',
    options: {
      presets: ['@babel/preset-env']
    }
  }
}
