An unofficial Webpack documentation

Webpack

This is a work in progress don't hesitate to contribute on the Github repository

This book is an unofficial documentation for Webpack with a learn by example approach.

Webpack is a great tool I have been using for some time and I love it!

Even though some of the best starter-kits use it, lots of people won't because they find the documentation obscure.

Webpack and it's documentation

Reading the Webpack documentation, I can see why some people think it's not worth it to start using Webpack, but it is!

The learning curve looks steep, but I believe with a more hands on approach, we can level it and make Webpack accessible to all.
