Introduction

> This README reflects Webpack v2.x and v3.x. The Webpack v1.x documentation can be found here.

webpack is a bundler for modules. The main purpose is to bundle JavaScript files for usage in a browser, yet it is also capable of transforming, bundling, or packaging just about any resource or asset.

TL;DR

Bundles ES Modules, CommonJS and AMD modules (even combined).
Can create a single bundle or multiple chunks that are asynchronously loaded at runtime (to reduce initial loading time).
Dependencies are resolved during compilation, reducing the runtime size.
Loaders can preprocess files while compiling, e.g. TypeScript to JavaScript, Handlebars strings to compiled functions, images to Base64, etc.
Highly modular plugin system to do whatever else your application requires.

Concepts

Plugins

webpack has a rich plugin interface. Most of the features within webpack itself use this plugin interface. This makes webpack very flexible.

Name	Status	Description
common-chunks-webpack-plugin		Generates chunks of common modules shared between entry points and splits them into separate bundles (e.g vendor.bundle.js && app.bundle.js)
extract-text-webpack-plugin		Extracts Text (CSS) from your bundles into a separate file (app.bundle.css)
compression-webpack-plugin		Prepares compressed versions of assets to serve them with Content-Encoding
i18n-webpack-plugin		Adds i18n support to your bundles
html-webpack-plugin		Simplifies creation of HTML files (`index.html`) to serve your bundles

Loaders

webpack enables use of loaders to preprocess files. This allows you to bundle any static resource way beyond JavaScript. You can easily write your own loaders using Node.js.

Loaders are activated by using loadername! prefixes in require() statements, or are automatically applied via regex from your webpack configuration.

Files

Name	Status	Description
raw-loader		Loads raw content of a file (utf-8)
val-loader		Executes code as module and considers exports as JS code
url-loader		Works like the file loader, but can return a Data Url if the file is smaller than a limit
file-loader		Emits the file into the output folder and returns the (relative) url

JSON

Name	Status	Description
		Loads a JSON file (included by default)
		Loads and transpiles a JSON 5 file
		Loads and transpiles a CSON file

Transpiling
