This repository provides a sample setup to use jQuery UI widgets, built with webpack.

To try this locally, clone this repo, then run:

npm install

The setup includes webpack-dev-server, which builds file as they change and runs a server that auto reloads those changed files. To run:

npm start

To build static files that can be uploaded on GitHub pages or any other static file hosting, run:

npm run build

This writes resources into the dist/ folder. They are not minified to make it easy to inspect the result.

This demo is mostly useful to show how to use webpack to bundle a single page application that uses jQuery UI. The generated html page has no content on its own, which is a bad approach when you're building public facing websites. For those you'd start with a proper HTML page, but you could still use webpack to bundle the static resources (JS, CSS, images).
