I am new to React and Webpack. I am setting up my first project, when I try to run the webpack-dev-server my code does not compile!
Update
Answer below is correct. I needed to add 'react' to babel loader presets. You can see the full source for project here: https://github.com/cleechtech/redux-todo
Error:

console.log(ReactDOM);
ReactDOM.render(<App />,document.getElementById('root'));
src/index.js:
var react = require('react');
var ReactDOM = require('react-dom');
var App = require('./components/App');
console.log(ReactDOM);
ReactDOM.render(<App />,document.getElementById('root'));
src/components/App.js
var React = require('react');
var App = React.createClass({
render: function() {
return (
<div>
<h1>I am app!</h1>
</div>
);
}
});
console.log(App);
module.exports = App;
dist/index.html
<!doctype html>
<head>
<title>Redux todo</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello world</h1>
<div id='root'></div>
<script src='bundle.js'></script>
</body>
And finally here is my webpack config and package.json:
module.exports = {
// starting point
entry: [
'./src/index.js'
],
module: {
loaders: [
{
test: /.js?$/,
exclude: /(node_modules|bower_components)/,
loader: 'babel', // 'babel-loader' is also a legal name to reference
query: {
presets: ['es2015']
}
}
]
},
resolve: {
extensions: ['', '.js', '.jsx']
},
// create bundle.js file
output: {
path: __dirname + '/dist',
publicPath: '/',
filename: 'bundle.js'
},
devServer: {
contentBase: './dist'
}
};
package.json
