+# Socket.IO WebPack build
+
+A sample Webpack build for the server.
+
+## How to use
+
+```
+$ npm i
+$ npm run build
+$ npm start
+```
+
+**Note:**
+
+- the `bufferutil` and `utf-8-validate` are optional dependencies from `ws`, compiled from native code, which are meant to improve performance ([ref](https://github.com/websockets/ws#opt-in-for-performance)). You can also omit them, as they have their JS fallback, and ignore the WebPack warning.
+
+- the server is initiated with `serveClient` set to `false`, so it will not serve the client file.

+# Socket.IO WebPack build
+
+A sample Webpack build for the browser.
+
+## How to use
+
+```
+$ npm i
+$ npm run build-all
+```
+
+There are two WebPack configuration:
+
+- the minimal configuration, just bundling the application and its dependencies. The `app.js` file in the `dist` folder is the result of that build.
+
+- a slimmer one, where:
+  - the JSON polyfill needed for IE6/IE7 support has been removed.
+  - the `debug` calls and import have been removed (the [debug](https://github.com/visionmedia/debug) library is included in the build by default).
+  - the source has been uglified (dropping IE8 support), and an associated SourceMap has been generated.
