一、运行命令

 （1）npm script

//开发环境
npm run dev
//生产环境
npm run build

（2）webpack直接执行

webpack entry.js bundle.js

二、查找Webpack入口文件

（1）在命令行运行以上命令后，npm会让命令行工具进入node_modules\.bin 目目录查找是否存在 webpack.sh 或者 webpack.cmd 文件，如果存在，就执行，不存在，就抛出错误。

（2）实际的入口文件是：node_modules\webpack\bin\webpack.js

三、webpack 的入口文件：webpack.js 分析

#!/usr/bin/env node
 
// @ts-ignore
//正常执行返回（exitCode为0，error为null），报错会修改exitCode同时throw error
process.exitCode = 0;
 
/**
 * @param {string} command process to run
 * @param {string[]} args commandline arguments
 * @returns {Promise<void>} promise
 */
//运行某个命令
//command：npm
//arg: install xxx -d
//提供一个方案快速的去执行一个命令，而不需要再命令行里手动地去输入命令
const runCommand = (command, args) => {
	const cp = require("child_process");
	return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
		const executedCommand = cp.spawn(command, args, {
			stdio: "inherit",
			shell: true
		});
 
		executedCommand.on("error", error => {
			reject(error);
		});
 
		executedCommand.on("exit", code => {
			if (code === 0) {
				resolve();
			} else {
				reject();
			}
		});
	});
};
 
/**
 * @param {string} packageName name of the package
 * @returns {boolean} is the package installed?
 */
//判断某个包是否安装
const isInstalled = packageName => {
	try {
		require.resolve(packageName);
 
		return true;
	} catch (err) {
		return false;
	}
};
 
/**

 * @property {string} name display name

 四、启动后的结果

webpack 最终找到 webpack-cli (webpack-command) 这个 npm 包，并且执行 CLI。
