Convert ES6 to ES2015 using babel and laravel-mix
Solution 1
There's a mix.babel()
command that can handle this.
It's identical to mix.scripts()
so it requires a little more legwork. I cheat and do this and then serve the es5.js to IE:
mix.js('resources/assets/js/app.js', 'public/js')
.babel('public/js/app.js', 'public/js/app.es5.js')
.sass('resources/assets/sass/app.scss', 'public/css');
Solution 2
The code is not 100% correct, babel first argument can be an array, if we want to pass multiple files:
mix.js('resources/assets/js/app.js', 'public/js')
.babel(['public/js/app.js'], 'public/js/app.es5.js')
.sass('resources/assets/sass/app.scss', 'public/css');
Solution 3
I will prefer to maintain app.js
as my final js output. It's a preferred naming convention.
So like every other person, if babel works for you, then
webpack.confog.js
mix.js('resources/assets/js/app.js', 'public/js/app1.js')
.babel('public/js/app1.js', 'public/js/app.js')
.sass('resources/assets/sass/app.scss', 'public/css');
With this I still maintain public/js
and entry point through out my application.
But I prefer using the solution I posted here: Laravel Mix: Configure Babel for IE11 compatibility (transformations and polyfills)

I have ES6 JavaScript code in my Vue components. In order to support IE 11 I need to convert it to ES5 code using babel and laravel-mix. How do I do that?
Here is my webpack.mix.js file.
let mix = require('laravel-mix'); mix.js('resources/assets/js/app.js', 'public/js') .js('resources/assets/js/admin-app.js', 'public/js')
