can someone help me to understand what is wrong on this:

var foo = {
  bar: 1,
  baz: 2
};

var { bar, baz } = foo;

I got error SyntaxError: Unexpected token {. I'm using node v5.4.1 So I'm not sure if problem is in node or in syntax. For example let works well. Many thanks

Node does not yet support all ES6 specifications. Destructuring is not supported as mentioned here https://kangax.github.io/compat-table/es6/

You need to pass by a transpiler like Babel to be able to use it.

  • Thanks for answer, I'm using babel, but nothing changed: `require("babel-core").transform("code", {"presets": ["es2015"]});` – John Feb 02 '16 at 14:28
