Support for the experimental syntax 'decorators' isn't currently enabled (8:3):

[bilalswiftsolutions]

I am trying to use @field in my react.js application. This application is bought theme from Themeforest. The error i am facing is this

ERROR in ./src/watermelon/model/Staff.js
Module build failed (from ./node_modules/babel-loader/lib/index.js):
SyntaxError: C:\projects\siloc-react-laravel\siloc-react\src\watermelon\model\Staff.js: Support for the experimental syntax 'decorators' isn't currently enabled (8:3):

   6 |
   7 |
>  8 |   @field('name') name;
     |   ^
   9 |   // @action async getStaff()
  10 |   // {
  11 |   //   return {

Add @babel/plugin-proposal-decorators (https://github.com/babel/babel/tree/main/packages/babel-plugin-proposal-decorators) to the 'plugins' section of your Babel config to enable transformation.

The file where i am using is this Staff.js

import { Model } from '@nozbe/watermelondb';
import { field } from '@nozbe/watermelondb/decorators';

export default class Staff extends Model {
  static table = 'staff';

  @field('name') name;
  // @action async getStaff()
  // {
  //   return {
  //     id: this.id,
  //     name: this.name
  //   }
  // }

}

The solution which i see on internet is to add these lines in .babelrc. But in my case these seems like configuration is done in package.json file because i have no .babelrc file

 "plugins": [
      [
        "@babel/plugin-proposal-decorators",
        {
          "legacy": true
        }
      ],
      [
        "@babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties",
        {
          "loose": true
        }
      ],
      [
        "@babel/plugin-transform-runtime",
        {
          "helpers": true,
          "regenerator": true
        }
      ]
    ]

This is my whole package.json file

i also getting same error

[Skullcan]

Maybe this is related? They deprecated the option "legacy": true and changed it to "version": "legacy"
