Answer 1

It works in the webpack situation because the code is run through babel. You can run your node.js code through babel.

Install the babel cli if you don't have it

npm install --save-dev babel-cli

Then run your code like this:

./node_modules/.bin/babel-node server.js

Or put it in package.json.

{
  "scripts": {
    "start": "babel-node server.js"
  }
}
