node.js - React app not working in Internet Explorer 11

Question

My react app is not working on Internet explorer 11. It is working fine on edge and chrome.

I have already created a lot of files and i do not think I can try npx create-react-app.( As pointed out in the other answers for similar questions)

I have included this in both my index.js file but it does not work.

import 'react-app-polyfill/ie11';

This is the error I am getting:

I have looked at the links and they ask to resolve a bracket error but there is no issue when I see the code.

This is my package.json file:

This worked for me.

Update the development array in package.json

    "development": [
      "ie 11",
      "last 1 chrome version",
      "last 1 firefox version",
      "last 1 safari version"
    ]
  }

Add the below code in index.js in the src folder

// These must be the first lines in src/index.js
import 'react-app-polyfill/ie11';
import 'react-app-polyfill/stable';

Then delete the node_modules folder and run

npm install

IE does not support a lot of ES6+ features by default. For more info, refer the create-react-app polyfill docs.
