Packages used by npx are not installed globally so you have to carefree for the pollution for the long term.


Packages used by npm are installed globally you have to care about pollution for the long term. Npx is a tool that use to execute packages. Webpack is required to build this project, seems it should be a listed dependency (see open question). Strangely, other docs out there suggest we don’t need to have Webpack as a dev dependency, but that seems wrong to me. Npm is a tool that use to install packages. Now we install it locally because source-map-loader won’t work if we don’t. But in npx you can use that without installing like npx create-react-app myApp, this command is required in every app’s life cycle only once. To use create-react-app in npm the commands are npm install create-react-app then create-react-app myApp(Installation required). A package can be executable without installing the package, it is an npm package runner so if any packages that aren’t already installed it will installed automatically. Npx If you wish to run package through npm then you have to specify that package in your package.json and installed it locally. Even though webpack can be installed globally ( npm add webpack -g ), its a good idea to maintain it as a dependency of your project to avoid issues.

It gets installed into the system with the installation of node.js. The npm manages all the packages and modules for node.js and consists of command– line client npm. Schlueter, it was initially released on January 12, 2010. It is written entirely in JavaScript, developed by Isaac Z. NPM: The npm stands for Node Package Manager and it is the default package manager for Node.js.

What I expected is if I install webpack globally, I can run 'webpack' command at the project root folder, then it will read webpack-config.js file and execute full compile logic, in that way I can share the same webpack copy across different projects and make the compile much easy. Lot's of projects are using it to generate a complex website/web app, not just compile one file at a time. webpack is a powerful tool but highly depends on how you use it.

And seems it only compile one file each time not full compile, that may not good for big project which contain many export files.
