Babel conflict with express-react-views

[robincsamuel]

I'm using express-react-views as the view engine for my express app, which uses babel.

The app is breaking when I require email-templates. I didn't even instantiate the class, but just require('email-templtes)`

Error: Cannot find module 'babel-core'

Seems like an issue with a package or configuration of Babel / your project specifically.

Why not just use Lad?

Yeah, it’s a problem with express-react-views, which does babel/register.

Thanks!
