library0.6.0jsnpmunverified

A Grunt plugin (v0.6.0) that transpiles ES6 module syntax (import/export) into AMD, CommonJS, or globals using the es6-module-transpiler. Requires Grunt ~0.4.1 and Node >= 0.8.0. It provides a single custom task named 'es6-module-transpiler' for Grunt build systems. Unlike Babel or TypeScript, this package only handles module syntax, not full ES6-to-ES5 transpilation. The project appears unmaintained (last release 2015) and is superseded by modern tools.

grunt-es6-module-transpiler task
✓ grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-es6-module-transpiler');
✗ grunt.loadTasks('node_modules/grunt-es6-module-transpiler/tasks');
The plugin is loaded as a Grunt task, not a direct JS import.
es6-module-transpiler
✓ var transpiler = require('es6-module-transpiler');
✗ var transpiler = require('grunt-es6-module-transpiler');
If you need the transpiler directly, use 'es6-module-transpiler', not the Grunt wrapper.
grunt.initConfig
✓ grunt.initConfig({ 'es6-module-transpiler': { options: { type: 'amd' }, files: { 'dest.js': 'src.js' } } });
✗ grunt.initConfig({ transpile: { ... } });
The task name is 'es6-module-transpiler', not 'transpile' or other.

Known issues
deprecatedThis package is no longer actively maintained. Use Babel or TypeScript for ES6 module transpilation.
fix
Switch to @babel/core and @babel/preset-env, or use TypeScript with esModuleInterop.
affects: *
breakingGrunt ~0.4.1 is required; incompatible with Grunt 1.x.
fix
Downgrade Grunt to 0.4.x, or migrate to a different module transpiler.
affects: >=0.6.0
gotchaOnly transpiles module syntax, not ES6 features like arrow functions or classes.
fix
Use a full transpiler (e.g., Babel) for complete ES6 support.
affects: *
gotchaThe task name 'es6-module-transpiler' must be quoted in Gruntfile config because of hyphens.
fix
Always use quotes: grunt.initConfig({ 'es6-module-transpiler': {...} });
affects: *
