Is it possible write a gulpfile in es6?

Question

Question: How can I write my gulp file in ES6 so I can use import instead of require and use => syntax over

Answer 1

Steps I followed for developing the code for gulpfile in es6:

• npm install gulp && sudo npm install gulp -g.
• Please make sure that you you are using the updated version of Gulp. The current version at the time of writing this answer was 3.9.1. To check which version of gulp is installed, type gulp -v
• npm install babel-core babel-preset-es2015-without-strict --save-dev
• Type touch .babelrc in the terminal

• In the .babelrc file, add this code

  { "presets": ["es2015-without-strict"] }

• Created the gulp config file with the name gulpfile.babel.js

• Voila!!! You can now write the config code for gulp in ES6.
