Redefinition of 'Map'

[LinusU]

Node.js dosen't ship with Map from ES6 so I'm using a standalone library to provide it. It seems like standard thinks that Map already exists in the global scope since it gives me back the following error.

/path/to/filename.js:1:4: Redefinition of 'Map'.

This is my code:

let Map = require('es6-map')

In general, this rule is a good thing. It prevents you from redefining Array and other built-ins. You can selectively disable this rule for your situation. Run standard --verbose to find out the rule name (no-native-reassign).

You can disable the specific rule like this:

let Map = require('es6-map') // eslint-disable-line no-native-reassign

Or more succinctly disable all checking on this line, like this:

let Map = require('es6-map') // eslint-disable-line

@LinusU this is because, conceptually, you are overriding the Map built in, its just that you don't have that built in... yet.

Sounds fair enough
