Watchify does not work

[cukejianya]

This command doesnt work anymore.

watchify -v -o build/js/NewsItemTest.js js/NewsItemTest.js

I get an:

Error: Parsing file /Users/Chinedum/Documents/Development/Mini-Projects/hackernews/js/newsItemTest.js: Unexpected token (11:15)

Here is my newsItemTest.js file:

var $ = require('jquery');
var NewsItem = require('./newsItem');
var React = require('react');

$.ajax({
  url: '/json/sample.json'
}).then(function (items) {
  // Log the data so we can inspect it in the developer console.
  console.log('items', items);
  // Use a fake rank for now.
  React.render(<NewsItem item={items[0]} rank={1}/>, $('#content')[0]);
});

Nevermind. I never added

"browserify":{
    "transform": [
      ["reactify"]
    ]
  },

to my package.json
