How do I set up a build tool for my project?

To set up a build tool, first choose one that fits your project needs, like Maven, Gradle, or Webpack. Which one are you considering?

I'm thinking about using Webpack. What are the initial steps?

Great choice! First, install Webpack and Webpack CLI using npm. You can do this by running npm install --save-dev webpack webpack-cli.

What should I do after installing Webpack?

Next, create a webpack.config.js file in your project root. This file will define your entry and output points, as well as any loaders or plugins you need.

Can you give me an example of a simple Webpack configuration?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

const path = require('path');
module.exports = {
  entry: './src/index.js',
  output: {
    filename: 'bundle.js',
    path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'),
  },
};
