Please I am trying to convert my javascript code to es5 using babel but It's not working. I can't seem to get it done.
I am using babel standalone to do this because I'm using a non node js environment. I have linked to the standalone as per the documentation...
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@babel/standalone/babel.min.js"></script>
I have also changed the script tag type to type="text/babel"
I also specified this data-type="module" so that it goes with the browser's native support for ES Modules.
But this seems not to work still. And by work I mean the javascript code isn't running on older browsers because of support. I am trying to get my code to work on lg webOS tv 3.0 and from their site, that version of lg webOs tv doesn't support ES6.
I tried using presets from some answers on similar questions but it still didn't work. Mostly because the presets are
<script type="text/babel" data-presets="es2015,stage-3">
<script type="text/babel" data-presets="es2017,stage-2">
Tried both of them and I couldn't still get the browser to run the javascript code. Also it's more jquery than javascript. Infact it's 80% jquery. I can't post the code here because it's huge. There's nothing wrong with code because it runs fine on modern browsers. Only get this problem on lg webOs tv 3.0
Couldn't use babel unfortunately. Wasn't working. I used traucer instead. Easy to use and get started, especially for non-node js environments
