Description
Webpack doesn't work in Visual Studio because of its large dependency graph. Installing this package alongside it and then running npm dedup flattens the dependency graph and should fix things.
To use
npm i webpack --save
npm i webpack-windows --save
npm dedup
Note that both of these packages must be dependencies and NOT dev-dependencies, since npm dedup only works with devDependencies for some reason (https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/6036).
