## What it is
A JavaScript library providing a chainable, fluent API for generating and modifying webpack 4 configuration objects. It simplifies sharing and mutating webpack configs across projects without manipulating raw config objects directly.

## Use cases
- generate webpack configuration with a fluent api
- modify webpack config programmatically
- share webpack configuration across projects
- avoid manipulating raw webpack config objects
- standardize webpack config modifications in build tooling

## When to choose
- you build tooling that generates or mutates webpack 4 configs
- you want named, reusable config fragments instead of deep object edits
- you use Neutrino or a similar framework built on webpack-chain

## When to avoid
- you use webpack 5, which this version does not target
- your webpack config is simple and a plain object suffices
- you prefer native webpack config or newer alternatives like vite
