@babel/eslint-parser does not have default parserOptions (but babel-eslint did)

Bug Report

I just tried out replacing babel-eslint with the @babel/eslint-parser, and the first thing I encountered were a few instances of the error:

Parsing error: ImportDeclaration should appear when the mode is ES6 and in the module context

After doing a little digging, I realized that I needed to set the parserOptions in my eslint config like this:

parserOptions: {
  "ecmaVersion": 6,
  "sourceType": "module",
  "ecmaFeatures": {
    "modules": true
  }
}

I’m filing this as a bug report because babel-eslint provides default parserOptions here but the new @babel/eslint-parser package does not.

I’d vote that either these defaults should be used for @babel/eslint-parser as well, or else there should be a very prominent message in the package’s README explaining that defaults are no longer provided (I bet that’d save more issues like this one being opened in the future 😃 )

Apologies for the delay on my end. I’ve verified this and located the source of the bug. Working on a PR right now.

Thanks for doing some detective work. Will take a look today or tomorrow so we can hopefully get this fixed ASAP.
