babel 6 async / await: Unexpected token

Question

Im having trouble getting async / await transforms working. What am I missing?

My .babelrc:

{
  \"presets\": [ \"es2015\", \"stage-0\" ]
}

It's recommended to upgrade to Babel 7 and use babel-env as opposed to stages (see here: https://github.com/babel/babel-upgrade).

There's a command you can use to upgrade accordingly:

npx babel-upgrade
