A curated catalog of tips and tricks for using the Webpack module bundler, covering topics like minification, code splitting, vendor bundles, and source maps. It is a documentation-style reference targeting Webpack v3 and earlier.

Use cases

• reduce webpack bundle size
• split app and vendor code in webpack
• configure webpack source maps
• minify javascript with webpack production builds
• output multiple bundles in webpack
• investigate webpack bundle sizes
• make react and lodash bundles smaller

When to choose

• you are working with Webpack 1-3 and want practical configuration snippets
• you want a quick reference for common Webpack optimization patterns
• you are learning how code splitting and CommonsChunkPlugin work

When to avoid

• you use Webpack 4 or 5, where many APIs like CommonsChunkPlugin are deprecated
• you need official, up-to-date Webpack documentation
• you need a runnable tool rather than a written guide
