Webpack not excluding node modules

Question

I m using webpack for a Node framework that I m building  though I should probably use gulp  admittedly   When I include the EJS module  webpack includes it in the compiled source  even though I explicitly tell it to exclude the node modules dir   module exports         context    dirname      target   node                  output            libraryTarget   commonjs                            module            loaders                                  test     js                    exclude   node modules                   loader   babel-loader    stage   0   optional     runtime                                         As you can see  I have a test for JS files  and I tell it to exclude node modules  why is it ignoring my exclude

This worked for me    exclude    bower components    node modules    module loaders  A array of automatically applied loaders   Each item can have these properties   test  A condition that must be met  exclude  A condition that must not be met  include  A condition that must be met  loader  A string of     separated loaders  loaders  A array of loaders as string  A condition can be a RegExp  an absolute path start  or an array of one of these combined with  and    See http   webpack github io docs configuration html module-loaders

From your config file  it seems like you re only excluding node modules from being parsed with babel-loader  but not from being bundled   In order to exclude node modules and native node libraries from bundling  you need to    Add target   node  to your webpack config js  This will exclude native node modules  path  fs  etc   from being bundled  Use webpack-node-externals in order to exclude other node modules    So your result config file should look like   var nodeExternals   require  webpack-node-externals        module exports                 target   node      in order to ignore built-in modules like path  fs  etc       externals   nodeExternals        in order to ignore all modules in node modules folder
