* Webpack Configuration | |
* | |
* Block: `02-basic-esnext` — The Webpack config file. | |
* | |
* Working of a Webpack can be very simple or complex. This is an intenally simple | |
* build configuration. | |
* | |
* Webpack basics — If you are new the Webpack here's all you need to know: | |
* 1. Webpack is a module bundler. It bundles different JS modules together. | |
* 2. It needs and entry point and an ouput to process file(s) and bundle them. | |
* 3. By default it only understands common JavaScript but you can make it | |
* understand other formats by way of adding a Webpack loader. | |
* 4. In the file below you will find an entry point, an ouput, and a babel-loader | |
* that tests all .js files excluding the ones in node_modules to process the | |
* ESNext and make it compatible with older browsers i.e. it converts the | |
* ESNext (new standards of JavaScript) into old JavaScript through a loader | |
* by Babel. | |
* | |
* Instructions: How to build or develop with this Webpack config: | |
* 1. In the command line browse the folder `02-basic-esnext` where | |
* this `webpack.config.js` file is present. | |
* 2. Run the `npm run dev` or `npm run build` for development or | |
* production respectively. | |
* 3. To read what these NPM Scripts do, read the `package.json` file. | |
