How to get this to work with ES6 babel-node

I realize that the README describes a node-dev.json file to set extension settings, but it is not clear to me how to get this to work with babel-node. Currently I’m running my server.js code with the command ./node_modules/.bin/babel-node server/. When I run the command with node-dev, node-dev server, I get the error Unexpected token import. My node-dev.json file is like so:

{
  "extensions": {
    "js": {
      "name": "babel/register"
    }
  }
}

Any suggestions would be very welcome!

After some playing around, looks like instead of requiringbabel-register setting this in my .node-dev.json did the trick:

{
  "extensions": {
    "js": {
      "name": "babel-core/register"
    }
  }
}

In addition to @amosyuen 's .node-dev.json, you might need a .babelrc in the same directory:

{
  "presets": ["stage-2"]
}

P.S. modules: false will lead to SyntaxError: Unexpected token import, so remove it!
