Nodejs tutorial now in ES6 syntax
Follow @ipetrbroz Follow @augustomaia
We're glad to update the Nodejs tutorial to ECMAScript 6 (ES6) syntax! Here a few benefits:
- uses fewer dependencies
- uses modern node.js/ES6 features (e.g., let/const, fat arrow functions, destructuring, async/await)
- structures the server-side code more in line with express-generator (client-side assets in public folder, and express routes in routes folder)
And don't worry, Heroku currently supports to node.js (LTS) version 8.11.4, more than enough to support this.
