Distributed code contains arrow function that breaks apps on IE11

[ArthurClemens]

Our app suddenly broke after updating from 1.0.5 to 2.0.0. Since transpilation normally does not happen on code in node_modules, this library was included as-is. Please include a es5 compatible version.

This module mainly targets Node.js, not the browser. It's up to you to transpile it with Babel if you want to use it in the browser. You can find a more detailed explanation here: sindresorhus/ama#446

If you use Webpack, check out babel-engine-plugin, which transpiles only the dependencies that needs to be transpiled.

If you use Create React App, upgrade to Create React App v2. It supports automatic transpilation of dependencies, which will make this package just work.

I'd argue to re-open this. It's industry standard when it comes to frontend development that npm modules are already babelyfied when published. Because, normally people use babel-loader in combination with webpack but exclude node_modules from transpilation.

I was using Vue-CLI with this package and it still broke IE11 - your answer to this issue is quite lazy

Please add to the ReadMe that it only works for NodeJS and not the Browser
