es6-module-mapper

DISCLAIMER: This is currently a ducktaped together solution, use at your own risk.

Transforms ES6 module syntax into object references (uses a single global object map) via recast and integrates into sprockets for dependency management, concatenation, etc..

Usage

NOTE: This requires nodejs to be available via the node executable at runtime. If you're deploying with a Heroku buildpack you will need the multi buildpack.

Include the gem in your Gemfile

# Gemfile
gem 'es6-module-mapper', :git => 'https://github.com/jvatic/es6-module-mapper.git, :branch => 'master'

and require it:

require 'sprockets'
require 'es6-module-mapper'

You may wish to disable the Sprockets::DirectiveProcessor if you're not using sprockets directives:

sprockets_environment.unregister_preprocessor(
  'application/javascript', Sprockets::DirectiveProcessor)

You may now use the ES6 module syntax:

// foo.js
export function foo() {
  return "foo";
}

var FOO = "foobar";
export { FOO as FOOBAR };

// bar.js
import { foo as echoFoo, FOOBAR } from "foo";
console.log(echoFoo()); // prints "foo" to the console
console.log(FOOBAR); // prints "foobar" to the console
