Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token export

Question

I have used create-react-app for my project. I am getting an error of

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token export

The error is in this code

export const ENGLISH = {
  lang: 'en',
  messages: {
      'nav.translatedMessage': 'Social',
  }
};

I tried installing babel-preset-es2015 and babel-preset-stage-0. Also i included the babel dict/object in package.json as

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

I am still getting an error.

Answer 1

I got my answer on README.md of create-react-app. There it says

You may create subdirectories inside src . For faster rebuilds, only files inside src are processed by Webpack.
You need to put any JS and CSS files inside src , or Webpack won't see them.

Answer 2

I think its because of the comma

export const ENGLISH = {
       lang: 'en',
       messages: {
           'nav.translatedMessage': 'Social'
       }
};

Try doing this !
