Hi,

By default, webpack will generate that .js file. As in your configuration output, all the entry files must generate their js files.

Note: extract-text-webpack-plugin will extract all css/sass located in your js entry files.

It moves all the required *.css modules in entry chunks into a separate CSS file. So your styles are no longer inlined into the JS bundle, but in a separate CSS file (styles.css).

styles.js will not be used. You can remove it.

Thanks

Not sure if I understand you, if this file will not be used/has no purpose or will not be linked from any html document then why it is being generated? There must be a reason!

What do you mean exactly by: "You can remove it"? if I do so and then run a new webpack build it is going to be regenerated anyways!

Hi Fabian,

Webpack generated it by default. We cannot control it. We can add a function to delete it after being generated, it will be automatically removed after the webpack run.

Thanks
