Babel file is copied without being transformed

Question

I have this code:

\"use strict\";

import browserSync from \"browser-sync\";
import httpProxy from \"http-proxy\";

let proxy = httpProxy.createProxyServer({         


        

Answer 1

npm install --save-dev babel-preset-node5

npm install --save-dev babel-preset-react

...and then creating a .babelrc with the presets:

{
  "presets": [
    "node5",
    "react"
  ]
}

...resolved a very similar issue for me, with babel 3.8.6, and node v5.10.1
