Where are the built files written to?

[dopatraman]

I'm looking at the webpack.config file and I see this block:

output: {
    path: './dist',
  },

However, when I build the project with npm start, although I am able to load the project in the browser I cannot find the dist directory. Where are the built files being written?

Same for me. I work with Win7. How to set in Production ?

If you run npm start in the project it will use webpack-dev-server, and all files server by it will be ran from the memory, so there will be no files created on the disk.

You can resolve it by using npm run watch and then server the files from somewhere else.

@willyelm explanation covers what is going on during dev. For prod build see #17
