const path = require("path"); module.exports = { mode: "production", entry: ["./index.js"], output: { path: path.join(__dirname, "dist"), filename: "bundle.js" }, module: { rules: [ { test: /\.js$/, exclude: /node_modules/ } ] } };

I've tried different variation and configs :

  • target: "node"

  • exclude: [path.resolve(__dirname, "node_modules")]

  • exclude: ["/node_modules"]

  • @lavor I usually use grunt, I'm new to webpack, so maybe I'm misunderstanding what webpack is actually bundling. When I look at my dist/bundle.js it looks like it is bundling in a ton of modules with my custom source files. Commented Sep 16, 2019 at 18:05
  • If you are preparing final application, you need in bundle all dependencies that you are importing in your source files, so yes they will be there (you can optionally extract them in separate bundle with webpack application, but it is still necessary for runnig you app). But if you are preparing library that will be used in another applications, you need to specify 3rd party libraries as externals (e.g., see link in previous comment), hence your library will contain only your sources.
