es6-browserify

0.0.7 verified Fri May 01 auth: no javascript abandoned

es6-browserify is a Browserify transform that runs es6-transpiler to transpile ES6 code into ES5. It is no longer maintained and relies on outdated tools such as es6-transpiler (also abandoned). Current stable version: 0.0.7. Release cadence: none. Key differentiators: it was an early attempt to integrate ES6 transpilation into Browserify before Babel became the standard. Not recommended for new projects.

Common errors

error Cannot find module 'es6-transpiler' ↓

cause es6-transpiler is not installed correctly or missing from node_modules.

fix

Use a different transpiler like Babel; es6-transpiler is outdated.

error Error: Transform 'es6-browserify' returned a function that is not a through stream ↓

cause Incorrect usage or broken transform due to compatibility issues with newer Browserify versions.

fix

Avoid using this transform; migrate to babelify.

Warnings

fix Migrate to babelify or other modern transpiler transforms.

breaking This package depends on es6-transpiler which has known security vulnerabilities (e.g., prototype pollution in certain dependencies). ↓

fix Avoid using this package. Consider alternatives like Babel with babelify.

deprecated The package has not been updated since version 0.0.7 (released in 2015) and is effectively abandoned. ↓

fix Switch to actively maintained tools like @babel/preset-env with babelify.

gotcha es6-browserify requires es6-transpiler as a dependency, which may fail to install on newer Node versions due to outdated native modules. ↓

fix Do not use this package; it is not compatible with modern Node.js environments.

Quickstart

Shows how to use es6-browserify as a transform with Browserify to transpile ES6 code.

const browserify = require('browserify');
const es6Browserify = require('es6-browserify');

const b = browserify('./src/app.js', {
  transform: [es6Browserify]
});

b.bundle().pipe(process.stdout);
