Webpack, a module bundler, is a powerful tool that helps you to develop complex web applications. "SurviveJS - Webpack" is meant for beginner to intermediate users of the tool that want to understand webpack better.

Web browsers consume HTML, CSS, jаvascript, and multimedia files. As a project grows, tracking all of these files and adapting them to different targets (e.g. browsers) becomes too complicated to manage without help. Webpack addresses these problems. Managing complexity is one of the fundamental issues of web development, and solving this problem well helps significantly.

"SurviveJS - Webpack 5" has been built around a tutorial during which you develop a complex configuration while covering different facets of Webpack. The 34 short chapters and six appendices work as a reference you can use while developing your web applications. The book has been written with Webpack 5 in mind.

Even though the book has been designed around Webpack, many of the techniques covered go beyond it. You will learn to improve the quality of your code while becoming aware of optimization techniques that help you to deliver more performant web applications.

The book was developed in collaboration with the webpack community, and its structure has evolved accordingly. A third of royalties go to Tobias Koppers, the author of the tool. The writer is a core developer of webpack so by purchasing this book you will support the effort in multiple ways.

What will you learn:
This book has been written to complement the official documentation of webpack and it helps you to get through the initial learning curve and go further. You will learn to develop a composable webpack configuration for both development and production purposes. Advanced techniques covered by the book allow you to get the most out of webpack.
