library0.7.18jsnpmunverified

An ES6 to ES5 transpiler that focuses on producing output without a runtime library, using only polyfills when necessary. It avoids try/catch for block binding, supports spread via .concat with iterator protocol, and strives for minimal temporary variables. The project is in beta and supports classes, destructuring, block binding (let/const), arrow functions, spread, for-of, comprehensions, template strings, object literals, binary/octal literals, unicode code point escapes, and RegExp flags. It does not support modules, generators, or symbols. Release cadence: dormant; latest version 0.7.18 from 2015. Key differentiator: no runtime library, line-to-line mapping, Closure Compiler support.

Code
Verified usage

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

transpile
✓ var transpile = require('es6-transpiler').transpile;
✗ import { transpile } from 'es6-transpiler';
Package is not an ES module; only CommonJS require works.
default
✓ var es6transpiler = require('es6-transpiler');
✗ import es6transpiler from 'es6-transpiler';
No default export; require returns an object with transpile method.
run
✓ var es6transpiler = require('es6-transpiler'); es6transpiler.run(src, options);
run() is available for programmatic use with source string.

Demonstrates programmatic usage: require, transpile a simple ES6 snippet, and log the output ES5 source.

var es6transpiler = require('es6-transpiler'); var result = es6transpiler.transpile('let x = 1; const y = 2;'); console.log(result.src); // Optionally configure with options object: var result2 = es6transpiler.transpile('() => 42', { environments: ['node'] }); console.log(result2.src);

Debug
Known issues
deprecatedProject is no longer maintained; not compatible with modern Node.js versions (ES6 features in V8 have diverged).
fix
Use Babel or Typescript for ES6 transpilation.
affects: >=0.7.18
breakingRequires an Object.create polyfill for older browsers (e.g., IE8).
fix
Include es5-shim or a polyfill before using the output.
affects: >=0.1.0
gotchaThe transpiler does not support modules, generators, or Symbol; if used on code with these, it may produce incorrect output or crash.
fix
Avoid using unsupported ES6 features or switch to a more modern transpiler.
affects: >=0.1.0
gotchaThe package does not ship TypeScript definitions; types must be declared manually.
fix
Define your own type declarations or use @ts-ignore.
affects: >=0.1.0
gotchaThe transpile function returns an object; it is not a streaming transform. For Gulp/Grunt, use wrapper plugins.
fix
Use grunt-es6-transpiler or gulp-es6-transpiler for build tool integration.
affects: >=0.1.0
Errors
Common errors & fixes
Cannot find module 'es6-transpiler'
Package not installed or not found in node_modules.
fix
Run 'npm install es6-transpiler' in your project directory.
TypeError: es6transpiler.transpile is not a function
Incorrect import: using import instead of require on a CommonJS module.
fix
Use 'var es6transpiler = require("es6-transpiler");' instead of ES module import.
SyntaxError: Unexpected token import (or other ES6 syntax) in transpiled output
Transpiler does not support 'import' statements (modules).
fix
Remove modules from source or use another transpiler like Babel.
