SyntaxError: Unexpected token { - Error while running protractor cucumber test

I am just trying to start with Protractor- Cucumber test setup and following is my basic setup that I did following some tutorials online. Thanks to the Samaritan who shared that.

The problem is that when I try to run it, I get the error - unexpected token for the imports. I have no clue as why its giving that. Any help is much appreciated.

Following are the versions of node etc I am using -

C:\Users\A>npm --version
6.4.1

C:\Users\A>node --version
v10.15.1

C:\Users\A>protractor --version
Version 5.4.2

Following is my feature file -

Feature: Go to the home
  Display the title

  Scenario: Home Page
    Given I am on the home page
    When I do nothing
    Then I should see the title

Following is my steps definition file -

import { AppPage } from '../pages/app.po';
import { Before, Given, When, Then } from 'cucumber';
import { expect } from 'chai';

let page: AppPage;

Before(() => {
  page = new AppPage();
});

Given(/^I am on the home page$/, async () => {
  await page.navigateTo();
});

When(/^I do nothing$/, () => {});

Then(/^I should see the title$/, async () => {
  expect(await page.getTitleText()).to.equal('Welcome to angular-cli-cucumber-demo!');
});

Following is my page objects file -

import { browser, by, element } from 'protractor';

export class AppPage {
  navigateTo() {
    return browser.get('/');
  }

  getTitleText() {
    return element(by.css('app-root h1')).getText();
  }
}

I am getting below error when I try running tests using command ng e2e -

Add following section to your protractor.conf.js

onPrepare() {
  require('ts-node').register({
    project: require('path').join(__dirname, './tsconfig.json')
  });
}

Try removing

steps definition

import { Before, Given, When, Then } from 'cucumber';
import { expect } from 'chai';

and page objects

import { browser, by, element } from 'protractor';

These imports should be completed by protractor automatically when it initializes.
