So in this React Webpack setup tutorial, we’ll be creating a simple React component and demonstrating how this could be rendered in the browser by compiling all of the React and Sass code into a bundle that can be easily used in the browser.
You can obviously setup a React very quickly with other tools but an alternative to create-react-app and similar is to create your own configuration for React Webpack from scratch.
I’ll cover all the dependencies that are necessary to do this in the project and also we’ll look at how to create a React web pack production build so that you have production ready files that you could distribute to your hosting provider.
I will also cover how to have a React web pack SCSS configuration setup to handle you Sass files.
Before wrapping up, I’ll show you how you can add your own plugins and optimisations to your React webpack setup using plugins.

Awesome.After searching entire day I got the best webpack explaination. Thanks
Thank you! I've been going through tutorial after tutorial for the past 48 ish hours and wish I initially came across this.
Best tutorial ever I have encountered on this topic! I have been frustrated many nights but this tutorial within one hour laid everything bare for me. I can now take it from here. Thanks.
Cheers Paul! Glad it helped you out!
Clear and concise. Thank you!
Thank you very much! I think this is the best video on webpack so far 👍
Thanks very much for this tutorial. I am a react learner and this was by far a really good tutorial to get me up and using webpack. It seems like a lot of paid for tutorials have difficulties with webpack configurations. I wont name a couple I have done where everything comes to a halt because the tutorial is out of date for webapck configuration or not configured correctly. I really appreciated your tutorial and really appreciated your clear precise and concise explanations for the files and the code. This is my first time to your channel and I am now a subscriber and I will definitely watch your other videos. Thanks again.
Ah, thank you so much for your feedback George! Yes, that's the problem with some technologies - they get updated and become out of date so quickly. Glad you enjoyed the tutorial and glad to have you with us!
the way you talk through what you're doing is the best i've seen for youtube coding videos imo
Ah, thanks very much Michael - appreciate the feedback 😀
Thanks alot.. Very helpful!
best tutorial, thanks codebudd!
Everything crystal clear... awesome work❤️
Thank you very much 😀
Man seriously, thank you. You explain so well.
You're welcome 😀
Very helpful Thank you.
super useful! Thanks
Really cool. Thank you!
Thanks James! Exactly what I was looking for
Thanks Jade, glad it helped you out! Are you building anything exciting?
Thanks so much, this video is amazing!!
It's Christmas Eve and I'm going to have a shot for every time he says 'actual' or 'actually' 😵💫
Enjoy! 🍻
Thanks for creating this tutorial
No probs. Might be a bit out of date now...
man, what a clean explanation thanks buddy
Cheers Bruno 😀
Thank you very much! Your video helped me a lot!😆😆
awesome video! it's life saving, wish there could be more videos like this
Wow! Thanks Luca! Appreciate the feedback 👍
Excellent tutorial. Thank you
Glad it was helpful! What are you learning next?
Thank you for getting me started on webpack.
No problem Sunil, it can be quite confusing at first. Are you building something with React?
@@codewithbubb Yes I am learning React right now
Great Video
beautifully explained, thank you
Thanks very much!
Best video of webpack
amazing tutorial for starters. keep it up
Thank you.
I appreciate your effort! Thank you sir!
Cheers thankyou!
Thank you Sir. Really useful tutorial it was 😀
You're welcome 😀
Thanks, MAn!! Its working!! :)))
Love you bro :)
It works fine!
Thanks very much 👍
Amazing, thank you!
Thanks for your support!
Great Video.. Just wanted to add that webpack will run loader in reverse order . Sass-loader converts to css file , which css-loader with turns to javascript and then style-loader will add that to the link tag in our main html file.
best tuto, big thanks
No problem, glad you liked it 👍
thank you very much for this. was helpful. even though i had to do alot of googling to the webpack and webpack-dev-serve to work
Very well said! :) thank you
Cheers Mark!
Thank you for great tutorial ,
I would like to mention that the setting for jsx is not working (this will throw an error for the module is not found)
-webpack file need a :
resolve: { extensions: [".js", ".jsx"], }.
- instead of "watchBaseContet" at devServer I added hot: true , open: true
Thanks again :)
Thanks so much.
