About webpack configuration

This package use webpack with simpliest configuration.

• You should place your source files to src folder in project directory. Includes styles, images, etc..
• src folder should contains index.html
• src folder should contains index.js (or index.ts if TypeScript is used) - it will be entry point to your app.
• If you want to use css files, you should add <link> tag to index.html. But you don't need add links for script files.
• If you want to use scss or sass pre-processor - you should import this files into your scripts, like import 'styles.scss';. But, if your scss/sass file and html have a same name (like index.html and index.scss), <link> tag will be added to html automatically, you don't need to use import in js (but you still need to add links to css manually).
• This configuration supports multi-page apps. You can add a few html files to your project, it will work. Make js file with the same name and in the same directory, and it will automatically used as entrypoint for this html page.
• When you run npm run build, project bundle will be created in dist directory.
