how to use parcel in node express js website

[xkeshav]

I have node js express web site for local. now today i want to build and it does not have any builder in my repo, so tries parcel but somehow it fail to build.

ealier what I have is node.js and express.js which render few pages on start of npm run start.

now according to parcel there should be a "source" key, tried but dient work then use. but it is giving babel error.

###package.json

  "name": "workshop",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "fun of colors",
  "main": "start.js",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "nodemon --watch . --exec babel-node -- start.js",
    "build": "parcel build index.js"
  },
  "author": "Keshav Mohta",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "@babel/core": "^7.21.4",
    "@babel/polyfill": "7.4.4",
    "@babel/register": "^7.15.3",
    "body-parser": "^1.20.2",
    "express": "^4.18.2"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@babel/cli": "^7.21.0",
    "@babel/node": "7.2.2",
    "@babel/preset-env": "7.4.4",
    "eslint": "5.16.0",
    "eslint-config-airbnb-base": "13.1.0",
    "eslint-plugin-import": "2.17.2",
    "nodemon": "^2.0.22",
    "parcel": "^2.8.3"
  }
}

.babelrc

        "presets": [ 
                 "@parcel/babel-preset-env", 
                 "@babel/preset-typescript", 
                 ["@babel/preset-react", { "runtime": "automatic" }] 
         ]

and when run npm run build it gives error

🚨 Build failed.
🚨 Build failed.

@parcel/transformer-babel: Cannot find package '@parcel/babel-preset-env' imported from D:\Developer\workshop\babel-virtual-resolve-base.js

here is the screenshot.

so my question is how to fix it and what changes I need to do in my code also make it work?

here is branch link

Thanks.

.babelrc

Do you literally mean that your babelrc is empty? Otherwise, if you've specified @parcel/babel-preset-env, then you also need to add that package as a regular npm dependency.
