Code in app.js file

import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";

class HelloMessage extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        Hello {this.props.name}
      </div>
    );
  }
}
ReactDOM.render(
  <HelloMessage name="Taylor" />,
  document.getElementById('root')
);
   

Here my .babelrc file

{
    "presets":[
        "react",
        "es2015"
    ]
}

I have already install latest version of node.js

Thanks in Advance

• 1 Error message is telling you that you're using webpack -d without specifying an argument after -d. You can find a list of valid argument value here – JulianCDC Commented Oct 30, 2020 at 10:33
• Thank you very much i have added the value for devtool in webpack.config.js file but no luck....still facing the error – Nilesh Kulkarni Commented Oct 30, 2020 at 10:58

You have to specify devtool, either by using -d devtools or by putting

module.exports = {
    ...
    devtool: 'source-map'
    ...
};

in your webpack.config.js.

If you chose to change the webpack.config.js file you don't need the -d option, if you use -d you must specify an argument after or it will throw an error.

As the error message says, you're missing a value for the -d (--devtool) argument. You can find a list of valid values on this list. You can add this directly to your webpack config as follows:

module.exports = {
    ...
    devtool: 'source-map' // or any other valid value here
    ...
};

You only need to have a value for devtool in the config if you want to use a value, similarly you only need to use the -d argument in the CLI if you are going to pass a value through the CLI. If you don't want to use a devtool, remove it from your webpack config and change your dev script to webpack -w. However, for development, you'll likely want sourcemaps, so I'd remend using devtool: 'source-map' (you'll still want to change your dev script to webpack -w).
