“Unexpected token import” error in react-router-dom navlink dependency

Question

When I am trying to test the default test of create-react-app. It gave me an error of ES6 compilation of ES6 import. I don't have any transpiler like babel in my code. Do I need to use .babelrc to transpile the code?

FAIL src\\app\\App.test.js ● Test suite failed to run

C:\Users\ritesh\Desktop\AelerUI\aeler-web\node_modules\react-router-dom\es\NavLink.js:7
import React from "react";
^^^^^^

Did you use npm i before ? Maybe packages aren't donwloaded.
