What's the equivalent of this import statement using require?

Question

I'm trying to convert a few files from using import to using require to avoid the need for Babel.

One import statement is like this:

import React, { Component } from 'react';

How can I convert it to a require statement? I've tried with this:

const React, { Component } = require('react');

but it says there's an error at the first comma so it doesn't seem to be a valid syntax. Any idea?

Basically you will need to do the following:

Either this syntax:

const React = require('react');
const { Component } = require('react').default;

Or this syntax:

const React = require('react');
const Component = React.Component;
