React code not compiling with webpack

My code wont compile for some reason. The weird thing is that is will work when I use the in browser interpreter.

<script src="https://unpkg.com/babel-standalone@6/babel.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/react@15/dist/react.js"></script>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/react-dom@15/dist/react-dom.min.js"></script>

React code:

var Cookies = require('cookies');

var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');


var name = document.getElementById('name').innerHTML;
//var name = req.user.name;

  var start = false;
  var Assets = React.createClass({
    getInitialState: function(){
      return({
        assets: [],
        secondsElapsed: 0
      });
    },
    tick: function() {
      //this.setState({secondsElapsed: this.state.secondsElapsed + 1});
      if(start === true){
        console.log(name);

        var myHeaders = new Headers();

        var token = new Cookies(req,res).get('access_token');

        myHeaders.append('acess_token', token);

        var myInit = { method: 'GET',
               headers: myHeaders};

        fetch('/api/user/all/?name='+name, myInit).then(function(data){
          return data.json();
        }).then( json => {
          this.setState({
              assets: json
            });
        });
    }
    },
    componentDidMount: function() {
      this.interval = setInterval(this.tick, 1000);
    },
    componentWillUnmount: function() {
      clearInterval(this.interval);
    },
    render: function(){
      var assets = this.state.assets;
      assets = assets.map(function(asseti,index){
        return(
          asseti.map(function(asset, index){
            return(
              <li key={index}>
                        <span className={asset.active}></span>
                        <span>{asset.name}</span>
                        <span >{asset.description}</span>
                        <span>{asset.location.coordinates[0]}{asset.location.coordinates[1]}</span>
              </li>
            )
          })
        )
      });
      return(
        <div>
          <form onSubmit={this.handleSubmit}>
            <input type="submit" value="Find assets" />
          </form>
          {assets}
        </div>
      );
    },
    handleSubmit: function(e){
      e.preventDefault();
      start = true;
    //  name = this.refs.name.value;

      fetch('/api/user/all/?name='+name).then(function(data){
        return data.json();
      }).then( json => {
        this.setState({
          assets: json
        });
      });
    }
  });

ReactDOM.render(<Assets />, document.getElementById('assets'));

Error:

You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type.

I figure I must be doing something dumb like missing something as it runs in browser which is weird. Does that gloss over some errors as it is interpreted as opposed to been compiled before been run?
