parsing error: unexpected token in javascript

When you encounter a "parsing error: unexpected token" in your JavaScript code, it usually means that there is a syntax error in your code which causes the JavaScript engine to fail to parse your code properly.

The first thing to do is to identify the line of code where the error occurred. Look at the error message in your console log, and it should give you a line number where the error occurred.

Once you've identified the line of code, the next step is to check for any obvious syntax errors. Common errors include missing or mismatched brackets, semicolons, or parenthesis.

If you're unable to identify the issue, then you can try using a tool like JSHint or ESLint to help identify and fix the error.

Here's an example of a syntax error that could cause a parsing error:

index.tsx
let x = 5;
if (x == 5) {
  console.log("x is equal to 5");
} else {
  console.log("x is not equal to 5");
106 chars
6 lines

In this example, the closing bracket for the if statement is missing. This would cause a parsing error and prevent the code from running properly. To fix this error, simply add the missing bracket:

index.tsx
let x = 5;
if (x == 5) {
  console.log("x is equal to 5");
} else {
  console.log("x is not equal to 5");
}
