Support for the experimental syntax 'jsx' isn't currently enabled

I'm trying to run very simple code, but I'm getting an error, I didn't use the create react app!

It looks like my babel.config.js file is being ignored!

This is the structure of my small project: enter image description here

My html file

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>ReactJS</title>
</head>

<body>
    <div id="app"></div>
    <script  src = 'bundle.js' ></script>
</body> 

</html>

My index.js file:

import React from 'react';
import { render } from 'react-dom';

render(<h1>Hello World!!</h1>, document.getElementById('app'));

My package json:

{
  "name": "front",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "main": "index.js",
  "license": "MIT",
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "webpack-dev-server --mode development",
    "build": "webpack-dev-server --mode production"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "@babel/cli": "^7.10.5",
    "@babel/core": "^7.10.5",
    "@babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties": "^7.10.4",
    "@babel/preset-env": "^7.10.4",
    "@babel/preset-react": "^7.10.4",
    "react": "^16.13.1",
    "react-dom": "^16.13.1",
    "webpack": "^4.43.0",
    "webpack-cli": "^3.3.12",
    "webpack-dev-server": "^3.11.0"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@babel/plugin-transform-runtime": "^7.9.0",
    "babel-loader": "^8.1.0",
    "webpack-dev-server": "^3.10.3"
  }
}

My webpack.config.js

const path = require('path');

module.exports = {
    entry: path.resolve(__dirname, 'src', 'index.js'),
    output: {
        path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'public'),
        filename: 'bundle.js'
    },
    devServer: {
        contentBase: path.resolve(__dirname, 'public'),
    },
    module: {
        rules: [{
            test: /\.js$/,
            exclude: /node_modules/,
            use: {
                loader: 'babel-loader',
            }
        }]
    },
};

And this is my babel.config.js

module.exports = {
    "presets": ["@babel/preset-env", "@babel/preset-react"]

};

Error when

yarn webpack-dev-server --mode development

Add @babel/preset-react (https://git.io/JfeDR) to the 'presets' section of your Babel config to enable transformation.
If you want to leave it as-is, add @babel/plugin-syntax-jsx (https://git.io/vb4yA) to the 'plugins' section to enable parsing.

I'm using yarn and the WSL terminal

Solution

  • Just create a .babelrc file in the root of your project and add:

    {
  "presets": ["@babel/preset-env", "@babel/preset-react"]
}
