Notes

Backend Apps with Webpack

Webpack, even in this basic configuration, showed this warning message when run.

WARNING in ./node_modules/express/lib/view.js 81:13-25
Critical dependency: the request of a dependency is an expression
@ ./node_modules/express/lib/application.js
@ ./node_modules/express/lib/express.js
@ ./node_modules/express/index.js
@ ./src/server.js
@ ./src/index.js

The solution suggested by this issue was to use the package webpack-node-externals to avoid bundling node-modules. It's inspired by this article.
