Webpack Boilerplate is a starter project for building modern front-end applications with webpack 5. It combines Babel, Sass, and PostCSS in a preconfigured development environment. A local webpack development server provides rapid browser testing during active work. Production builds bundle application assets, extract CSS into separate files, and optimize generated stylesheets. Development and production configuration can be separated and merged through dedicated webpack configuration files. ESLint and Prettier help enforce consistent JavaScript formatting and coding standards. The template also includes HTML generation, static file copying, build-directory cleanup, and cross-platform environment configuration.
