How to use webpack to ignore a module?

@lindsey.homenick 

To ignore a module in webpack, you can use the 'ignorePlugin' configuration. Here's how you can do it:

1. First, install the webpack plugin using npm:

1

npm install --save-dev webpack

1. In your webpack configuration file (usually named 'webpack.config.js'), add the following code:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9

const webpack = require('webpack');

module.exports = {
  // other webpack configuration options
  
  plugins: [
    new webpack.IgnorePlugin(/^module_name$/),
  ],
};

Replace 'module_name' with the name of the module you want to ignore. The '^' and '$' symbols are used to match the exact module name.

1. Save your webpack configuration file and run webpack to build your project:

1

webpack

Webpack will now ignore the specified module during the build process.
