brunch-es6-transpiler

0.0.1 verified Fri May 01 auth: no javascript abandoned

A Brunch plugin that transpiles ES6 (ES2015) JavaScript to ES5 using the es6-transpiler library. Version 0.0.1 is the only release, with no updates since 2015; the plugin is effectively abandoned. It integrates as a Brunch build pipeline plugin, but the underlying es6-transpiler library has long been superseded by Babel. This plugin lacks active maintenance and may break with modern Brunch versions. It was an early attempt at ES6 transpilation for Brunch projects, now obsolete.
