“babel” is read-only with react jsx

Question

I am importing babel to my jsx file like below. But i get error for Module build failed: SyntaxError: "babel" is read-only

var babel = require("babel-core");
import { transform } from 'babel-core';
import * as babel from 'babel-core';

Answer 1

I guess the error is because you are using same variable name babel .

var babel = require("babel-core");
import * as babel from 'babel-core';

Use different names and try again.
