Importing PersistGate from redux-persist leads to "Super expression must either be null or a function, not undefined"

Question

I'm now currently using redux-persist for persistent data storage in my react-redux application. I have set it up according to the documentation. Persistent data storage seems ok, but when I import PersistGate from redux-persist/integration/react, it shows Uncaught TypeError: Super expression must either be null or a function, not undefined. Can someone help me with this?

Here is my index.js:

import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { Provider } from "react-redux";
import {createStore} from "redux";
import reducers from "./reducers";
import { persistStore, persistReducer } from 'redux-persist';
import storage from 'redux-persist/lib/storage';
import GG from './containers/gg';
import { PersistGate } from 'redux-persist/integration/react';

const persistConfig = {
  key: 'root',
  storage,
}

const persistedReducer = persistReducer(persistConfig, reducers);
let store = createStore(persistedReducer);
let persistor = persistStore(store);

ReactDOM.render(
  <Provider store={store}>
  <GG/>
  </Provider>,
  document.querySelector(".container")
);

}

Thanks for your attention.

This is a problem with your React version. Your React specified version(s), ^0.14.3, do not contain, React.PureComponent, the parent component that PersistGate uses. This causes the error because the superclass redux-persist is trying to extend, React.PureComponent, doesn't exist. This is because React.PureComponent was added to the React API in version 15.3. Upgrade your React version.
