Import React from 'react' results in Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier

It is not working because it is not translating es6, so import statement is not working, Yo need to babel-preset-es2015

and configure it .babelrc

{
    "presets":[
        "es2015", "react"
    ]
}

Try this : transform-es2015-modules-amd , This plugin transforms ES2015 modules to Asynchronous Module Definition (AMD).

{
    presets: ["env", "react"],
    plugins: ["transform-es2015-modules-amd"]
 }
