How to add a js file with webpack?

Question

I was reading this webpack tutorial:

https://webpack.github.io/docs/usage.html

It says it bundles the src files and node_modules. If I want to add another .js file there, how can I do this? This is a thirdpartyjs file that is not part of the source and not part of the node_modules files. This is my current webpack.config.js:

var path = require('path');
var webpack = require('webpack');

module.exports = {
    entry: [
        'react-hot-loader/patch',
        'webpack-dev-server/client?http://localhost:8080',
        'webpack/hot/only-dev-server',
        './app/app.js'
    ],
    output: {
        path: path.resolve(__dirname, "dist"),
        publicPath: "/dist/",
        filename: "dist.js",
        sourceMapFilename: "dist.map"
    },
    devtool: 'source-map',
    plugins: [
        new webpack.HotModuleReplacementPlugin(),
        new webpack.DefinePlugin({
            'process.env': {
                'NODE_ENV': JSON.stringify('development')
            }
        }),
    ],
    module: {
        loaders: [{
            loader: 'babel',
            exclude: /node_modules/
        }]
    },
    devServer: {
        inline: true
    },
    node: {
        fs: "empty"
    },
    watch: false
}

The start point for code is the entry field in config. In your config entry point is the list of files. Webpack gets all, resolve their dependencies and output in one file.

You have two options for adding third party script:

• add the file path to entry list before app.js
• require this file from app.js
