Missing class properties transform when Webpack presets:"env"

Question

I'm testing React project on webpack-dev-server. I want to use classfield syntax but got an error at state init.

client:162 ./src/containers/App.js
Module build failed (from ./node_modules/babel-loader/lib/index.js):
SyntaxError: Missing class properties transform.
2 | 
3 | class App extends Component {
4 |     state = {
  |     ^
5 |         count: 0
6 |     }
7 |     // constructor(props) {

I found solution that presets to be this "presets": ["es2015", "stage-0", "react"]. But I'm using "env" presets. I thought "env" presets support all babel-stages. Do I have to change presets?

App.js

class App extends Component {

state = {
    count: 0
}

render() {
    return (
      <div>
          <input defaultValue={this.state.count} />
      </div>
    );
  }
}

export default App;

Try this:

.babelrc

{
  "presets": ["env", "react", "stage-2"]
}

package.json

"devDependencies": {
  "babel-cli": "^6.26.0",
  "babel-core": "^6.26.3",
  "babel-loader": "^7.1.4",
  "babel-preset-env": "^1.7.0",
  "babel-preset-react": "^6.24.1",
  "babel-preset-stage-2": "^6.24.1",
  ...

When using the .babelrc file, in the webpack.config.js, we can simply config like this:

{
   test: /\.js$/,
   use: ['babel-loader']
}

Hopefully, that helps.