You're welcome 😀
Thank you so much
No problem, hope you found it useful.
absolutely fantastic tutorial. JS feels needlessly complex compared to Rails. I wish JS devs would bake in generators that were more flexible than CRA
Cheers! Appreciate your support!
First, congrats for the video, and thanks for your colab for our community!
I just have one question, how would I add this Br or Gzip technics on a existing project create by CRA? Is it possible? Would adding webpack.config.js file work? Thanks!
Where was this tutorial 2 weeks ago!!! Thanks...
Great video !
But I have a case need your advise:
When I make some javascript error, the page will show the error but when i solved it, the page doesn't hot reload and I need to run manual. What should I do to auto reload ?
Thank you! Can you please suggest any way, to serve this app without webpack-dev-server
I found your tutorial helpful, but I'm having trouble getting multiple different HTML pages to work. How would I change webpack config.js to accommodate multiple pages for my website?
At 3:45 you mentioned file-loader is used to import html to our overall output whereas I know that file-loader is used to resolve import/require of files like images. Wondering why you mentioned html import?
What about if application was created with 'npx create-react-app myApp', How to configure webpack config file if i got a new mac laptop, it logs on the browser 'bundle.js' not the actual file name ?
Great tutorial. It worked fine locally, but how do you deploy it - and run it - on, say Heroku.
Hi James, I started implemeting with this video. I'm getting error at 14:22, when we first do 'npm run serve', as instructed i installed dev-seerver-package also. in the end I'm getting error at "ReactDOM.render(, appElement)" line, saying "You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type, currently no loaders are configured to process this file.". but I configured as video suggested for JS files.
for me the property watchContentBase is unknown to the webpack-cli my version of webpack-cli is 4.9.2 what property replaces watchContentBase
If we run it locally, it make build slow as it makes first complete web pack , any way to make it fast to run locally, like normal npm start when we create a app and make a small change it loads immediately but in this case it take lot of time to run locally
Great tutorial! Do companies ever push the create-react-app to production? Or do they always build it out from scratch like this?
why to configure webpack like this? when we have webpack out of the box when creating app using creat-react-app
can you guys help me, I can't install webpack-dev-server. Loading bar never running when I type commad npm install webpack-dev-server or npm run serve and type Y to install webpack-dev-server.
Great video! I have a question, If I want to use styled-components, do I still need "style-loader" or "css-loader"?
Great question! I haven't used styled components much to be honest but as far as I know, it's just a JavaScript library so it shouldn't need to have any additional config in webpack. I saw this in their docs but it's just really for server-side rendering: styled-components.com/docs/tooling
@@codewithbubb Thanks!
Nice tutorial.
A small query, I am trying to update webpack-dev-server to “^4.7.3” but I am unable to start the application and ended up in some errors. Can you please help me with upgrading webpack-dev-server to “^4.7..3”
Thanks & Appreciate it
Error:
[Webpack-cli] failed to load webpack.config.js config
[Webpack-cli] referenceerror:_dirname Is not defined
I was getting this error while trying to run npm run serve
"options has an unknown property 'watchContentBase'. These properties are valid:"
Any idea?
devServer: {
port: 3000,
open: true,
hot: true,
},
replace watchContentBase with static if you get this error : "Invalid options object. Dev Server has been initialized using an options object that does not match the API schema."
Thank you for this tutorial, Can you please tell me how webpack with tailwind CSS,
You’re welcome.
Yes. Yes I can: How To Add Tailwind To a React app

Nice tutorial, very helpful.
I use HtmlWebpackPlugin, it will generate HTML file for us so that we don't need to manually add script or CSS into HTML file like the example. If we need something, it will add for us.
Same here. HTMLWebpackPlugin makes it easier to inject index.js into the index.html. Just in case I added, "inject: body".
can you please do a nextjs version of this please?
please help! getting this error.
[webpack-cli] Invalid configuration object. Webpack has been initialized using a configuration object that does not match the API schema.
- configuration has an unknown property 'Plugins'. These properties are valid:
object { amd?, bail?, cache?, context?, dependencies?, devServer?, devtool?, entry?, experiments?, externals?, externalsPresets?, externalsType?, ignoreWarnings?, infrastructureLogging?, loader?, mode?, module?, name?, node?, optimization?, output?, parallelism?, performance?, plugins?, profile?, recordsInputPath?, recordsOutputPath?, recordsPath?, resolve?, resolveLoader?, snapshot?, stats?, target?, watch?, watchOptions? }
-> Options object as provided by the user.
