How to publish a module written in ES6 to NPM?

Question

I was about to publish a module to NPM, when I thought about rewriting it in ES6, to both future-proof it, and learn ES6. I\'ve used Babel to transpile to ES5, and run tests

Answer 1

The main key in package.json decides the entry point to the package once it's published. So you can put your Babel's output wherever you want and just have to mention the right path in main key.

"main": "./lib/index.js",
