SyntaxError: Unexpected token < #129

Closed max8hine closed 6 years ago

max8hine commented 6 years ago

My code run into SyntaxErro: Unexpected Toeken < when there is a parent component.

I just did really simple example Default.jsx which wraps Index.jsx and couldn't fund out which part goes wrong.

-- Env -- react@16.0.0 (under Project's peerDependency) react-dom@16.0.0 (under Project's peerDependency) (React@16.2.0 got same issue)

If parent Component only returns Javascript, not HTML, works fine. If without require parent component, works fine.

The babel transform we do at runtime only happens for the views directory (https://github.com/max8hine/expressApp/blob/master/app.js#L18). Anything outside of that will need to be pre-transformed (eg npm dependencies). If you want our transform running on other code it will need to be in the views dir.

Hooray, it works. It was my fault b/c the documents explained it clearly.