For typos: please correct them.
For loader options: webpack >= v2.0.0 no longer allows custom properties in configuration.
Loaders should be updated to allow passing options via loader options in module.rules.
Until loaders are updated one can use the LoaderOptionsPlugin to pass these options to the loader:
plugins: [
new webpack.LoaderOptionsPlugin({
// test: /\.xxx$/, // may apply this only for some modules
options: {
Plugins: …
}
})
]
For watchContentBase error
just takeout the entire property as it is already enabled by default in newer versions of webpack
devServer: {
port: 3010,
},
The webpack-cli gives an error 'watchContentBase' as an unknown option. Not sure how to solve this.
Hi, change it with this one `watchFiles: ['src/**/*', 'public/**/*']`. You probably have last version of webpack, that's why you have that error
thank you so much. i,m from russian federation and my english isn't perfect) but your video help me to understand
Great! Glad you found it useful!
file-loader is deprecated in webpack5. pls make a new video with webpack 5
Will this also work with react native ?
No idea! I would think not though.
this is a really good tutorial but i still cannot see anything on the webpage like in this example date was on the homepage .. my homepage comes blank .. i have checked the app.js file and everything still no luck .. the html page is loaded correctly and the bundle is also loaded but the bundle seams to be empty because no content is displayed on the screen .. can anyone help
Do you have any errors in your console?
I did everything the same, but keep getting this error:
ERROR in ./src/index.js
Module build failed (from ./node_modules/babel-loader/lib/index.js):
Error: Cannot find module '@babel/preset-env, @babel/preset-react'
Did you npm install @babel/preset-env @babel/preset-react ?
@@codewithbubb Thank you for your quick reply! Yes I did, but unfortunately the problem remains.
I did not find any solutions for that, I also tried out to utilise exactly the same versions from the mentioned packages that you did, but still did not resolve my issue:(
Whats wrong with using npx create-react-app ?
nothing but you may not want all the features that comes with the default webpack package. This allows you to use only what you need, resulting in a more efficient environment.
Cool tut. Thanks.
For webpack v5 slight update
devServer: {
static: {
directory: path.join(__dirname, 'public'),
},
compress: true,
port: ,
},
Npm run build ? Not working .sir please replay?
Sorry for the late reply. Did you install all the dependencies (i.e. npm install)? What error are you getting?
@@codewithbubb thank you for replay but error resolved
@@jayeshthanvi1115 Mind sharing your error / fix? I'm having Exit status 1 on webpack --mode production with 'npm run build' command but not sure why. Dependencies are all correct.
EDIT: Nvm, it was an issue within my webpack.config.js I believe.
Super super useful. Thank you!
sir please start Vue.Js Series its easy to learn ,,,,,,,,,,,,
Funny you should say that - I started learning it the other day!😀
@@codewithbubb 🙄😊
have a take home assignment for a job due next week... anyone here down to help me/tutor me through some questions? willing to pay!
What's the assignment?
@@codewithbubb i need to recreate a design from envision (im used to figma) but im new to webpack. this tutorial helped me ALOT but do you mind if i message u with a question or two?
also wtf. i never knew u could make a react app with just "npm install react" lol.... wayyy lighter tf
Yep, I guess you were using create-react-app before?
@@codewithbubb yeah lol so this does the same thing?
Also wondering if this method is better for web pack too or doesn’t matter
thanks man, this setup has been killing me! This tutorial ir perfect. My only thing is: under the module.exports, make sure it reads: output: {
path: path.join(__dirname, '/dist'),
filename: 'index.bundle.js',
},
devServer: {
port: 3000,
open: true,
hot: true,
},
Great, thanks for the feedback 👍
Finally this code i have added ""start": "cross-env BABEL_ENV=default webpack --watch"" in package.json file. otherwise error found.
Also install npm install cross-env
webpack is telling me 'watchContentBase' in an unknown property, was this property deprecated/replaced?
make sure that you have the following in your package json file under devDependencies. I installed the newest one and it gave me the error. Updating it to below worked for me!
"webpack-dev-server": "^3.11.2"
