I've been using webpack for a few months now but always using someone else's config. Today was the first project where I started from scratch with my own webpack config. Learnt a lot and it actually worked!

Worth the hassle? If you had to set up custom configuration on Day One would you give up?

Asking for a friend... a friend very near to me... who needs to learn webpack...

@coderme it seems to be the default these days. It looks like gulp has gone the way of bower.

The thing that threw me for a while was webpack is now v4 but some packages are only compatible with v3. Just to add another element of complexity...

@coderme by the way, this might help you, I mean, your friend learn webpack... https://laracasts.com/series/...

@chrisrhymes thanks, I will make sure to, uh, pass it on. :)

Gulp, really? I learned grunt only two years ago, and gulp last month, so why we moving on already? Urg. JS.
