Simple environment for playing with ES7 [SOLVED]

I want to start playing around with ES7 features (async/await in particular). I would like to create a new project that I can use to paste in many of the samples on the web, and step through them in the WebStorm debugger.

How should I set up my new project? (I tried a new empty project, but get this error...)

I'm using

WebStorm 2017.1.2

Build #WS-171.4249.40, built on April 25, 2017

Thanks!

Found an answer on my own. Big thanks to Dan Dascalescu at: https://medium.com/@dandv/using-es2016-es7-async-await-with-babel-e758bab1c4d5

  • Start with an empty project
  • Install babel and the async plugin (see his npm install... steps)
  • Set the Node interpreter to ... node_modules/babel_cli/babel-node.js (see the "Bonus-WebStorm Tip" at the end)
