Documentation on using with webpack

[Doug Brunner]

I just discovered after some digging that, for a module to work with node-bindings in a project that uses webpack, that module needs to be included in externals in webpack.config.js so that its code ends up in a directory from which its package.json can be found. Would it make sense to include this in the readme?

If someone else struggles with this, here's what worked for me. I am using the npm package objc which depends on ref and ffi, who in turn depend on bindings.

Adding bindings as an external, as suggested in most threads, did not work. Neither did objc. But this did the trick in webpack.config.js:

  externals: {
    ref: 'require("ref")',
    ffi: 'require("ffi")'
  }

the solution from @erikjalevik didn't work for me, but the module mentioned in this comment helped -> jsdom/jsdom#2066 (comment)
