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 -- [email protected]:[your-user-name]/webpack-express.git --

cd into your new folder and run:

• npm install
• npm start to start the app
• this app runs on localhost:8080, but you can of course edit that in server.js
