I'm looking into webpack and also angular-cli, and even though angular-cli is supposed to use webpack, I can't see any webpack.config.js file when I create a new project with ng new

Does anybody know how does this work in angular-cli?

i think if you want to use webpack you need to use an angular-cli webpack plugin .. angular cli is not very mature at the moment – federico scamuzzi
but as far as I know, angular-cli already uses webpack, that's what they say in the documentation – David

Maybe this helps. Thanks. – Salman Kazmi

You can use $ ng eject to generate webpack.config.js in the root folder of your project.

I found this thread about configuring webpack in angular-cli. It seems webpack is not configureable at the moment, but they are working on it.

It's not possible to edit webpack in angular-cli project.
There is a workaround repo. Hope this might help. here. Or you can use a scaffolder too if you do it too often https://www.npmjs.com/package/es6-scaffolder. Just choose the angular 2 webpack scaffold from the options.
