Error compiling React application

[itaisteinherz]

Describe the bug

While following the get started guide, when trying to compile the app at the end of step 4 using npm start I get the following error:

Failed to compile.

./node_modules/@aws-amplify/auth/lib/index.js
Module not found: Can't resolve '.../node_modules/babel-loader/lib/index.js' in '...'

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go through step 1-4 in the guide likes above
2. Run npm start
3. See error

Expected behavior

The app should get compiled without any issues. Note that I could also to npm install -D babel-loader on my end to fix this issue, but this doesn't originate from the app, but rather from the library itself.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: macOS 10.14 (Mojave)
• Browser: Safari (not that it's relevant here, since the issues happens in the command line)
• Version: 12.0 (14606.1.36.1.9)

Thanks @itaisteinherz

This seems to be a duplicate of #2460

Let me know if it is not to re-open this issue

[itaisteinherz]

@manueliglesias I don't think this is a duplicate of #2460 since the issue here doesn't seem to be related to the library's declaration files, but to it's Babel configuration (and it's package.json).
