es6-transpiler-config

library1.0.2jsnpmunverified

A simplified utility for transpiling ES6+ JavaScript using webpack and Babel under the hood, aiming to reduce configuration overhead. Version 1.0.2 is the latest stable release, with no recent updates (last published years ago). It provides a single function `generateConfig` that returns a webpack configuration object for easy setup. Notable differentiators: it abstracts away webpack and Babel details, but requires manual Babel preset configuration in package.json. This package appears to be unmaintained and superseded by more modern bundlers.

generateConfig

✓ const generateConfig = require('es6-transpiler-config');

✗ import generateConfig from 'es6-transpiler-config';

CommonJS only; ESM import is not supported. Use require() for Node < 6.

Shows minimal setup: install required dependencies, configure Babel preset in package.json, and create a webpack config using generateConfig().

// Install: npm install --save-dev es6-transpiler-config webpack babel-core babel-preset-es2015 // package.json babel config: // "babel": { "presets": ["es2015"] } const generateConfig = require('es6-transpiler-config'); const path = require('path'); module.exports = generateConfig( './src/index.js', './dist/bundle.js' );
