Module not found: Error: Can't resolve './node_modules/react' in '/Users/<user-name>/Documents/gift-test/client'

So for my project (using React and Redux), I keep having errors of 'Module Not Found'. I've google'd & stackoverflow'd several solutions and have seen people say that there's something messed up with my node_modules so I've deleted them, and also npm install (reinstalled). The error still persists, and I think it has to do with my webpack.config.js file...

I simply just want the build to work properly and the react elements & components to render.
