Configuring Webpack

npm install --save-dev webpack webpack-cli webpack-dev-server typescript ts-loader clean-webpack-plugin

• webpack - Plug in functionality to bundle and transform (minify) our code.
• ts-loader and typescript - Installed locally. TypeScript intalled locally means your project won't break if you use a globally different version. The TS Loader tells WebPack how to convert TS to JavaScript.
• webpack-dev-server - Use this to spin up a local server.
• clean-webpack-plugin - Clean up the dist folder completely before building.

Other Libraries
