Learning Webpack

Just one of the things I'm learning. https://github.com/hchiam/learning

npm install webpack webpack-cli --save-dev
touch webpack.config.js

and then

webpack # or: npx webpack

creates a dist folder with bundled files.

• https://webpack.js.org
• https://webpack.js.org/guides/getting-started/
• Colt Steele's Webpack course repo: https://github.com/hchiam/webpack-demo-app
• (This repo was partially created using yo hchiam-learning)
• Remember that loaders run from the bottom up!
• And finally, here's a practical example walk-through of using Webpack: https://github.com/material-components/material-components-web/blob/master/docs/getting-started.md for using Material Design Components for the web.
• Tree shaking seems to be on by default, but you can turn it on with mode: "production", (note that there's even more you can do to optimize or mark files).
• Live reload with webpack-dev-server
