Install Webpack Plugin
Speed up development by automatically installing & saving dependencies with Webpack.
It is inefficient to Ctrl-C your build script & server just to install a dependency you didn't know you needed until now.
Instead, use require or import how you normally would and installation will happen automatically to install & save missing dependencies while you work!
