webpack: Load CSS files too from the JavaScript file (this uses the CSS loader for `.css` files).
$ webpack ${app-js} ${bundle-js} --module-bind '${css=css}'
try on your machine

This command is using webpack, a popular JavaScript module bundler, to bundle and build a JavaScript application.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • webpack is the command used to run webpack.
  • ${app-js} is the path to the entry point JavaScript file of your application. This file is typically where the main logic of your application resides.
  • ${bundle-js} is the desired path and file name for the output bundle that webpack will create. This bundle will contain all the required JavaScript modules for your application.
  • --module-bind is an option used to specify how webpack should handle different types of files/modules in your app.
  • '${css=css}' is the configuration for handling CSS files. In this case, it tells webpack to handle any import or require statements for CSS files by using the css-loader module.

So, when you run this command, webpack will start bundling your application, using the specified entry point file. It will process any import or require statements for CSS files using the css-loader module, and then output the bundled JavaScript code to the specified output file.

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.
