I have the following imports in my index.js file

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import 'core-js/fn/promise';

my webpack is set up as

var HTMLWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');
var HTMLWebpackPluginConfig = new HTMLWebpackPlugin({
    template: __dirname + '/app/index.html',
    filename: 'index.html',
    inject: 'body'
});

const ExtractTextPlugin = require("extract-text-webpack-plugin");

const extractSass = new ExtractTextPlugin({
    filename: "[name].[contenthash].css",
    disable: process.env.NODE_ENV === "development"
});

module.exports = {
    entry : __dirname + '/app/index.js',
    module: {
         rules: [
            {
                test: /\.js$/,
                exclude: /node_modules/,
                use: {
                    loader: 'babel-loader'
                }
            } ,
            {
                test: /\.scss$/,
                use: [{
                    loader: "style-loader"
                }, {
                    loader: "css-loader"
                }, {
                    loader: "sass-loader",
                }]
            }
        ],
    },
    output: {
        filename: 'transformed.js',
        path: __dirname + '/docs'

i have updated my webpack and babelrc to the following and it is working now.

.babelrc

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

webpack.config.js

module.exports = {
    entry : [__dirname + '/app/index.js'],
    module: {
         rules: [
            {
                test: /\.js$/,
                exclude: /node_modules/,
                use: {
                    loader: 'babel-loader'
                }
            } ,
            {
                test: /\.scss$/,
                use: [{
                    loader: "style-loader"
                }, {
                    loader: "css-loader"
                }, {
                    loader: "sass-loader",
                }]
            }
        ],
    },
    output: {
        filename: 'bundle.js',
        path: __dirname + '/docs'
    }
}
