ES6 Starterkit

The future is today!

Usage

1. Fork or clone this repository.
2. (Optional) Edit package.json if you intent to publish your package on npm.
3. npm install to install all the required dependencies from npm.
4. Hack src/index.js.
5. Build/rebuild using gulp.
6. Don't forget to edit this README.md file.

Features

• Sanely configured gulpfile.js, package.json, .gitignore, .editorconfig and .jshintrc.
• ES6 code from the src folder is transpiled into ES5 code in the dist folder via 6to5.
• Both CommonJS and ES6 modules are supported.
• Several modules and variables are automatically injected in each module at transpile time. Check (and edit) __prelude.js.
• __DEV__ and __PROD__ are boolean constants reflecting process.env.NODE_ENV. Best friends with envify and uglify.
• __BROWSER__ and __NODE__ are boolean constants trying hard to reflect whether the code runs in the browser (via browserify/webpack) or in a NodeJS env.
• bluebird implementation of Promise is injected into global scope, since its is so neat and it outperforms native Promise.
• should is injected into each module, so you can do development-time assertions that are skipped in production, eg. if(__DEV__) { n.should.be.a.Number; }.
• _ (lodash) is also injected into each module.
