Hello! I am building a project with webpack. Here is his config

const path = require('path')
const HTMLWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin')
const {CleanWebpackPlugin} = require('clean-webpack-plugin')
const CopyWebpackPlugin = require('copy-webpack-plugin')
const MiniCssExtractPlugin = require('mini-css-extract-plugin')
const OptimizeCssAssetWebpackPlugin = require('optimize-css-assets-webpack-plugin')
const TerserWebpackPlugin = require('terser-webpack-plugin')
const {BundleAnalyzerPlugin} = require('webpack-bundle-analyzer')
const SVGSpritemapPlugin = require('svg-spritemap-webpack-plugin')

const isDev = process.env.NODE_ENV === ''
const isProd = !isDev

const optimization = () => {
  const config = {
    splitChunks: {
      chunks: 'all'
    }
  }

  if (isProd) {
    config.minimizer = [
      new OptimizeCssAssetWebpackPlugin(),
      new TerserWebpackPlugin()
    ]
  }

  return config
}

const filename = ext => isDev ? `[name].${ext}` : `[name].[hash].${ext}`

const cssLoaders = extra => {

  return loaders
