Because I love [JavaScript](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript) so much I want all my projects written using [ECMAScript](http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-262.htm) features regardless if they're supported yet. I also want all my files transpiled into ES5 JavaScript which should run everywhere. ## How? ### Install Node.js & npm First you'll need [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) installed along with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/get-npm). ### Install Babel & Webpack via npm $ npm install --save-dev babel-loader babel-core babel-preset-es2015 webpack This will install Babel & Webpack as development dependencies. ### Configure Babel & Webpack via package.json In your `package.json` file add this: { "name": "my-project", "version": "1.0.0", "description": "", "main": "index.js", "scripts": { "build": "webpack -d --config webpack.config.js" }, "author": "", "license": "ISC", "devDependencies": { "babel-core": "^6.18.0", "babel-loader": "^6.2.5", "babel-preset-es2015": "^6.18.0", "webpack": "^1.13.1" } } This will add `babel-loader`, `babel-core`, `babel-preset-es2015` & `webpack` as development dependencies. It also adds a build script which runs webpack using `webpack.config.js` as its configuration file. ### Create webpack.config.js file Create `webpack.config.js` file at root level: module.exports = { module : { loaders : [ { test : /.js$/, exclude : /(node_modules)/, loaders : ['babel'] } ] }, babel : { presets : ['es2015'] } }; This configuration tells webpack: * Use `babel-loader` (note no `.js` extension) when importing `.js` files. * Exclude `node_modules`. * Use `es2015` preset. * Use CommonJS module format. ### Create index.js file at root level containing ES2015 JavaScript code: import { hello } from './hello.js'; console.log(hello('World')); ### Create hello.js file at root level containing ES2015 JavaScript code: export function hello(name) { return 'Hello ' + name; } ### Build project using npm script: $ npm run build ### Run built code: $ node ./dist/main.js Hello World #### Note: You'll find built code inside `./dist` folder. --- ### Configuring ES2015 features via .babelrc file You may configure which ES2015 features should be transpiled by adding `.babelrc` file at root level: { presets : [ [ es2015, { stage : 0, modules : false, generators : true, debug : true, experimental : true, includeIgnored : true, transformers : {} } ] ], env : { test : { presets : ['es2015', 'stage-0'], debug : true, includeIgnored : true, transformers : {} } }, sourceMaps : 'inline', cacheDirectory : true, cacheCompression : false, babelrc : false, ast : false, babelrcRoots : [], babelrcSearchPaths : [] } For more information see [Babel docs](https://babeljs.io/docs/usage/babelrc/). --- #### Reference: [Webpack - Using Babel Loader](http://webpack.github.io/docs/using-loaders.html#using-babel-loader)<|repo_name|>awilke/awilke.github.io<|file_sep|>/_posts/2016-08-15-Creating-a-Jekyll-theme.md --- layout: post title: "Creating a Jekyll theme" date: "2016-08-15" --- # Creating a Jekyll theme ## What? A [Jekyll theme](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/themes/) is basically just another Jekyll site but with extra functionality added. To create one you need: * A directory structure which includes `_layouts`, `_includes`, `_sass`, `assets`, `_config.yml`. * A [_layouts](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/templates/) directory containing layouts used by pages. * An [_includes](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/includes/) directory containing reusable components. * A [_sass](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/assets/#sass-css-preprocessors) directory containing sass files. * An [assets](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/assets/) directory containing assets (fonts
