TypeError: Class constructor Component cannot be invoked without 'new'

[maticzav]

Hi guys!
So I am getting this error, been busting my head over it all day, any thought?

Help, much appreciated 😄.

src/index.js

import {h, render, Component} from 'ink'

export default class extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <div>a</div>
    )
  }
}

demo.js

import {h, render} from 'ink'
import Route from './src/index'

// Router
const Demo = () => {
  return (
    <Route/>
  )
}

// Ink
render(<Demo/>)

.babelrc

    ["transform-object-rest-spread",

This is happening, because Babel's preset-es2015 transpiles ES6 classes. This is a very popular issue, I'd say - babel/babel#4269.

Solution would be to use presets that target more modern Node.js versions, for example - https://www.npmjs.com/package/babel-preset-es2015-node5.

It works now! Thank you so much!!

[vadimdemedes]

You're welcome :)

[mgrip]

if anyone stumbles upon this using the env preset like I was, you can set a more specific target to prevent babel from transpiling ES6 classes

.babelrc:

{
  "presets": [["env", { "targets": { "node": "current" } }]],
  "plugins": [
    [
      "transform-react-jsx",
      {
        "pragma": "h"
      }
    ]
  ]
}
