ember-cli-6to5

library3.0.0jsnpmunverified

An Ember-CLI plugin that uses 6to5 (the precursor to Babel) to transpile ES6 syntax to ES5 for Ember-CLI projects. Version 3.0.0 is the latest stable release. This package is historical and has been superseded by ember-cli-babel. It blacklists the 6to5 module transform by default in favor of Ember-CLI's own ES6 module transpiler. Key differentiator: it was an early integration of 6to5/Babel into Ember-CLI, now obsolete.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

default

✓ import Ember from 'ember'; // ES6 modules

✗ var Ember = require('ember'); // CJS require, but Ember-CLI uses AMD

ember-cli-6to5 transpiles ES6 to ES5 but module syntax is handled by Ember-CLI's own transpiler; avoid mixing module systems.

config

✓ // In Brocfile.js: var app = new EmberApp({ '6to5': { comments: false } });

✗ // Attempting to configure in ES module syntax

Configuration is done via EmberApp options, not in ES module import.

compileModules

✓ // In Brocfile.js: var app = new EmberApp({ '6to5': { compileModules: true } });

✗ // Omitting compileModules and expecting 6to5 to handle modules

By default compileModules is false; set to true to let 6to5 handle module transpilation instead of Ember-CLI.

Installs ember-cli-6to5, configures it in Brocfile.js to disable comments, and shows usage of ES6 template literals and arrow functions in an Ember component.

// 1. Install npm install --save-dev ember-cli-6to5 // 2. Configure in Brocfile.js var EmberApp = require('ember-cli/lib/broccoli/ember-app'); var app = new EmberApp({ '6to5': { // Disable comments for smaller output comments: false } }); // 3. Use ES6 features in your Ember app // app/components/my-component.js import Ember from 'ember'; export default Ember.Component.extend({ didInsertElement() { let message = `Hello from ES6!`; console.log(message); } }); module.exports = app.toTree();

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedember-cli-6to5 is deprecated; use ember-cli-babel instead.

fix

Run 'npm uninstall --save-dev ember-cli-6to5 && npm install --save-dev ember-cli-babel' and update Brocfile.js to use 'babel' instead of '6to5'.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaBy default, module compilation is disabled; 6to5 does not transpile ES6 modules. Ember-CLI's own module transpiler is used instead.

fix

Set compileModules: true in the 6to5 options to enable 6to5 module transpilation.

affects: >=3.0.0

gotchaThe package is named after 6to5, which was renamed to Babel. Ember-cli-6to5 only works with 6to5 v1.x, not with later Babel versions.

fix

Migrate to ember-cli-babel for compatibility with modern Babel.

affects: >=0.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Cannot find module '6to5'

The package ember-cli-6to5 expects the '6to5' global, but if 6to5 is not installed or is version mismatched, the addon fails.

fix

Ensure 6to5 is installed: 'npm install --save-dev 6to5' or migrate to ember-cli-babel.

Error: 6to5 options must be an object. Received undefined

The configuration in Brocfile.js for the '6to5' key is missing or incorrectly placed.

fix

Configure 6to5 options within the EmberApp constructor as shown: var app = new EmberApp({ '6to5': { /* options */ } });
