Dependency management > webpack

[shama]

It would be great to see webpack included. It is fantastic module bundler that combines the capabilities of many of the other module bundlers. Totally framework and package manager agnostic as well.

I've written about it here: http://dontkry.com/posts/code/single-page-modules-with-webpack.html

They are nearing a 1.0.0 release and I'll be helping out more with their docs. I'd love to help write a chapter about managing deps with webpack here.

Thanks!

@shama Mind if I assign you as the finalized author for this chapter? :)

[shama]

@addyosmani Absolutely. Also let me ping @sokra and @jhnns for more technical review. Thanks!

Cool! 👍

Watching the repo now 😄

[sokra]

Could you please use the correct spelling of webpack in the README.

• WebPACK -> http://www.xilinx.com/products/design-tools/ise-design-suite/ise-webpack.htm
• WebPack -> http://bitnami.com/stack/webpack, Host Europe WebPack
• webpack -> https://github.com/webpack/webpack

I don't want to conflict with them... ;)

[addyosmani]

Of course! We'll correct it asap :)

[addyosmani]

Awesome @shama! That would be ace. I've added you to the repo and assigned this to you :)

Here is a proposed outline:

• What is webpack?
• Installation
• Requiring Modules (AMD and CommonJS)
• Load Modules from Bower and Other Vendors (Defaults to npm and an agnostic web_modules folder)
• Using Loaders (Everything is a Module)
• Code Splitting
• Multi Entry Build
• Require Contexts
• Hot Module Replacement
• Chunk Optimization
• Writing Loaders & Plugins
• Use with Build Tools

Let me know if there are any other topics which would be important to include or exclude. Thanks!

• Code Splitting
• Multi entry build

After loaders

Added, thanks!

Just a friendly ping to see where we are on this :) Thanks again for volunteering to help out with this chapter!

[shama]

Thanks for the ping! I have a good lead on each section. Probably another week away from a PR.

@shama awesome! thanks for the update :)

Hey @shama. I know you're probably super-busy but I was wondering if you had a chance to get anywhere further with the chapter you were writing. If you think it might be a while until you can get back to it, perhaps it would make sense to PR your initial work and we can then build on it as time allows? Thanks again for getting involved! :)
