Add “babel-preset-react”
npm install babel-preset-react
and add “presets” option to babel-loader in your webpack.config.js
(or you can add it to your .babelrc or package.js: http://babeljs.io/docs/usage/babelrc/)
Here is an example webpack.config.js:
{
test: /\.jsx?$/, // Match both .js and .jsx files
exclude: /node_modules/,
loader: "babel",
query:
{
presets:['react']
}
}
Recently Babel 6 was released and there was a major change:
https://babeljs.io/blog/2015/10/29/6.0.0
If you are using react 0.14, you should use ReactDOM.render()
(from require('react-dom')
) instead of React.render()

UPDATE 2018
Rule.query has already been deprecated in favour of Rule.options. Usage in webpack 4 is as follows:
npm install babel-loader babel-preset-react
Then in your webpack configuration (as an entry in the module.rules array in the module.exports object)
{
test: /\.jsx?$/,
exclude: /node_modules/,
use: [
{
loader: 'babel-loader',
options: {
presets: ['react']
}
}
],
}
