[SOLVED] Uncaught Reference Error: React not defined

So, I wasn't able to finish getting webpack on the scoreboard app. An error in devTools console shows the following

Uncaught ReferenceError: React is not defined
    at Object.<anonymous> (bundle.js:9780)
    at __webpack_require__ (bundle.js:20)
    at module.exports (bundle.js:63)
    at bundle.js:66

on bundle.js line 9780

Does this sound familar to anyone? Have I missed a dependency when setting things up?

I realised I'd incorrectly used the ES2016 import statement for react, so having fixed that the app started to work. :)

//libs
import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
