In this article, I'll show a simple way to start a webpack project with degit
degit
degit is a tool that lets you take another repository from GitHub and use it to scaffold your project. You can see it being used in serious projects such as SolidJS.
webpack-starter
Since I started working on this blog, I created more than 10 repositories with simple applications build with webpack. As I try keeping the code rather minimalistic, in most cases, all the projects end up almost the same. So today, I created a starter project to save me few seconds when starting new demo projects.
Usage
$ npx degit how-to-js/webpack-starter
npx: installed 1 in 0.671s
> cloned how-to-js/webpack-starter#HEAD
$ npm install

WARNING in configuration
The 'mode' option has not been set, webpack will fallback to 'production' for this value.
Set 'mode' option to 'development' or 'production' to enable defaults for each environment.
You can also set it to 'none' to disable any default behavior. Learn more: https://webpack.js.org/configuration/mode/
