I started to use Webpack for a student project, but I'm stuck configuring Webpack to include React and Babel. Here's my node packages :
+-- [email protected]
+-- [email protected]
+-- [email protected]
+-- [email protected]
+-- [email protected]
+-- [email protected]
`-- [email protected]
... And m'y webpack config file :
module.exports = {
entry: ['babel-polyfill', './src/index.jsx'],
output: {
path: './build',
filename: 'app.bundle.js'
},
module: {
loaders: [
{
test: /\.jsx?$/,
exclude: /node_modules/,
loader: 'babel-loader',
query: {
presets: ['es2015', 'react']
}
}
]
}
};
But the webpack
command show me this error :
ERROR in ./src/index.jsx
Module build failed: ReferenceError: [BABEL] C:\wamp\www\tripfighter\src\index.jsx: Unknown option: C:\wamp\www\tripfighter\node_modules\react\react.js.Children. Check out http://babeljs.io/docs/usage/options/ for more information about options.
A common cause of this error is the presence of a configuration options object without the corresponding preset name. Example:
Invalid:
`{ presets: [{option: value}] }`
Valid:
`{ presets: ['pluginName', {option: value}] }`
For more detailed information on preset configuration, please see http://babeljs.io/docs/plugins/#pluginpresets-options. (While processing preset: "C:\\wamp\\www\\tripfighter\\node_modules\\react\\react.js")

@ multi main
(There is my sample index.jsx file)
import 'babel-polyfill';
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
ReactDOM.render(
<h1>Hello, world!</h1>,
document.getElementById('root')
);
import cats from './cats.js';
console.log(cats);
So the problem seems to come from my webpack.config.js, but I don't know why, despite having searched from many examples on the web. Can you help me ? Thanks !
Your config is
presets: ['es2015', 'react']
but the only preset you've installed is
+-- [email protected]
So your answer is
npm install --save-dev babel-preset-react
FYI, Babel 7 (when it is released) gives a much clearer error message about this, so that will make life easier for these cases.
