I was just getting into react and trying it out for myself. After hours of configuring webpack just to get a hello world on my screen I thought I could get going now but after trying to render another component from a file the next problem.
My main file is app.js, which renders everything:
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import {Hello} from './hello';
ReactDOM.render(
<Hello/>,
document.getElementById('app')
);
The Hello component comes from my hello.js in the same folder:
import React from 'react';
class Hello extends React.Component{
render(){
return (
<h1>Hello, world!</h1>
)
}
}
export default Hello;
It was rendering fine when I was doing everything just in app.js without the import/export. It also compiles fine. But there are a lot of errors now in the console. So what am I missing?
Thanks

Because your export is default
you don't need braces around your import component name:
import Hello from './hello';
Here's a verbose technical article from Axel Rauschmayer on the final ES6 modules syntax that you might find useful.
And here's a slightly less techy post about the same topic.
