Using BabelJs to transpile lib to es5

[xaviergxf]

I'm using a third party library that targets es2015 within my angular app. One of my app requirements is to run on IE 11. This third party library has some incompatible language features for IE 11:

• Object shorthand notation.
  I saw that BabelJS could transpile this javascript into a compatible version for ie 11. Is there any way to do this using angular cli? Are there some examples?

Thanks

The CLI does not transpile third-party libraries. Two potential options are to either contact the library developer and request an ES5 version; or attempt to transpile the library directly.

As this is outside of the domain of the CLI itself, asking on a site such as StackOverflow would be a more appropriate venue.

Is there no way to custom module loading with angular cli? Custom options with webpack for example?

Thanks

You can run ng eject to generate a webpack configuration that can be used independently of the CLI. Note, however, that the CLI will no longer be used from that point.
