React-native throwing unexpected token error on import statement

Question

React-native is throwing an unexpected token in a firebase import statement. I have been trying to fix this for a long time. I have already installed @react-native-firebase/auth with npm i install @react-native-firebase/auth . Please help. This is the error screenshot:

This is most probably happening because you cannot import as you did in your code.

As the documentation states for import :

The export parameters specify individual named exports, while the import * as name syntax imports all of them. Below are examples to clarify the syntax.

You need to put there an alias, if you need all of the exported objects from a library as the following:

import * as auth from '@react-native-firebase/auth';

I hope that helps!
