This example illustrates how common modules from deep ancestors of an entry point can be split into a separate common chunk - `pageA` and `pageB` are dynamically required - `pageC` and `pageA` both require the `reusableComponent` - `pageB` dynamically requires `PageC` You can see that webpack outputs five files/chunks: - `output.js` is the entry chunk and contains - the module system - chunk loading logic - the entry point `example.js` - `0.output.js` is an additional chunk - module `reusableComponent` - `1.output.js` is an additional chunk - module `pageB` - `2.output.js` is an additional chunk - module `pageA` - `3.output.js` is an additional chunk - module `pageC` # example.js ```javascript var main = function() { console.log("Main class"); require.ensure([], () => { const page = require("./pageA"); page(); }); require.ensure([], () => { const page = require("./pageB"); page(); }); }; main(); ``` # pageA.js ```javascript var reusableComponent = require("./reusableComponent"); module.exports = function() { console.log("Page A"); reusableComponent(); }; ``` # pageB.js ```javascript module.exports = function() { console.log("Page B"); require.ensure([], ()=>{ const page = require("./pageC"); page(); }); }; ``` # pageC.js ```javascript var reusableComponent = require("./reusableComponent"); module.exports = function() { console.log("Page C"); reusableComponent(); }; ``` # reusableComponent.js ```javascript module.exports = function() { console.log("reusable Component"); }; ``` # webpack.config.js ```javascript "use strict"; const path = require("path"); module.exports = { // mode: "development || "production", entry: { main: ["./example.js"] }, optimization: { splitChunks: { minSize: 0 // This example is too small, in practice you can use the defaults }, occurrenceOrder: true // To keep filename consistent between different modes (for example building only) }, output: { path: path.resolve(__dirname, "dist"), filename: "output.js" } }; ``` # dist/output.js
