Why are you using both rules and loaders? Use one or the other — Andrew Li

Modified my .babelrc code with the following and it solved it:

{
    "presets": [
      "env",
      "react",
      "stage-2"
    ]
}

    './app.js',
  ],
  output: {
    path: path.join(__dirname, 'www'),
    filename: 'bundle.js',
  },
  module: {
    loaders: [
      {
        test: /\.jsx?$/,
        exclude: /node_modules/,
        loader: 'babel-loader',
        query: {
          presets: [ 'react', 'es2015' ]
        }
      }
    ]
  },
  resolve: {
    modules: [
      path.join(__dirname, 'node_modules'),
    ],
