node.js – How to combine multiple node js file into a single bundle using webpack
I am trying to create a single bundle from multiple javascript file in a nodejs application.
The configuration I am using looks somewhat like this:
const path = require('path')
const nodeExternals = require('webpack-node-externals')
'use strict';
module.exports = {
externals: [nodeExternals({})],
entry: './lib/index.js',
output: {
iife: false,
path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'lib'),
filename: 'bundle.js', // <-- Important
},
target: 'node', // <-- Important
};
The problem is when I run bundle.js command
instead for it to do what the command says, i get the full source of the file streamed into the terminal.
It seems the file contains some sort of IIFE that gets executed immediately. I set iife: false
to false in the webpack configuration but that also did not make any difference.
Any ideas what could be wrong?
Edit:
I am calling webpack by adding:
bundle: webpack --config webpack.config.js
to script section in package.json
and then I run npm run bundle
