Failed to compile. I am following the video and still getting this: Failed to compile

Failed to compile ./src/components/SearchForm.js Line 22:16: 'App' is not defined no-undef

Search for the keywords to learn more about each error.

This is the area I keep getting and I dont see what I am missing please help.

import React from 'react';
import {
    Form,
    FormGroup,
    FormControl,
    Button
}   from 'react-bootstrap';

const Searchorm = () => (
  <Form inline>
    <FormGroup controlId="formInlineEmail">
      <FormControl type="search" placeholder="enter something..." />
    </FormGroup>
    {' '}
    <Button type="submit">
      search
    </Button>
  </Form>

);

export default App;
```JavaScript

To me, it looks like he didn't show that you have to wrap the form in a return statement like so:

const SearchForm = () => {
  return (
    <Form inline>
      <FormGroup controlId="formInlineEmail">
        <FormControl type="search" placeholder="enter something..." />
      </FormGroup>{" "}
      <Button type="submit">search</Button>
    </Form>
  );
};

This ended up resolving the issue for me.

Looks like your exporting app even though you've declared searchorm as the component name.

Try changing the export to export default searchorm (BTW you also have a typo searchform)

Hope it helps...
