Setting the mode should fix the below warning.

WARNING in configuration
The 'mode' option has not been set, webpack will fallback to 'production' for this value. Set 'mode' option to 'development' or 'production' to enable defaults for each environment.
You can also set it to 'none' to disable any default behavior. Learn more: https://webpack.js.org/configuration/mode/

My conf:
Windows 10 64 bit
Node v10.16.0

Hello,

I'm starting to learn Imba. The client.js is 91K so I tried to plugin the minifier (UglifyJs) and it failed due to what I think was an ES6 feature it couldn't parse. I tried to plugin babel but could figure out how to get it to work (don't have needed experience with either webpack or babel). Could you please provide an example of how to minify the example?

Thank you for the time and effort in looking into this issue. :)

This is interesting for learners or beginners curious why and how the example is structured.

I have tried all imba2 templates (webpack, snowpack, parcel) but none of them is working for me.
Now I am reporting issues related to webpack based template.

I download template using git clone https://github.com/imba/webpack-app-imba.git
and then I installed all dependencies using npm install after all that when I start the app using
npm run start , It failed and shows this error.

I am using node-v14.16.0

ERROR in Entry module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'imba/loader' in 'C:\Users\ssp\Documents\lang-imba\my-cards'

Thanks

I'm using win-7 64-bit. I installing imba with npm gave the follwing output:

I think it is installed properly anyway

E:\workspace\npm>imba

Then I created a directory, created another called src, copied hello.imba and tried to compile:

I also tried to copying imba.js to the same place with src, tried again and got this error message window:
