webpack: Pass a config file (with e.g. the entry script and the output filename) and show compilation progress.
$ webpack --config ${webpack-config-js} --progress
try on your machine

This command is used to run the webpack bundler with a specific configuration file and display the progress of the bundling process.

Let's break down the command:

  • webpack: This is the command to execute the webpack bundler.
  • --config ${webpack-config-js}: This flag specifies the configuration file to use for the webpack bundling process. ${webpack-config-js} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the webpack configuration file. The configuration file (typically named webpack.config.js) contains settings and options for how webpack should build the project.
  • --progress: This flag enables the progress display during the bundling process. As webpack processes and bundles the project's files, it will output progress information to the console, keeping you updated on the status of the bundling process.
This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
