I am trying to use Server-side-rendering in create-react-application but i have been getting the following error. I have tried to update the babel version and change the type : 'commonjs' in package.json but is of no use.
This is the link i have been refering to implement ssr in my project link A hands-on guide for a Server-Side Rendering React app
Must use import to load ES Module:/Users/*path/node_modules/@babel/runtime/helpers/esm/objectWithoutPropertiesLoose.js
require() of ES modules is not supported.
require() of /Users/*path/node_modules/@babel/runtime/helpers/esm/objectWithoutPropertiesLoose.js from /Users/Rajat/Desktop/ebullientech_ssr_example/ebullientech_io_reactjs/node_modules/react-spring/renderprops.js is an ES module file as it is a .js file whose nearest parent package.json contains "type": "module" which defines all .js files in that package scope as ES modules.
Instead rename objectWithoutPropertiesLoose.js to end in .cjs, change the requiring code to use import(), or remove "type": "module" from /Users/*path/node_modules/@babel/runtime/helpers/esm/package.json.
My server.js file is as follows
require("@babel/register")({
presets: ["@babel/preset-env", "@babel/preset-react"],
plugins: [
"@babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties",
[
"transform-assets",
{
extensions: ["css", "svg", "png"],
name: "static/media/[name].[hash:8].[ext]",
},
],
],
});
const React = require("react");
const ReactDOMServer = require("react-dom/server");
const App = require("../src/App").default;
const express = require("express");
const path = require("path");
const fs = require("fs");
const app = express();
app.get("/*", (req, res, next) => {
console.log(`Request URL = ${req.url}`);
if (req.url !== "/") {
return next();
}
const reactApp = ReactDOMServer.renderToString(React.createElement(App));
console.log(reactApp);
const indexFile = path.resolve("build/index.html");
fs.readFile(indexFile, "utf8", (err, data) => {
if (err) {
const errMsg = `There is an error: ${err}`;
console.error(errMsg);
return res.status(500).send(errMsg);
}
return res.send(
data.replace('<div id="root"></div>', `<div id="root">${reactApp}</div>`)
);
});
});
app.use(express.static(path.resolve(__dirname, "../build")));
app.listen(8080, () =>
console.log("Express server is running on localhost:8080")
);
My Package.json file is as follows:

I get a different error if i try to serve the server.js without nodemon i.e:
/Users/*path/src/App.js:1
import React from 'react';
^^^^^^
