babel-register doesn't work for subsequent require statements
I'm building an isomorphic (universal) React.js app with Express.js. My server and client code share a Routes.jsx file employing ES2017 syntax and, well, JSX.
I understand babel-register should transpile this ; however, the following code generates an error when executed:
require('babel-register')({
presets: [
'es2017',
'react',
]
})
const routes = require('./Routes.jsx')
The first line of Routes.jsx is:
import React from 'react'
The error is:
(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { import React from 'react';
^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Unexpected token import
I am absolutely baffled at why this isn’t working. The correct babel modules are installed. Thanks for pointers!
The es2017 preset only includes newly added features for ES2017, so it will not include converting module syntax. Using `babel-preset-env is likely your easiest option.
