Es6ModuleTranspiler-Rails

Transpile ES6 Modules in the Rails Asset Pipeline

Installation

Node.js must be installed for the transpiling to happen

gem 'es6_module_transpiler-rails'

Usage

Your modules will transpile are named based upon their directory nesting + filename, as long as the file has the .es6 extension. For example, app/assets/javascripts/controllers/fooController.js.es6

var fooController = function() {
  console.log('fooController is in the house!')
};

export default = fooController;

will compile to

define("controllers/fooController", 
  ["exports"],
  function(__exports__) {
    "use strict";
    var fooController = function() {
      console.log('fooController is in the house!')
    };

    __exports__["default"] = fooController;
  });

Compiling

By default your module will compile to an AMD. If you wish to compile it as a global just make the following switch:

ES6ModuleTranspiler.compile_to = :global
