"SurviveJS - Webpack 5" has been built around a tutorial during which you develop a complex configuration while covering different facets of webpack. The 34 short chapters and six appendices work as a reference you can use while developing your web applications. The book has been written with webpack 5 in mind.

Even though the book has been designed around webpack, many of the techniques covered go beyond it. You will learn to improve the quality of your code while becoming aware of optimization techniques that help you to deliver more performant web applications.

The book was developed in collaboration with the webpack community, and its structure has evolved accordingly. A third of royalties go to Tobias Koppers, the author of the tool. The writer is a core developer of webpack so by purchasing this book you will support the effort in multiple ways.
