The next-generation of javascript also known as ECMAScript 6 (also called ES6 or Harmony), is bringing us lots of amazing features that you probably will need to know, like:
- Modules
- Variables & scope
- Template strings
- Destructuring
- Classes
- Generators
- Promises
- Arrow functions
- Maps/Sets
- Iterator & iterable
First of all, Syntactic Sugar is a syntax that make a language easier to understand and more readable, it makes the language "sweeter" for us. It also means that some "new" features of ES6 are not really new because ES6 is trying to simplify the syntax to make things easier for us. So instead of writing the your code using the old tricky way, you'll be able to code in a the simpler way, with sugar syntax.

Santa started making a wish list app so that everyone can write down their Christmas wishes. He has not gotten very far on making it, so he needs your help!
You will find the app in src/wish-list-app. You can run it up by:
- run
npm startfrom this directory - navigate to
localhost:8090in your browser
Santa will also be happy if you can improve it for him. He did not use ES 2015, so he was hoping you at least could update the existing functionality.
More details can be found in the Readme.md in the app root directory.
You need to fix the app so that you can write down your wishes for Christmas, or else it will only be socks for you :/
