Webpack config

'use strict';

var path = require('path');
var webpack = require('webpack');
var HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
  devtool: 'eval-source-map',
  entry: [
    'webpack-hot-middleware/client?reload=true',
    path.join(__dirname, 'src/app.jsx')
  ],
  resolve: {
    root: [
      path.resolve(__dirname, "src"),
    ],
    extensions: ['', '.js', '.jsx', '.css']
  },
  output: {
    path: path.join(__dirname, '/public/'),
    filename: '[name].js',
    publicPath: '/'
  },
  plugins: [
    new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
      template: 'src/index.tpl.html',
      inject: 'body',
      filename: 'index.html'
    }),
    new webpack.optimize.OccurenceOrderPlugin(),
    new webpack.HotModuleReplacementPlugin(),
    new webpack.NoErrorsPlugin(),
    new webpack.DefinePlugin({
      'process.env.NODE_ENV': JSON.stringify('development')
    })
  ],
  module: {
    loaders: [{
      test: /\.jsx?$/,
      exclude: /node_modules/,
      loader: 'babel',
      query: {
        presets: ['es2015', 'react']
      }
    }, {
      test: /\.css$/,
      loader: 'style!css'
    }]
  }
};

and dependencies

    "react": "^15.6.2",
    "react-addons-update": "^15.6.2",
    "react-bootstrap": "^1.0.0-beta.5",
    "react-dom": "^15.6.2",

    "sequelize": "^3.20.0",
    "sqlite3": "^4.0.6"

Google advises to upgrade to version 16 of the ract, but I do not think that this is the problem of the old version.

Answer 1

react-redux v6.0.0 uses the new context api provided by React and in order for it work, either you need to downgrade react-redux to v5.x.x or upgrade react and react-dom to v16.4 or above

If you are using yarn, you can run

yarn upgrade react react-dom

else with npm you can run

npm update react react-dom

You could also change the versions manually in package.json and run yarn install or npm install
