I have a simple javascript file like this:
'use strict';
const sentences = [
{subject: 'Javascript', verb: 'is', object: 'great'}
{subject: 'Elephants', verb: 'are', object: 'large'}
];
function say ({subject, verb, object}){
console.log(`${subject} ${verb} ${object}`);
}
for(let s of sentences){
say(s);
}
And i`ve installed gulp for transcompiling purposes. Here's my gulp file:
const gulp = require('gulp');
const babel = require('gulp-babel');
gulp.task('default', function(){
gulp.src("es6/**/*.js").pipe(babel()).pipe(gulp.dest("dist"));
gulp.src("public/es6/**/*.js").pipe(babel()).pipe(gulp.dest("public/dist"));
});
My javascript file is inside a 'es6' and a 'public/es6' folders. So when i run the gulp command, it should work, but it gives me these errors instead:
Joaos-MacBook-Air:chapter2 joaovictor$ gulp

What am i missing here?
I think some of the packages were not installed or compatible, regardless of that, you should make sure all dev-dependencies are installed , source code are available on Babel documentation website [https://babeljs.io/setup]; so your package.json file and .baberlc file should look like this:
so run your code...it should work just fine!!!
