ignore eslint error: 'import' and 'export' may only appear at the top level

Question

Is it possible to deactivate this error in eslint?

Parsing error: \'import\' and \'export\' may only appear at the top level

Answer 1

ESLint natively doesnt support this because this is against the spec. But if you use babel-eslint parser then inside your eslint config file you can do this:

{
  "parser": "babel-eslint",
  "parserOptions": {
    "sourceType": "module",
    "allowImportExportEverywhere": true
  }
}
