node-es-latest

A simple and fast ES6 environment and build system for NodeJS

Usage

My recommendation is to use the Yoman generator that scaffolds this project for you with just a few questions. You can find more information about how to use it at yo-es-latest. If you don't want to install Yo, You can start by downloading the latest stable release and work on it's src directory.

Latest Release

About

I made this project so that I don't have to setup every simple thing that a NodeJS project definitely needs. Things such as transpiling and inline source maps are included. I tried to keep it simple and minimalistic so I don't need to use a wrecking ball to turn this project into what I need. It can simply be a starting point for any of my NodeJS projects.

Goals

• Supporting latest stable version of Javascript syntax
• Startup time in development should be very fast
• Transpiling and starting of project should be done with a single command
• Cloning and starting the project should be relatively fast and without a need to do any extra configurations

At last, All the needed work to do should be simply invoking an npm or git command or downloading a zip version of the project and then starting to write code in ES6 syntax and run it without a need for extra configurations.

Transpiling

You can transpile the project by running:

npm run build

More commands

If you want to transpile and run use:

npm start

If you wan t to transpile and run and reload every time you make a change use:

npm run watch

This will output your src directory to the dist.
