Compatibility with older browsers? about inkjs

[y-lohse]

That's a good point and I haven't investigated it much.

I've mostly stuck to "simple" es6 features, such as classes and arrow functions. Those have been supported in evergreen browser for a while now, so firefox / chrome / opera / edge should be fine.

The problem may be with safari 9 & under, and IE 11 & under. For those cases, babel should indeed do the trick. It's actually already used, but I don't think it has any effect. I'll look into that.

Here's handy chart for es6 feature support, just in case :-).

And great to hear that export for web is comming to inky!

Hrm. I released a new version of Inky today with the Export for web functionality. At the last minute I decided to try it on my phone (iOS, mobile safari), and it doesn't have support for the most basic of features that you mention: (arrow) => { functions }.

It was a shame that I had to add warning messages to the release mentioning that caveat. We should really work out how to translate these modern features into older JavaScript, since that's really cutting out a large portion of users... :-/

No problem, I'm a bit busy at the moment but I will catch up with version 0.4 next week, and I'll have a look at properly using babel. Unless someone wants to give it a go before then :-)

@joethephish I've published a new version with babel enabled, so things should now work on safari?

The only browser I have at hand that doesn't support these is IE11. It can now more or less run inkjs, though I found another error after doing the release. Let me know how it does for you :-)

Fantastic, works great - thanks! Will update Inky :-)
