Node 5.6 Doesn't Understand ES6?

Question

Trying both node and node --harmony but I continue to get the \'SyntaxError: Unexpected token import\' error.

I have two files, A.ts<

Try https://www.npmjs.com/package/ts-node. It allows compiling of typescript a la node.

Also make sure your tsconfig.json is set to compile with commonjs. https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/tsconfig.json

Here is what my tsconfig.json looks like:

{
  "version": "1.0",
  "compilerOptions": {
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "target": "es5",
    "module": "commonjs",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "removeComments": true,
    "sourceMap": false
  }
}
