Node JS and Webpack Unexpected token

by

Your server:

var Server = http.createServer(function(request, response) {
  var filename = path.join(__dirname, 'index.html');

… is configured to ignore everything in the request and always return the contents of index.html.

So when the browser requests /assets/bundle.js it is given index.html (and errors because that isn’t JavaScript).

You need to pay attention to the path and serve up appropriate content, with the appropriate content type.

This would probably be best done by finding a static file serving module (Google turns up node-static) for Node (or replacing Node with something like Lighttpd or Apache HTTPD).

If you want to serve up dynamic content as well as static content, then Express is a popular choice (and has support for static files).
