non-babel version

[rynop]

Do you have a non-babel version of this module? Node v7.10 has all the es2017 features I need, so I don't need to add the babel dependencies.

Or is the best/only way to clone and run your build then include your code that is put into the dist dir?

Hi @rynop,

this library uses for example import/export (ES6 modules) and these are not supported in any Node.js version yet. Otherwise all needed ES2015 features, that nfc-pcsc lib uses, are supported in 7.10, but to support all 7.x Node.js versions, I need to still transpile some things.

But you don't need to use Babel in your app at all. When you install nfc-pcsc via npm/yarn and then require it in your code, the transpiled source from dist is used, so you don't need to worry about anything.

As a part of the recent improvements (issues fixes), I have changed the way how to import/require nfc-pcsc, removed unnecessary Babel presets and plugins, dropped support for older Node.js versions and hugely improved examples and README.

These changes are not published yet, but I will release them as a part of the upcoming 0.6.0 release in a week or two.

Definitely take a look at these FAQs, which I have added to README to better explain the situation:

• Do I have to use Babel in my app too?
• How do I require/import this library?
  Until I release the new version, in ES2015 use const NFC = require('nfc-pcsc').default.

Hope it helps.

PS Don't forget to star ⭐️ my library, if you find it useful. 😃 Thanks.

Thanks @pokusew I really appreciate the thorough response and readme update. I look forward to v 0.6.0. Closing this now, because as you mention it does not require babel to use.
