javascript - "require is not defined" Using webpack 2

Question

I'm having problems with bundle my app using webpack, I've reading in the site similar problems though I've trying all the recommendations and I can't figure it out what's wrong.

Everything bundles well. However when I open the browser show me this error:
Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined

webpack-dist.conf.js

const webpack = require('webpack');
const conf = require('./gulp.conf');
const path = require('path');


const HtmlWebpackPlugin = require('html-webpack-plugin');
const FailPlugin = require('webpack-fail-plugin');
const ExtractTextPlugin = require('extract-text-webpack-plugin');
const pkg = require('../package.json');
const autoprefixer = require('autoprefixer');
const nodeExternals = require('webpack-node-externals');

module.exports = {
  module: {
    loaders: [
      {

I'll be thankful if anyone can help.

Answer 1

You're using an incorrect target:

target: 'node'

This means that the bundle is intended to be used in a Node.js (server-side) program, not a browser. You can change it to web, or just remove that line (because web is the default).
