How to execute a script on webpack start?
For solving this you need the help of the 'webpack-shell-plugin'
const WebpackShellPlugin = require('webpack-shell-plugin');
module.exports = {
...
plugins: [
new WebpackShellPlugin({
onBuildStart:['node prepare.js']
})
],
...
}
or you can also use brute force: 'node prepare.js & webpack'
