Tests won't compile because library is published as ES6

See original GitHub issue

I am trying to run simple test case in TypeScript project but I am getting

> mocha
/myApp/node_modules/react-native-testing-library/src/index.js:2
import render from './render';
^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Unexpected token import

This means that you guys are publishing the project code in ES6 even though node_modules should be released as ES5.

Could you compile the library code to ES5 and republish that 😃

Feel free to fix it, this is an open source project and I didn’t say no to this kind of improvement 😃.

We mainly target React Native, where projects are released as source. Before you feed this lib to your TS compiler, you’ll need to run it through Babel with metro-react-native-babel-preset.

I think we could compile it to ES5 though, I’m happy to review and accept the PR with that change 😃
