How to run Node.js app with ES6 features enabled?

Question

I use the require hook of BabelJS (formerly named 6to5) to run node apps with es6features:

// run.js
require(\"babel/register\");
require(\"./app.js6\");
         


        

Answer 1

As of babel 6, you now must install babel-register and use the following

require("babel-register");

Be sure to also install the babel es2015 preset.
