6to5 browserify plugin
$ npm install -g 6to5-browserify
$ browserify script.js -t 6to5-browserify --outfile bundle.js
var fs = require("fs");
var browserify = require("browserify");
var to5Browserify = require("6to5-browserify");
browserify({ debug: true })
.transform(to5Browserify)
.require("./script.js", { entry: true })
.bundle()
.on("error", function (err) { console.log("Error : " + err.message); })
.pipe(fs.createWriteStream("bundle.js"));
browserify().transform(to5Browserify.configure({
blacklist: ["generators"]
}))
By default all files with the extensions .js, .es6 and .jsx are compiled.
You can change this by passing an array of extensions.
NOTE: This will override the default ones so if you want to use any of them you have to add them back.
browserify().transform(to5Browserify.configure({
extensions: [".6to5"]
}))
browserify().transform(to5Browserify.configure({
// Optional ignore regex - if any filenames **do** match this regex then they
// aren't compiled
ignore: /regex/,
// Optional only regex - if any filenames **don't** match this regex then they
// aren't compiled
only: /my_es6_folder/
}))
