es6-require

require es6 modules without polluting global require.

This module allows you to require es6 (and jsx) files that are part of your module. Other non-es6 modules in your module or other outside of your module will not be affected. Any es6 modules that the module you required requires will also be wrapped.

The purpose for this library is to provide a runtime compile option for babel that is acceptable to use in libraries. Use this module in index.js to require your main es6 file, and set a browser key in your package.json as well as a browserify transfrom to make sure your module works in node, browserify, and webpack (the application will need to provide a transformer for .es6 or .jsx extensions when using webpack)

install

npm install es6-require

Use

In an es5 js file

var require = module.require('es6-require')(module)
require('./my-module.es6')

API

es6Require(module[, options[, root]])

• module (required instanceof Module): the module variable from the calling file
• options (optional object): described in more detail below
• root (option string): the file path to the root folder of the es6 module if not supplied, __dirname from the calling module will be used. Files outside this directory will not be transformed. any file in a node_modules directory inside inside this directory will also be ignored.

Options (may have any of the following keys)

• extensions: an array of strings, each string should be a file extension (including the leading '.') to be compiled as es6/jsx.
• babel: an options object passed to babel, see babel docs for more details
