Exclude react from webpack bundle

by

I had the same problem as you did. Was stuck for one night, found the answer, react-dom requires react/lib/ReactDOM, which still includes react in the bundle. Solution looks like this: 

externals: {
 'react': 'react', // Case matters here 
 'react-dom' : 'reactDOM' // Case matters here 
}

Then add react-dom to the script tag in your page.
