Hi,

So, I’m unable to get past step 4 on this project… I’m met with the following issue when trying to npm start -

Failed to compile
./src/App.js
SyntaxError: E:\WORK STUFF\CodeAcademy\React projects\adopt-a-pet-starter\src\App.js: Unexpected token (6:47)

4 | import PetDetailsNotFound from ‘./pages/petDetailsNotFound’;
5 | import Navigation from ‘./components/navigation’;

6 | import { BrowserRouter as Router, Route } from react-router-dom;
| ^
7 |
8 | function App() {
9 | return (
at parser.next ()
at normalizeFile.next ()
at run.next ()
at transform.next ()
Blockquote

I’m not sure if this is because this project uses an older version of React Router or what, but as far as I know, using import { BrowserRouter as Router, Route } from react-router-dom; is the correct way to import the React Router library…

When getting help please format code correctly and share a link to full code so we can see entire project and are better able to help.

In this situation, take a look at your import statements. Can you see there is something different about your imports on line 4&5 compared to on line 6?

The location of the import should be quotation marks 'react-router-dom' .

FYI there is also a dedicated thread for this project, where you can look at other’s code examples Adopt a Pet! Off-Platform Practice Project
