For anyone using TypeScript to build your Node.js code, you can now switch your target to es6&#x2F;es2015 in your tsconfig.json:<p><pre><code>    {
        &quot;compilerOptions&quot;: {
            &quot;target&quot;: &quot;es2015&quot;,
            &quot;module&quot;: &quot;commonjs&quot;
        }
    }
</code></pre>
Assuming you&#x27;re not using that 7% (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;node.green&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;node.green&#x2F;</a>) :)<p>Just make sure to update your package.json to take a hard dependency on Node 6+ if you do that:<p><pre><code>    { &quot;engines&quot; : { &quot;node&quot; : &quot;&gt;=6.0.0&quot; } }
</code></pre>
This will make it so that ES6-compat is assumed and TS won&#x27;t transpile ES6 functionality, but it will use commonjs for modules, which means your TS will almost be a 1:1 mapping with the compiled JS and everything should just work.
