webpack.config.babel.js Unexpected token import

See original GitHub issue

i’d appretiate a double check in webpack.config.js. i’m not a seasoned webpacker and it seems it has this import / loader issues.

webpack.config.babel.js:1
(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { import fs from 'fs';
                                                              ^^^^^^

This .babelrc file will do it

{
  "presets": [
    ["es2015", {"modules": false}],
    "react",
    "stage-2"
  ],
  "plugins": [
    ["babel-root-import", {"rootPathSuffix": "src"}],
    ["transform-runtime", {"polyfill": false, "regenerator": true}]
  ]
}

this is what triggers it ["es2015", {"modules": false}]

Right, would be a webpack 2 thing. That’s why this project uses webpack 1 😛
