Using React? First add some dependencies with npm:

        1
        $ npm install react react-dom prop-types --save
    

Enable react in your webpack.config.js:

        1
2
3
4
5
6
7
        // webpack.config.js
  // ...

  Encore
      // ...
+     .enableReactPreset()
  ;
    

Then restart Encore. When you do, it will give you a command you can run to install any missing dependencies. After running that command and restarting Encore, you're done!

Your .js and .jsx files will now be transformed through babel-preset-react.
