JohnRodney/es6-node-boilerplate

A C++ program to generate a new node project with babel and es6 features enabled.

Description

Setting up a new node project on your local with es6 modules is boring, and the information out there is friendly enough to not waste your time. This command will automate this process so with one command and a few prompts you can get right to coding the project rather than setting it up.

Usage

git clone git@github.com:JohnRodney/es6-node-boilerplate.git

Add an alias to your particular shell profile file alias es6node="path/to/es6node"

Open new terminal to refresh alias settings

mkdir ProjectName cd ProjectName es6node

Start Coding

Result

You should now have a node_modules directory with babel-core and babel-preset-es2015 already installed. A .babelrc file has been generated to map these presets. An index.js file has been generated as the entry point to perform the transpiling. A run.js file has been generated as the first modulization file with a hello world function.

Test the success by typing: node index.js
