6to5-nw

A module to develop node-webkit applications with ES6 easily.

Installation

As any dependencies of your node-webkit app, just run :

npm install 6to5-nw --save

Usage

In your index.html file, you can add a script which call the module

require('6to5-nw')(entryScript, options);

entryScript is the entry point of your application.

options is en object composed by up to 3 items:

browserify : browserify options object.
to5 : 6to5 options object.
watch : true or false depending if you want the application to reload when you save a (client) script or not.

Example

<script>
  require('6to5-nw')('./index', {
  	browserify: {
  		debug: true
  	},
  	to5: {
  		sourceMap: 'inline'
  	},
  	watch: true
  });
</script>

Polyfill

6to5 provide ES6 polyfills from external projects (core.js and regenerator), you can apply them simply by adding the import "6to5/polyfill" statement. Note that because the core.js polyfill replace the console module, you may loose source-maps information in devtools's console.

Production

When you are ready to ship the program, you can simply run ugifyjs on the bundle, and replace the old script tag with the minified bundle.
