Inside the src folder create a new index.pug file and then create a simple layout inside it. Npm i -D pug pug-loader html-webpack-pluginĢ. pug module : read pug files pug-loader: returns the file’s content as template function so we can interpolate data in our template html-webpack-plugin: will get the index.pug file from src folder and using the other two loaders will emit a new index.html file in the dist folder.The first step is to install Pug in our project. It makes it easier to write HTML code and it’s cleaner too.

Pug is a template engine for Node that has a simplified syntax and compiles to HTML. Create a file: index.pug with some dummy data. Before adding Tailwind CSS to our project, we should install Pug.

Install pug, pug-loader, html-webpack-plugin.

Next let’s make webpack to read pug files and to load them in the distribution folder.

Even if we don’t need it for this short tutorial, it’s good to know how you can do it. With this, we defined an entry and output point for our application, the port for the development server and we created a simple boilerplate to figure it out whether we run the the webpack command in production or development mode. In order to do this differentiation between production and development, then we must write in the following way const path = require('path') const config = If we want to run the webpack command both in development mode and production mode using our scripts then we must create a separate config object with the common configuration and then based on the arguments of the webpack command we will add diferent rules.
