Unexpected token `const`

[Luca Feiser]

Minifaction process fails with Unexpected token: keyword «const» if const is used in a file that is should be minified.

Example:

const url = "https://example.de";

Hello ( :
So, yeah I believe the problem is because of uglifyjs, since I am using it to minify the file.

UglifyJS does not support es6. const is an es6 declaration, so it throws an error.

No worries though, I'll find a different package to use instead of uglifyjs. If you have any recommendations for annpm package that minifies JS files, please let me know.

You can solve the issue temporarily using var instead of const. But I promise you won't need to, I'll fix the issue today ( :

Edit:

I will be using babel-minify instead.

I also tested it in Auto-Minify-Test/issues#5

Here's a screenshot of the commits ( :

Kindly let me know if there is anything else you'd want me to fix or add :D

By the way, I have been thinking of making it possible for users to pass their own "options" to the babel-minify and the clean-css commands being run. Let me know if that is something you are interested in so I work on adding it. If it isn't, so I don't waste time on it and work on something else.
