I'm new to React.js and I'm trying to learn from the tutorials on tutorialspoint but I faced error. Here is the error on console when I execute npm start command:
C:\Users\HP\Desktop\reactApp1> npm start
> [email protected] start C:\Users\HP\Desktop\reactApp1.
> webpack-dev-server --hot
The CLI moved into a separate package: webpack-cli.
Please install .webpack-cli. in addition to webpack itself to use the CLI.
-> When using npm: npm install webpack-cli -D
-> When using yarn: yarn add webpack-cli -D

I went through the same example and faced the same issue. So following the above answers I first ran this command -
npm install -g webpack-cli --save-dev
Nothing happened and was still facing the same issue.
Then I ran this command -
npm install webpack-cli --save-dev
The issue was solved but I was getting another error.
Turns out in the new Webpack version they have changed the module attributes also. So you need to make change in the webpack.config.js file also.
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.jsx?$/,
exclude: /node_modules/,
loader: 'babel-loader',
query: {
presets: ['es2015', 'react']
}
}
]
}So basically loaders is replaced by rules inside the module object.
I made this change and it worked for me.
Hope it helps other people who are following this tutorial.
To resolve the Invalid configuration object issue, I referred to this answer.
