Is there any way we could get this merged?

I am not an expert with Babel.
@Playrom or anyone else Does moving it to src have any side-effect?

[Playrom]

no idea @dj-hedgehog

[dantman]

No, babel files simply apply to all files in the directory they are in and sub-directories under them. So moving .babelrc to src/ only changes things so that the .babelrc doesn't apply to anything outside of src/. And from what I can see your tests and the root bookshelf.js do not use transpiled syntax.

we are in process to discuss about the complete removal of babel from the codebase , in #1606 , please come there to discuss about any cons in the process

if we will choose to maintain babel we will merge this PR

[chamini2]

What about merging and removing babel if the issue resolves to that later?

[ricardograca]

Sounds good to me. What do you think @mrhwick ?

LGTM

From docs here

Babel will look for a .babelrc in the current directory of the file being transpiled. If one does not exist, it will travel up the directory tree until it finds either a .babelrc, or a package.json with a "babel": {} hash within.
