Spread syntax gives error when copying react component properties

Question

I'm using react and I'm trying to use the spread syntax. For some reason it doesn't work and it gives an error:

const { className, children, ...otherprops } = this.props;

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

You are getting Unexpected token because you are missing one babel preset, stage-0

With stage-0, it works

Without stage-0, it doesn't work

In order to add it, you have to

1º Install it

npm install --save-dev babel-preset-stage-0

2º Add it to .babelrc

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