[Documentation] How to use 5.x with Webpack config file?

[moderndeveloperllc]

I think it might be good to include information on how to use ES6 module imports (import {merge} from 'webpack-merge';) in a webpack.config.js file. Just trying to replace the old CommonJS require() doesn't work. From what I can see, you have to route the config file through Bable to change over the imports back to CommonJS.

Am I missing something here?

Available import types depend a lot on the environment. If you do webpack.config.babel.js, I recall it should try to use Babel. With webpack.config.ts, it would go through tsc.

I think I'll rewrite the imports to CommonJS style as that's the lowest common denominator. Thanks!

Included in 5.0.4.

@bebraw Thanks. I think it will cut down on the confusion with those of us who are relative Webpack/node neophytes.

Yup, agreed. Thanks for bringing this up. :)
