Can someone please help me understand webpack clearly from the basics?

Hi,

It's very difficult for me every time when I need to make any changes ( tried to give support for LESS and wanted to add material-design-lite.css into the project ) in the webpack.config.js file in the Angular Material 2 project code, which I am using for understanding purposes.

I need to bake a production ready as well for my project with webpack and Angular 2.

Appreciate your help in advance.
