How to write arrow functions in es6 class?

Question

class ExampleClass{
   constructor(){
   }
   method1 = () =>{
       /* code
       */
   }
}

For the above code I get error

method1 = () => {`
        ^

SyntaxError: Unexpected token =

What are you trying to accomplish? Class methods can't be anonymous, how would you call them? What do you think the benefit of an arrow function is here? — Nathan K

You can do it inside the constructor, but using this.method1 = () => {} instead, but I dont know if that's the best choice. — dubonzi

There is no native support for class instance fields just yet. Your best option at the minute is to use a transpiler like Babel which does have support for this syntax.
