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 These tools are changing and evolving quickly, and some of these instructions are likely to become outdated in the coming months or even weeks.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:

Deploying Phoenix on Dokku

Worked 2015-09-08 for Phoenix 1.0.1 on Dokku 0.3.25.

These instructions assume you've set up Dokku. If not, go find a tutorial for that part. My notes for setting it up on Digital Ocean.

On your local machine, in the app's repo

Create a Dokku app:

defmodule EvercamMedia.SnapmailController do
  ...
  def update(conn, %{"id" => snapmail_exid} = params) do
      current_user = conn.assigns[:current_user]

      with :ok <- authorized(conn, current_user),
           {:ok, cameras} <- ensure_cameras_exist("update", conn, params["camera_exids"], current_user),
           {:ok, snapmail} <- snapmail_exist(conn, snapmail_exid),
           true <- snapmail.user_id == current_user.id
      do

Deploying to Fly.io with SQLite

Deploying a Phoenix app to Fly.io is a breeze...is what everyone kept telling me. In fairness, I imagine the process would have been breezier had I just used postgres, but all the sqlite and litestream talk has been far too intriguing to ignore. "Wait", you say. "It is just a flat file. How much harder can it be?"

It is easy to make something harder than it should be. It is hard to take something complex and make it truly simple. flyctl launch does an amazing job at providing a simple interface to the utterly complex task of generating deployment resources, especially now that we are living in a containerd (erm, firecracker) world.

This gist is for anyone who, like me, thinks they know better than to read all of the documentation and therefore necessari
