SyntaxError when running extract.js

[hbielenia]

Running this command:
node node_modules/vue-webpack-gettext/extract --output i18n/template.pot --src src

Gives me following error:

let finalAttrs = extractAttrs

SyntaxError: Block-scoped declarations (let, const, function, class) not yet supported outside strict mode

Node v4.8.4.

Hi there, this is caused by missing 'use strict'; and there are 2 ways you can get around it:

1. Recommended: Upgrade your node to later version - the stable version is v6.11.1 as of now (https://nodejs.org/en)
2. Add flag --use_strict to the command. It has been deprecated though.

NodeSource repo was giving me some problems and this is the newest version available from Debian's own repos. The second solution works well, though. Thanks!

Think it could be worthy to add this compatibility info to readme?

Thanks for the suggestion. However I will add this to the readme if there's more request :-)
