Description

JSS-cli can specify an export format -e es6 but it cannot specify an import format for es6.

$ ./node_modules/.bin/jss convert dist/colors.js -f css
evalmachine.<anonymous>:1
export default
^^^^^^

SyntaxError: Unexpected token export

It works correctly with:

module.exports = {

So I must transpile everything with Babel first. It would be helpful if JSS-cli could work with ES6.

Versions:

  • jss: 10.0.0-alpha.13
  • jss-cli: 5.0.2

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how the CLI currently handles export formats and implement support for ES6 import syntax. Look at how the 'convert' command parses files and consider adding an option to specify import format or auto detect based on file content.
