How do I configure Webpack for beginners?

Configuring Webpack can seem daunting, but I can help! Do you have a specific project in mind?

Yes, I'm trying to set up a simple JavaScript project.

Great! First, you'll need to install Webpack and Webpack CLI. You can do this using npm with the command: npm install --save-dev webpack webpack-cli.

What should I do after installing it?

Next, create a webpack.config.js file in your project root. This file will contain your configuration settings.

What basic settings should I include in that file?

Start with the entry point and output settings. For example:

module.exports = {
  entry: './src/index.js',
  output: {
    filename: 'bundle.js',
    path: __dirname + '/dist'
  }
};
