Babel in yeoman webapp

Question

I've been trying for some time to get Babel (6to5) working with yeoman webapp generator but I failed miserably. I've tried different configurations but none of them worked and I didn't any solution in the Internet. Does anyone succeeded in getting babel to work with webapp generator? If so, could you share with me your grunt config file?

Thanks, Lucas

Answer 1

There is a Grunt plug-in for Babel if you haven't gotten to it yet (I know it's been a couple months since you asked).

Answer 2

There are a couple official(ish)* solutions for babel yeoman generators:

• https://github.com/thejameskyle/generator-es6-library-boilerplate (port of https://github.com/babel/babel-library-boilerplate ) for browserify/general usage

• https://github.com/megawac/generator-babel-node (port of https://github.com/jmeas/es6-node-boilerplate ) for node/io.js usage specifically.

_{* They are yeoman ports of the official boilerplate samples}
