Using ES6 without a transpiler
If your app does not need to support IE11, you can use most ES6 features without a build step. Just deliver your plain JavaScript without transpilation through Babel or TypeScript, and modern browsers will run them natively.
Features supported by all modern browsers include:
- fat arrow functions (
() => { expr }) -
let/const class-
async/await - Promises
- Generators
- Symbols
- Rest arguments (
...args) - Destructuring
You won't be able to use import and export, or use npm modules.
See this ES6 compatibility matrix for details.
