Build scripts are repeatable bits of code that you can execute via the command line. In the package.json file, learn how to set up build scripts to avoid typing long commands repeatedly.
- [Instructor] With this node_modules/.bin/webpack command…we've been running webpack…in kind of a convoluted way.…We've been actually going to the node modules folder…inside of the bin folder, and then we've been saying…run webpack, this executable here.…Now that's fine and everything,…but we can make our life a little bit easier…by setting up an NPM build script.…Where we want to start here is to open…the package JSON file, and then we should have…this test command here…that we're going to replace with a build command.…
So, the key should be build,…and then we're going to take this string…and replace it with webpack.…So we don't have to dig it…out of the node modules folder…because webpack is going to know…based on the presence of the webpack config file…that it should just run webpack…with those different configuration settings.…So let's give that a save and give it a shot.…So we'll delete that node module stuff,…and then we're going to try npm run build.…
So this is going to run webpack for us,…and it'll generate our bundle…
