generator-node-es2015

A Yeoman generator for creating ES2015 JavaScript modules with legacy support using Babel, Webpack, Mocha, Chai, Isparta, ESLint

Features

• ES2015 - generator-node-es2015 uses Babel to transpile ES2015 source code. There are several reasons to use ES2015 alongside with transpilation:

• The transpiled code will work with legacy Node versions;
• Seamless migration after you decide to drop 0.x.x support;

• ES2015 Tests - Mocha flag --compilers js:babel-core/register (it's already preconfigured in the npm test script) allows to transpile Mocha tests written with ES2015 on the fly.
• TDD - The package has a particular npm script npm run tdd to start a Mocha watch task that reruns tests on file changes.
• Git Hooks - Every time before commiting, husky runs npm tasks conveniently configured in the package.json (in this case it automatically starting both test and build tasks). You can temporary disable this feature by adding --no-verify flag (i.e $ git commit -am "Beep bop" --no-verify). The list of all available hooks can be found here.

Installation

# Install Yeoman and the generator globally
$ npm install -g yo generator-node-es2015

# Make a new folder & open it
$ mkdir my-shiny-module && cd $_

# Run the generator
$ yo node-es2015

Workflow

• npm run build - Build task that generates both minified and non-minified scripts;
• npm run test - Run Mocha tests once;
• npm run tdd - Run Mocha tests & watch files for changes;
• npm run coverage - Run Isparta, a code coverage tool;
