Using Babel in my NodeJSv4.1.1 code.

Got the require hook in:

require(babel-core/register);



$appRoot = __dirname;



module.exports = require(./lib/controllers/app);

In a subsequently lodaded .js file I am doing:

import { Strategy as LocalStrategy } from passport-local;

However this is generating the following error in the CLI:

import { Strategy as LocalStrategy } from passport-local;

^^^^^^



SyntaxError: Unexpected reserved word
