I'm new to WebPack and got unexpected error about bundling a json data. I tried to use json-loader to bundle json, but got the same error there.

ERROR in ./src/index.js 6:7
Module parse failed: Unexpected token (6:7)
You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type, currently no loaders are configured to process this file. See https://webpack.js.org/concepts#loaders
| import data from './data/recipes.json';
| 
> render(<Menu recipes={data} />, document.getElementById('root'));

webpack 5.53.0 compiled with 1 error in 82 ms

./src/index.js

import React from 'react';
import { render} from 'react-dom';
import Menu from './components/Menu';
import data from './data/recipes.json';

render(<Menu recipes={data} />, document.getElementById('root'));

webpack.config.js

var path = require('path');

module.exports = {
  entry: './src/index.js',
  output: {
    path: path.join(__dirname, 'dist', 'assets'),
    filename: 'bundle.js'
  },
  module: {
    rules: [{ test: /\.js$/, exclude: /node_modules/, loader: 'babel-loader' }]
  }
};

    [
      "@babel/preset-react",
      {

UPDATES:

In 'webpack.config.js' file I tried to change 'loader' to 'use', same thing...

import ReactDOM from 'react-dom' and ReactDOM.render() also same thing...

CodePudding user response:

webpack.config.js was at the wrong place of a dir structure.
