The keyword 'interface' is reserved when using lerna

Question

I had a react project created using create-react-app which I am now trying to convert to a monorepo architecture. I moved all the independent code in one package, package1 and the rest of the code (along with App.tsx and index.tsx) in another, package2. Also I have added the dependency of package1 in package2.

However, when I try to do yarn start in the second package, I get this error:

Module parse failed: The keyword 'interface' is reserved (11:0) 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

What is it that I am doing wrong in the setup which is causing me this error?

Answer 1

It seems that it is related to tsconfig file.

so change jsx option in tsconfig.json from "preserve" to "react".
