Making your io.js command line apps compatible with node.js

This post has moved to my personal blog: http://maximilianschmitt.me/posts/iojs-command-line-apps-nodejs/

I had to change filenames with .js extension to make it work in Windows

This is extremely useful, thank you.

I'm a bit OCD and I didn't want to hard-code the name of my binary (here say-hello) in the harmony launcher, so here is slightly modified version that pull the module name from package.json:

#!/usr/bin/env node
'use strict';

var iojs  = require('is-iojs');

if (!iojs) {
  var pjson = require('./package.json');
  require('babel/register')({
    ignore: new RegExp(pjson.name + '/node_modules')
  });
}

require('./index.js');
