ignore eslint error: 'import' and 'export' may only appear at the top level

Question

Is it possible to deactivate this error in eslint?

Parsing error: 'import' and 'export' may only appear at the top level 

Answer 1

ESLint natively doesnt support this because this is against the spec. But if you use babel-eslint parser then inside your eslint config file you can do this:

{   "parser": "babel-eslint",   "parserOptions": {     "sourceType": "module",     "allowImportExportEverywhere": true   } }
