Meta: ES Next

[feross]

Let's convert all WebTorrent packages to ES6. (Continued from #444)

Note that this is a separate task from async-await (Promises) support.

• webtorrent
• bittorrent-dht
• bittorrent-peerid
• bittorrent-protocol
• bittorrent-tracker
• create-torrent
• magnet-uri
• parse-torrent
• render-media
• torrent-discovery
• ut_metadata
• ut_pex
• webtorrent-fixtures
• addr-to-ip-port
• webtorrent-cli
• webtorrent-hybrid
• load-ip-set
• ip-set

Do you plan to add support for ESModule like imports?

import { WebTorrent } from 'https://unpkg.com/webtorrent'

Uncaught SyntaxError: The requested module 'https://unpkg.com/webtorrent' does not provide an export named 'WebTorrent'

[DiegoRBaquero]

@hgghyxo I think you have to do import * as WebTorrent from ...

[hgghyxo]

Have tried all the methods, but it always have some problems. In this case:

Uncaught ReferenceError: module is not defined
at index.js:3

which is module.exports = WebTorrent
but pretty sure it would have problems with require() as well

Tried the minified version as well:
import * as WebTorrent from 'https://unpkg.com/webtorrent@0.102.1/webtorrent.min.js'

Uncaught TypeError: WebTorrent is not a constructor
at main.js:3

[hgghyxo]

my workaround here is to simply call a <script src="//unpkg.com/webtorrent@0.102.1/webtorrent.min.js"> tag from index.html

[DiegoRBaquero]

Are you using webpack, babel?

[hgghyxo]

neither, ESModule:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/import
the <script type="module" src="..."> thingy

[DiegoRBaquero]

oh, then just use the normal import and it'll be available as a global.

There's no plan on supporting ES Modules atm

Webtorrent-hybrid was't a big project: webtorrent/webtorrent-hybrid#86
:)

[DiegoRBaquero]

webtorrent main lib done!

[DiegoRBaquero]

Just a note to everyone!

You can use lebab with this command: lebab --replace <FILE> --transform arrow,let,includes,template,default-param,obj-shorthand,obj-method,arg-spread,arg-rest,for-each,class
