    Use Webpack to manage app-like JavaScript modules in Rails

  • There is an option to use Shakapacker

  • webpack-manifest-plugin

    webpack plugin for generating asset manifests

  • Webpacker uses webpack-assets-manifest to create manifest.json, which is then delivered to View helper in Rails.

  • webpack-dev-server

    Serves a webpack app. Updates the browser on changes. Documentation https://webpack.js.org/configuration/dev-server/.

  • Webpacker also includes webpack-dev-server, so we made it work as well. Since I had Simpacker installed, I only had to change the devServer part in webpack.config.js to make it work with npm scripts.

  • webpack

    A bundler for javascript and friends. Packs many modules into a few bundled assets. Code Splitting allows for loading parts of the application on demand. Through "loaders", modules can be CommonJs, AMD, ES6 modules, CSS, Images, JSON, Coffeescript, LESS, ... and your custom stuff.

  • This article is replace Webpacker with Simpacker and webpack.
