Gulp boilerplate to use ES2015 with browserify for module loading and babel for the transpiling. It's inspired by es6-browserify-boilerplate and react-app-boilerplate but I have also included other common gulp tasks for managing Sass compilation, image optimization, etc.

I have included the SASS "7 1" boilerplate by Hugo Giraudel

*Run npm install gulp -g (install gulp globally, if don't have installed yet) *Run npm install (install all projects dependecies)

Run gulp (default task) to build the project, compile js, Sass and start the web browser (on port 777, by default)

• gulp styles - compile all files under styles/scss to dist/css (import everything on styles/main) and reload on change
• gulp images - optimize images, handle svg and reloads on image files updates
• gulp html - reloads on html files change
• gulp build-persistent - main task for building js and start a stream with browserify - reloads on js files changes
• gulp build - will also build, but will leave stream once done

As mentioned, Browserify, Babel to handle module loading, transpiling and transform react JSX to normal JS.

The entry point to bundling everything is src/app.js. Import/require everything there and Gulp will take care of the rest.

Modernizr (using browsernizr), Jquery, ES2015 modules and react have been included for test.

Watchify watch for js files updates and emmit a sign to BrowserSync to reload when something has been updated.

There are a lot of new features for the next version of Javascript, ES2015 (formely ES6) available.

There are some simple examples of some of them on this repo, like new type of variables, destructuring, string interpolation, class and modules, but there is a lot more!

Fast library created from Facebook team for building user interface

Transpiles ES6 code into regular ES5 (today's JavaScript) so that it can be run in a today browser. Like traceur but doesn't need a runtime to work. Formerly known as 6to5.

Babel is configured to transpile ES6 modules into CommonJS syntax and we use browserify to bundle the code into one file to deliver it to the browser.

Browserify walks through all files and traces down all require()s to bundle all files together.

Task runner to make defining and running the tasks simpler.
