A common challenge with combining `[chunkhash]` and Code Splitting is that the entry chunk includes the webpack runtime and with it the chunkhash mappings. This means it's always updated and the `[chunkhash]` is pretty useless, because this chunk won't be cached.

A very simple solution to this problem is to create another chunk which contains only the webpack runtime (including chunkhash map). This can be achieved with the `optimization.runtimeChunk` options. To avoid the additional request for another chunk, this pretty small chunk can be inlined into the HTML page.

The configuration required for this is:

* use `[chunkhash]` in `output.filename` (Note that this example doesn't do this because of the example generator infrastructure, but you should)
* use `[chunkhash]` in `output.chunkFilename` (Note that this example doesn't do this because of the example generator infrastructure, but you should)

# example.js

``` javascript
import vendor from "./vendor";
// some module
import("./async1");
import("./async2");
```

# vendor.js

``` javascript
// some vendor lib (should be in common chunk)
export default 123;
```

# webpack.config.js

``` javascript
var path = require("path");
module.exports = {
	// mode: "development || "production",
	entry: {
		main: "./example"
	},
	optimization: {
		runtimeChunk: true
	},
	output: {
		path: path.join(__dirname, "dist"),
		filename: "[name].[chunkhash].js",
		chunkFilename: "[name].[chunkhash].js"
	}
};
```
