custom-config

-c ./path/to/webpack.config.js allows you to override some default configuration files. If you want to specify the entry point, for example, you can create your config with the following content:

module.exports = {
  entry: './custom_entry.js'
}

override/include loaders

it will merge loaders based on the test property (must be a string, e.g.: test: /\.less$/). If it can't find this test loader, it will be included as a new one.

module.exports = {
  module: {
    loaders: [
      {
        test: /\.scss$/,
        loaders: ['style', 'css?sourceMap', 'sass?sourceMap']
      }
    ]
  },
  plugins: [
    new ExtractTextPlugin('[hash].bundle.css', {
      allChunks: true
    })
  ]
}

add plugins

var AwesomePlugin = require('awesome-plugin')

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    new AwesomePlugin()
  ]
}

default-settings

• devtool: 'cheap-module-source-map' (merges with the custom webpack config file)
• entry an array of entries wich merges with the custom webpack config file. By default it includes webpack/hot/dev-server and webpack-dev-server/client?http://localhost:${port}/ (Hot is enabled by default)
• module.loaders are also merged. The default loaders are less and babel with es2015 preset

loaders

test: /\.less$/,
loader: 'style!css!less?strictMath'

test: /\.js$/,
loader: 'babel',
query: {
  presets: [
    require.resolve('babel-preset-es2015')
  ]
