My goal is to create a simple app and output one js standalone file and one css standalone file without using create-react-app.
I have two functional components like
const Card = () => {
  return(
    <div>test</div>
  )
}
export default Card;
My app.js file
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import Card from './Card';
ReactDOM.render(<Card />, document.getElementById('root'));
It looks like I need web pack so this is my web pack config file
const path = require("path");
module.exports = {
  entry:  "./src/app.js",
  output: {
    path: path.resolve(__dirname, "dist"),
    filename: "app.js"
  },
  resolve: {
    extensions: [".js"]
  },
  module: {
    rules: [
      { test: /\.js$/, exclude: /node_modules/, loader: "babel-loader" }
    ]
  }
};
I installed the following packages
"dependencies": {
    "react": "^16.13.1",
    "react-dom": "^16.13.1"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@babel/cli": "^7.8.4",
    "@babel/core": "^7.9.6",
    "@babel/preset-react": "^7.9.4",
    "babel-loader": "^8.1.0",
    "eslint": "^7.0.0",
    "eslint-config-google": "^0.14.0",
    "webpack": "^4.43.0",
    "webpack-cli": "^3.3.11"
  }
Running nix babel src/app.js throws an error
Unexpected token 
   | 
> 7 |   ReactDOM.render(<Card />, document.getElementById('root'))
    |                   ^
  8 | }
The goal here to generate one JS file and one CSS file and that is why I didn't use the create-react-app.
Searching on the inter web shows a lot of results like using react and babel from a CDN which I do not want to do.
how do I compile JSK to pure JS into one JS minify file?
Edit
I did follow the other questions and this is the error I get
Error: Plugin/Preset files are not allowed to export objects, only functions.
.babelrc file
{
  "presets": ["es2015", "stage-1", "react"]
 }
web pack.config.js
const path = require("path");
module.exports = {
  entry:  "./src/app.js",
  output: {
    path: path.resolve(__dirname, "dist"),
    filename: "app.js"
  },
  module: {
    loaders: [{
        test: /\.jsx?$/,
        loader: 'babel',
        query:
        {
            presets:['es2015', 'react']
        }
    }]
},
};
