v1.3 is written with ES6 and no longer compiles in a "standard" Rails 4 app

It's somewhat OK, but I think it's worth mentioning in changelog and readme files. I spent quite some time debugging it after gem update. The error wasn't that straightforward:

ExecJS::RuntimeError: SyntaxError: Unexpected token: name (PerformanceBar) (line: 358, col: 6, pos: 12943)

And just a suggestion: please reverse the order in your changelog files across all peek gems. A common practice suggests that versions should go in descending order. Then the most recent changes are always at the top which is much more convenient. Examples: https://github.com/rails/webpacker/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md https://github.com/rspec/rspec-core/blob/master/Changelog.md https://github.com/thoughtbot/factory_bot_rails/blob/master/NEWS https://github.com/mperham/sidekiq/blob/master/Changes.md https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

Anyway, thank you for peek, it's awesome and we use it everyday. Let me know if I can help with any of these issues I mentioned above.

Just had this error right now. Worked well in development but gave me an error as I was deploying. I wonder if there's any gem that could take care of this?

@svyatov did you found a workaround, or did you just downgrade?

For a standard Rails 5 app this can be remedied by editing config/environments/production.rb and replacing

config.assets.js_compressor = :uglifier

with

config.assets.js_compressor = Uglifier.new(harmony: true)
