The goal of this repo is be an example of a basic but functional app built on Express and Webpack.
If you want to follow along, start from branch 0-initial-setup. Each branch in this project is a step along the path to creating a fully functional webpack setup. In each branch, there will be a documentation file that lists out the steps taken in that branch (each step is also roughly a git commit if you look at the history) which you can use as a checklist when setting up your own projects.
We will cover:
- Webpack entry point
- Webpack output and dist folder
- Webpack Loaders
- Webpack Plugins
- Webpack Mode
- Tools for convenient Webpack development
Fork this repo, then clone the branch of your choice from your forked repo down to your computer:
git clone -- git@github.com:[your-user-name]/webpack-express.git --
cd into your new folder and run:
npm installnpm run buildto create dist foldernpm startto start the app- this app runs on localhost:8080, but you can of course edit that in server.js
