Conflict: Multiple assets emit to the same filename

Question

I\'m a webpack rookie who wants to learn all about it. I came across a conflict when running my webpack telling me:

ERROR in chunk html [entry] app.js Confl

Answer 1

I had the same problem, and I found these in the documents.

If your configuration creates more than a single “chunk” (as with multiple entry points or when using plugins like CommonsChunkPlugin), you should use substitutions to ensure that each file has a unique name.

• [name] is replaced by the name of the chunk.
• [hash] is replaced by the hash of the compilation.
• [chunkhash] is replaced by the hash of the chunk.

 output: {
    path:__dirname+'/dist/js',

    //replace filename:'app.js' 
    filename:'[name].js'
}
