Fragments giving Unexpected token error in React 16.2

Question

I have the following component that renders a series of components. However, I downloaded React 16.2 and tried to use fragments instead of divs, but I get the following error:

Error in ./src/containers/answers.js
Syntax error: Unexpected token (24:5)

  22 |     
  23 | return (
> 24 |     <>
     |      ^
  25 |       {AnswersCard}
  26 |     </>
  27 |    )

Why am I getting this error when fragments are supposed to be able to replace divs in React 16.2?

  question ? 
    AnswersCard = ( question.answers.sort(function(a,b) { return (a.count < b.count) ? 1 : ((b.count > a.count) ? -1 : 0)} 
    ).map(answer =>  
    <Answer key={answer.id} answer={answer} questionId={question.id} />
    )) : AnswersCard = ( <p>Loading...</p> )

return (
    <>
      {AnswersCard}
    </>
   )
  }
}

As per the documentation , the syntax <></> is not supported by all tools and they encourage you to use <React.Fragment> instead

Check this documentation on Support for Fragment syntax
