How do I understand my Webpack configuration?

Webpack configuration can be complex, but it essentially defines how your project is built. What specific part are you struggling with?

I'm confused about the entry and output properties.

The 'entry' property specifies the starting point of your application, while 'output' defines where the bundled files will be saved. Do you have a specific example in your config?

Yes, I have an entry point set to './src/index.js'. What should my output look like?

Your output could look something like this:

output: {
  filename: 'bundle.js',
  path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist')
}

This will create a 'bundle.js' file in a 'dist' folder.

Got it! What about loaders?

Loaders in Webpack transform your files before they are bundled. For example, you can use Babel loader to transpile JavaScript. Would you like to know how to set one up?
