I\'m trying to write router component for my react app. I\'m create new react class and define some routes in componentDidMount method. This is full method

The "unexpected token" error can show up for a number of different reasons. I ran into a similar problem, and in my case the problem was that the script tag to load the generated bundle in the html was like so:
<script src="scripts/app.js"></script>
When navigating to a route with a parameter (same thing will happen to a nested route or a route with more than one segment), browser would try to load the script using the wrong url. In my case the route path was 'user/:id', and the browser made a request to 'http://127.0.0.1:3000/user/scripts/app.js' instead of 'http://127.0.0.1:3000/scripts/app.js'. The solution was easy, change the script tag to this:
<script src="/scripts/app.js"></script>
Unexpected token "<" in this case comes from a nested path. Components that are in the nested are late to read.
This is the option that you can do:
<RealtyPage id={req.params.id}
If anyone else is having this problem, please check your devtools network tab for server responses. The reason behind the error message is that you are trying to load a javascript/json file and an html file was returned (possibly an error message).
HTML files start like this normally:
<!doctype html>
<html>
...
The browser sees the first < and gets confused because this is not valid JavaScript so prints out the error message:
SyntaxError: Unexpected token <
So in the above case, when the OP requested a wrong filename, he got an error page back (in HTML) which lead to that error.
Hope that helps someone else :)
Had the same error as well when using React-Router properties after adding the "/:uid" to edit relative path in my code:
<Route path="/edit/:uid" component={EditPage}/>
The problem was caused in my index.html where I load my main reference to my compiled javascript file bundle.js.
I switched:
<script src="./bundle.js"></script>
to
<script src="/bundle.js"></script>
And it immediately solved the problem.
do you have this into your package.json ?
"devDependencies": {
"@babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties": "^7.7.4",
"@babel/preset-react": "^7.0.0",
...
}
if yes -> do you have a .babelrc
file ?
if not :
add .babelrc
file to your root application. and paste it into :
{
"presets": ["@babel/preset-env", "@babel/preset-react"]
}
To finish installation : npm install
and npm run dev
