如何使用babel6与.babelrc

Question

I'm hitting this example . I had cloned it and run npm install .

Then I try to run babel lib -d dist , but I get ReferenceError: [BABEL] lib/index.js: Unknown option: /home/.../example-node-server/.babelrc.presets .

What's wrong? How can I properly transpile es6 code with babel6 and .babelrc using presets?

To use babel from the command line (not from your JavaScript code), install babel-cli globally:

 npm install -g babel-cli

or locally:

 npm install babel-cli

In case of local install you can run it with:

 ./node_modules/.bin/babel
