RubyGems.org Adds New Maintainer Role
RubyGems.org has added a new "maintainer" role that allows for publishing new versions of gems. This new permission type is aimed at improving security for gem owners and the service overall.

ES6 Module Loader polyfill based on http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=harmony:module_loaders by Luke Hoban, Addy Osmani and Guy Bedford.
Not yet suitable for production use while the specification is still subject to change.
Include the loader in the page:
<script src="path/to/es6-module-loader.js"></script>
Use the System (pre-configured Loader):
<script>
System.baseURL = '/lib';
System.import('js/test1', function (test1) {
console.log('js/test1.js loaded', test1);
});
</script>
where, test1 can contain module syntax:
test1.js:
export function tester() {
console.log('hello!');
}
Load multiple modules:
System.import(['js/test1', 'js/test2'], function(test1, test2) {
console.log('test1.js loaded', test1);
console.log('test2.js loaded', test2);
}, function(err) {
console.log('loading error');
});
Load a plain JavaScript file from a URL:
System.load('js/libs/jquery-1.7.1.js', function() {
var $ = System.global.jQuery;
console.log('jQuery loaded', $);
$('body').css({'background':'blue'});
});
Include both Traceur and the ES6 module loader in the page:
<script src="path/to/traceur.js"></script>
<script src="path/to/es6-module-loader.js"></script>
Load an ES6 module (test.js):
export class MyClass {
foo() {
console.log('es6!');
}
}
Import the module:
<script>
System.load('test', function(test) {
new test.MyClass();
});
</script>
Define a new module Loader instance:
var loader = new Loader({
global: window,
strict: false,
normalize: function (name, referer) {
return normalized(name, referer.name);
},
resolve: function (normalized, options) {
return '/' + normalized + '.js';
},
fetch: function (url, fulfill, reject, options) {
fulfill(source);
},
translate: function (source, options) {
return compile(source);
},
link: function (source, options) {
return {
imports: ['some', 'dependencies'],
execute: function(depA, depB) {
return new Module({
some: 'export'
});
}
};
}
});
The above hooks are all optional, using the default System hooks when not present.
For an overview of working with custom loaders, see Yehuda Katz's essay or the ES6 Module Specification.
The Esprima ES6 Harmony parser is being used to do parsing, loaded only when necessary.
The following module statements are currently supported:
import 'jquery'; // import a module
import $ from 'jquery'; // import the default export of a module
import { $ } from 'jquery'; // import a named export of a module
import { $ as jQuery } from 'jquery'; // import a named export to a different name
export var x = 42; // export a named variable
export function foo() {}; // export a named function
export default var x = 42; // export the default export
export default function foo() {}; // export the default export as a function
export default = function foo() {}; // export the default export by assignment
export { encrypt }; // export an existing variable
export { decrypt as dec }; // export a variable as a new name
export { encrypt as en } from 'crypto'; // export an export from another module
export * from 'crypto'; // export all exports from another module
For use in NodeJS, the Module
, Loader
and System
globals are provided as exports:
var System = require('es6-module-loader').System;
System.import('some-module', callback);
Tracuer support can also be used in NodeJS, allowing ES6 syntax in NodeJS:
require('es6-module-loader').traceur = require('traceur');
var System = require('es6-module-loader').System;
System.import('es6-file', function(module) {
module.classMethod();
});
To set a custom path to the Esprima Harmony parser, specify the data-esprima-src
attribute on the <script>
tag used to include the module loader.
The polyfill is implemented exactly to the specification as closely as possible.
The only feature which is not possible to fully polyfill is the intrinsics functionality and sandboxing of the loader. Custom builtins and full global encapsulation is still provided.
The System normalization and resolution functions are not fully described by the specification, so some assumptions have been made which are listed here https://gist.github.com/guybedford/3712492cf0f629eed761.
To follow the current the specification changes, see https://github.com/ModuleLoader/es6-module-loader/issues?labels=specification&page=1&state=open.
In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using grunt.
Also, please don't edit files in the "dist" subdirectory as they are generated via grunt. You'll find source code in the "lib" subdirectory!
