Webpack-CLI is the official command line interface for Webpack. It provides a flexible set of commands for developers to enhance speed when setting up a custom Webpack project. Webpack on its own doesn't expect a configuration file. However, developers often need to create custom configurations based on their use-cases and needs. Webpack-CLI addresses these needs by offering a set of tools to improve the setup of custom Webpack configuration.
To use Webpack-CLI, you will first need to install it. You can do this either with npm or with yarn. Here's how to install Webpack-CLI with npm:
npm install --save-dev webpack-cli
And with yarn:
yarn add webpack-cli --dev
Once installed, you can start using Webpack-CLI from your terminal. The basic structure of commands is npx webpack-cli [command] [options]. If no command is specified then bundle command is used by default. For example, to bundle your project you would run:
npx webpack-cli bundle
Webpack-CLI has many more commands and options available for use. Some of these include build, configtest, help, info, init, loader, plugin, serve, version, and watch. You can use the --help option to get more information on these commands and features.
The comprehensive documentation for Webpack-CLI can be found on the official Webpack website at https://webpack.js.org/api/cli/. In addition to the basics and how to use each command, the documentation also covers environment variables, exit codes, and a wide range of available options. With Webpack-CLI being such a substantial tool, you're encouraged to dive into the docs to maximize your use of it.
