I'm trying to use babel to run my NodeJS program, which includes ES6 syntax and exports from the Colyseus library. However, when I run the command:
babel-node server.js
The following error message appears:
export class MyRoom extends colyseus.Room {
^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Unexpected token export
Below is my package.json file:
{
"name": "app",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "a description",
"main": "server.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "babel-node server.js",

Below is my server.js file:
var colyseus = require("colyseus");
var http = require("http");
var express = require("express");
var port = process.env.port || 3000;
var app = express();
app.use(express.static("public", { dotfiles: 'allow' }));
var gameServer = new colyseus.Server({
server: http.createServer(app)
});
export class MyRoom extends colyseus.Room {
// When room is initialized
onInit (options) { }
}
gameServer.listen(port);
