Webpack 4 - Released

Webpack now has zero-configuration modes and is significantly faster.

Webpack 4: released today!!✨ Codename: Legato Today we’re happy to announce that webpack 4 is available today!

$> yarn add webpack webpack-cli -dev

or

$> npm i webpack webpack-cli -save-dev

Webpack bundles our entire frontend app together, without gaps.
