Babel Base Project

Use this project as a base for your ECMAScript6 webmodule projects that use Babel.

Setup instructions

Clone/copy the contents of this repo to a new folder.
Fill in your webmodule information in package.json, replacing YOUR-WEBMODULE-NAME with the webmodule name and so on. Make sure you remove the "private": true line to allow npm publish to work.
Add your code to the root directory. .js files inside the build directory are generated by Babel.
Run make to build the .js files inside the build dir. They're also generated automatically before publishing. (Check the prepublish script in package.json)
Replace this readme with the readme of your webmodule project.
Push to github, then npm publish.

Do not to commit the generated .js files inside build to Git.
The babel-runtime dependency is used by babel to polyfill ES6 features and to load helper functions. Given how fast babel is being updated, we've decided to specify only the major version to avoid having webmodules with different runtime versions on the same dependency tree. (Otherwise we'd need to constantly update all ES6 webmodules to follow babel's releases) If that proves to be a problem, (e.g. breakage) we'll change this strategy.
A locally installed copy of babel is used to build, so you don't need a global babel(1) tool installed on your system.
