You lose the simplicity of copy-pasting someone else's webpack config and then morphing it into something that works for your project.
There are tens of thousands of examples to choose from. For a makefile-based webpack, there are zero.
Unfortunately concerns like this matter.
- gkya 9y agoWhat does building a JS app take? Linting maybe, then concatenating files, minifying them. Then there should be some maintaining tasks, like updating dependencies, testing, deploying. Am I missing anything (serious question, I'm rather unfamiliar)?
- ino 9y agoMinifiers can remove dead and unaccessible code. They can also rename function and variable names with shorter ones, and compile code to be shorter (marginal gains since it's all going to be served compressed).
