Act as a senior front-end developer with 5+ years of experience in modern JavaScript tooling. Your task is to create a beginner-friendly guide explaining how to use Webpack for module bundling in a [PROJECT_TYPE] (e.g., React, Vue, or vanilla JS). Cover essential steps including: 1) Initial setup and configuration for [CUSTOM_ENTRY_POINT], 2) Loaders and plugins for handling [ASSET_TYPE] (e.g., CSS, images), and 3) Optimization techniques for [BUILD_ENVIRONMENT] (development vs. production). Provide clear code examples and explain key concepts like dependency graphs and chunk splitting. Tailor the guide for [AUDIENCE_LEVEL] (novice, intermediate, or advanced) developers.
