React JS with ES6 support is not working

Question

Hi there,

I spent more than 2 days to figure out what is going on with Red squabbling issue in visual studio.

I am trying to fix JSX harmony issue in visual studio 2015. I modified the file extension to be .JSX and .ES6 in case that would help VS pick up on it. No luck...

If I am not able to resolve in VS 2015, we need to move to WebStorm.

Your help will be much appreciated in advance. 

Thanks & Regards

Prem.

Hi boyapati,

Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.

I think you need to install the Web Compiler extension: https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/3b329021-cd7a-4a01-86fc-714c2d05bb6c

Compilation of LESS, Scss, JSX, ES6 and (Iced)CoffeeScript files.

Best Regards,

This is NOT the solution. The web compiler does not fix all of the parser errors in the editor. Please acknowledge this problem and provide a fix!!!!

Hi there,

As Visual studio did not have support of React JS, so we have moved to Webstorm. It  is working great for us.

Thanks

You are right. It is not a right solution. We do not create JavaScript files with JSX extension, so in this scenario, it does not know what we are trying to do...
