React, Getting error: Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined












0















I have a project where I use both react and node (express). When I link to react using src="https://unpkg.com/react@16/umd/react.development.js" etc.. I have no problem using react with JSX in the project, but when I try to import like this:



import React from "react";


I get the error: Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined
This kind of "handicaps" me since I want to use modules like axios etc..



I am not using any module bundler



Thanks for any help!

          Don't know if I fully understand the question but you seem to be using React.js from a cdn link. With no module bundler. So why are you importing it also? You've already "imported" React.js from your cdn link. =) No need to import it again. The import statement is when you use modules and import them like that with the ES6 syntax. If you want to do that use create-react-app instead.

          • As far as I know you have to use a module bundler like Webpack and also babel if your'e using ES6 syntax like above. Otherwise you have to load your modules by a link like you do with react.development.js
