  I’m evaluating your grid control (5.20172.359) via the NPM CommonJS package, and using it in a project that targets ES6 mode (set via tsconfig). This causes the import of a version of tslib that does not include the _extend helpers.

  I’ve created a custom Column that extends from WjFlexGridColumn. However, as the _extend helper is no long included by tslib, it throws an exception.

  Do you have plans to ship an ES6 version of your library that won’t suffer from these issues?

  Hi Jinder,

  While we I cannot provide an ETA for this implementation but I would like to inform you that our Dev Team is actively working on this and we should be able to implement this soon.

  Thanks,

  Thanks for your quick response. Angular 5 will ship with ES6 target support, so I imagine you’ll get a lot more requests for this pretty soon.

  Hi Jinder,
  
  The team is working on ES6.
  
  As per the developer,

  . _extend method is a part of Wijmo ES5 modules.
  
  To inherit WjFlexGridColumn in ES6 code user should write:
  
  class MyColumn extends WjFlexGridColumn {
  
  }

  Please elaborate requirement or provide sample or steps to replicate the issue at our end.
