I keep facing an issue where I have to restart the webpack server every time I try to pass or update props values from parent to child components. It's frustrating that the props values are not updating even after saving the file.
Take a look at my package.json file
{
"name": "react-hooks",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {
"start": "webpack-dev-server .",
"build": "Webpack .",
"test": "test"
},
"author": "Rasith",
"license": "MIT",
"devDependencies": {
"@babel/cli": "^7.17.10",
"@babel/core": "^7.17.10",
"@babel/plugin-transform-runtime": "^7.17.10",
"@babel/preset-env": "^7.17.10",
"@babel/preset-react": "^7.16.7",
"@babel/runtime": "^7.17.9",
"babel-eslint": "^10.1.0",
"babel-loader": "^8.2.5",
"webpack": "^5.72.1",
"webpack-cli": "^4.9.2",
"webpack-dev-server": "^4.9.0"
},
"dependencies": {
"axios": "^0.27.2",
"react": "^18.1.0",
"react-dom": "^18.1.0"
}
}
This is the content of my webpack.config.js file
const path = require("path");
module.exports={
mode: "development",
entry: "./index.js",
output: {
path: path.resolve(__dirname, "public"),
filename: "main.js"
},
target: "web",
devServer: {
port: "9500",
static: ["./public"],
open: true,
hot: true ,
liveReload: true
},
resolve: {
extensions: ['.js','.jsx','.json']
},
module:{
rules: [
{
test: /\.(js|jsx)$/,
exclude: /node_modules/,
use: 'babel-loader'
}
]
}
}
Next, let's check the babel.rc file
{
"presets": [
"@babel/preset-env", //compiling ES2015+ syntax
"@babel/preset-react" //for react
],
"plugins": [
"@babel/plugin-transform-runtime"
]
}
I seem to be missing some dependencies or modules in these files. Any suggestions on what might be causing this issue? Appreciate any help from fellow developers. Thank you!
