Thanks @johno it worked! Your a life saver!

Here’s some feedback on the new docs…

The last sentence in the docs says to run this command

npm install --save-dev @babel/env @babel/react @babel/proposal-object-rest-spread

but some of those packages don’t exist.

it worked when i ran this instead…

npm install --save-dev @babel/preset-env @babel/preset-react @babel/plugin-proposal-object-rest-spread

Home that helps!!

Thank you for the feedback @kjgraham! I’ll amend the docs.
