webpack - remove "webpackBootstrap" code

Question

I am using WebPack to concat js files and output to a dist folder. All this seems to work, however my problem is that I want to concat all the js files without extra webpack boostrap code

/******/ (function(modules) { // (/******/ (function(modules) { // webpackBootstrap)......

Is there anyway to prevent webpack from adding that code rather just take the plain js files and concat them (like gulp-concat).

Assuming you are using Webpack 4, drop the runtimeChunk to the config file so Webpack will generate a runtime .js file which contains only the webpackBootstrap part, leaving your output file clean:

optimization: {
    runtimeChunk: true,
}
