This update clarifies how to configure Webpack entry points and output filenames.
- Added explanation for `entry` usage:
• Single entry file (`string`)
• Multiple entry files (`[string]`)
• Entry object with named chunks (`{ <entryChunkName>: string | [string] }`)
• Empty object (`{}`)
- Explained <entryChunkName> meaning and purpose
- Documented output filenames for different build modes:
• Production: "[name].[contenthash].bundle.js" (e.g., main.abc123.bundle.js, vendor.abc123.bundle.js)
• Development: "[name].bundle.js" (e.g., main.bundle.js, vendor.bundle.js)
Purpose: Provide clear guidance for developers configuring Webpack entries and output.
