Documentation needs to be fixed
The Getting Started guide is very misleading right at the beginning of one of the steps: http://alt.js.org/guide/actions/
Apparently, classes are not supported natively and only ES5 style works
This kind of unexpected result may put off some new users
If you run the exact code on the webpage (and there's not a whole lot to it), it returns:
TypeError: Class constructor LocationActions cannot be invoked without 'new'
at new ActionsGenerator (<path>/node_modules/alt/lib/index.js:187:72)
at Alt.createActions (<path>/node_modules/alt/lib/index.js:211:28)

It needs to say that the ES6 classes need to be transpiled into the ES5 format''
Granted that happens automatically in the build tools, but for first-timers, things appear broken (if we run them without transpiling)
I went through this issue going through the getting started guide and I don't know how to fix it
Hey @ankush17star
Thanks, I tried that but it's getting hung up on the line module.exports = alt.createActions(LocationActions); in LocationActions.js, throwing the error × TypeError: Class constructor LocationStore cannot be invoked without 'new'.
@fasterthan Can you share your code sample here please? I'll take a look and get back to you
I am still getting the below error though I am using babel to transpire.
TypeError: Class constructor TodoActions cannot be invoked without 'new'
