Creating the utils package

After we’ve created the devtools package, it is time to add a basic utils package to test the Webpack compilation with devtools. For this, you will need to create a directory at packages/utils. For the example in the book, we will just add one util file to test our devtools, but in the actual repository you will find way more util files that have been added to the project.

As always let’s start creating our package.json in the utils package:

{
  "name": "@web-creator/utils",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "main": "dist/index.js",
  "types": "dist/index.d.ts",
  "files": [
    "dist"
  ],
  "scripts": {
    "build": "cross-env NODE_ENV=production npm-run-all clean compile webpack:production",
    "build:dev": "cross-env NODE_ENV=development npm-run-all clean compile webpack:development",
    ...
