Effective transpiling of ES6

After publishing my article on ECMAScript 6, some have reached out to ask how I exactly I make it all work.

I refrained from including these details on the original post because they're subject to immiment obsoletion. These tools are changing and evolving quickly, and some of these instructions are likely to become outdated in the coming months or even weeks.

The main tool

When evaluating the available transpilers, I decided to use 6to5, which has recently been renamed to Babel. I chose it based on:

/**
 * Register ajax transports for blob send/recieve and array buffer send/receive via XMLHttpRequest Level 2
 * within the comfortable framework of the jquery ajax request, with full support for promises.
 *
 * Notice the +* in the dataType string? The + indicates we want this transport to be prepended to the list
 * of potential transports (so it gets first dibs if the request passes the conditions within to provide the
 * ajax transport, preventing the standard transport from hogging the request), and the * indicates that
 * potentially any request with any dataType might want to use the transports provided herein.
 *
 * Remember to specify 'processData:false' in the ajax options when attempting to send a blob or arraybuffer -

App.Router.map(function() {
  this.resource('post', { path: '/posts/:post_id' });
});

App.PostRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
  model: function(params) {
    return this.store.find('post', params.post_id);
  }
});

// Converts an ArrayBuffer directly to base64, without any intermediate 'convert to string then
// use window.btoa' step. According to my tests, this appears to be a faster approach:
