I had an issue with importing the LitElement module into a Meteor project:
I'm starting a new test project with Meteor 1.7+ and am using LitElement for a few components.
I installed Meteor like so:
meteor create meteor-lithtml --release 1.7.1-beta.29 --bare
I installed like so:
meteor npm install --save @polymer/lit-element
My node_modules directory looks like so:
My package.json file:
{
"name": "myapp",
"private": true,
"scripts": {
"start": "meteor run"
},
"dependencies": {
"@babel/runtime": "^7.0.0-beta.56",
"@polymer/lit-element": "^0.5.2",
"@vaadin/router": "^1.0.0",
"meteor-node-stubs": "^0.4.1",
"redux": "^4.0.0"
},
"meteor": {
"mainModule": {
"client": "client/index.js",
"server": "server/index.js"
}
}
}
The typical way I see lit-element imported is not working...
Just adding an index.js file and importing the lit-element module generates errors. If I remove the import from the index.js file, the errors go away.
\\ client\index.js
import { LitElement, html } from '@polymer/lit-element';
The very first error:
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token {
modules.js?hash=182125a3fa97eaa24f6d313584ca593c3aed2103:984
Points to this location:
Expanding node_modules to look into this file:
Why am I getting the unexpected { token?
NOTE: I'm asking this question here just in case a Meteor user stumbles by with the same issue and needs help.
