jspm ES6 demo

This demo project demonstrates an ES6 jspm workflow:

1. Write ES6 modules and load external modules from CDN

   • Clone this repo, and open test.html.
   • This HTML file runs System.import('lib/main').
   • We are dynamically loading jQuery from jspm.io's github endpoint (as defined in config.js), and running an ES6 module load.
   • See lib/main.js and lib/myclass.js for the ES6 module files being loaded dynamically in the browser.

2. Install external modules locally instead of using CDN versions

   • Install jspm: npm install jspm -g.
   • In the repo, run jspm install.
   • With no arguments, dependencies are installed from the package.json. We could also do jspm install jquery for example.
   • Run jspm setmode local, then open test.html.
   • We are now loading jQuery from the locally installed version, no other configuration or code changes being necessary for this switch.

3. Bundle into a single file for production

   • Run jspm bundle lib/main --inject.
   • This creates a file build.js containing all dependencies needed for lib/main to run; a source map is also created.
   • --inject adds the bundle definition to config.js; the appropriate bundle is then loaded automatically when a module is requested from it.
   • We could alternatively use <script src="build.js"></script> after SystemJS but before the import.
   • All code is now loaded fully compiled from the single bundle.
