Possible to run without "--harmony --use_strict" ?

[drschwabe]

Hi there, with this module I can only run my app using node --harmony --use_strict myApp.js is there a way to get node-tvdb working without those flags? Unfortunately other modules in my project have issues with those.

Hey, thanks for getting in touch. Which version of node are you using?

[drschwabe]

node 12.7 without flags returns:

$ node myapp
/myapp/node_modules/node-tvdb/index.js:12
const request = require("request");
^^^^^
SyntaxError: Use of const in strict mode.
...

If you add --harmony it results in a slightly different error:

$ node --harmony myapp
/myapp/node_modules/node-tvdb/index.js:41
class Client {
^^^^^
SyntaxError: Unexpected reserved word

And finally, with --harmony and --use_strict flags node-tvdb has no errors but then a dozen of my other modules do :/

if you require('node-tvdb/compat') does this fix the issue?

[edwellbrook]

(see second piece of example code in example usage in readme for more info)

[drschwabe]

Ah, yes requiring node-tvdb/compat does solve it; didn't see that second example there, thank-you.
