Quickstart

Demonstrates requiring babbybel to enable ES module import/export syntax in Node.js 6.

// Install: npm install --save babbybel
// Then in your app entry point:
require('babbybel');

// Now you can use ES module syntax:
import myDefault from './my-module';
import { feature1, feature2 as renamed } from './other-module';
export default function myFunc() { return 'hello'; }
export const value = 42;
