[Webpack 2] Grouping vendor files with the Webpack Commonschunkplugin

Often, you have dependencies which your rarely change. In these cases, you can leverage the Commonschunkplugin-automatically put these modules in a separate bundled file so T Hey can cached and loaded separately from the rest of your code (leveraging the browser cache much more effectively).

The libaraies like ' Lodash ', ' jquery ' is required alomost all the projects and once download, and rarly change any more. So it would is a good idea to spreate those common libaries into a common vendor file.

  entry: {    './js/app.js',    vendor: ['lodash  'jquery'],  },

So rename the entry, add ' app ' and ' Vendor ' entries.

The output file canbe named like ' Bundle.app.js ' and ' bundle.vendor.js ':

  output: {    'bundle.[ Name].js',    'dist'),    true ,  },

We'll use the Webpack build in Commonschunkplugin:

  plugins: [    new  webpack.optimize.CommonsChunkPlugin ({      '  Vendor',    }),  = =!! P),

Now we can include those the bundle files into index.html:

    <src= "/bundle.vendor.js"></script>    <  src= "/bundle.app.js"></script>
