Unable to create hello world with LWC Open Source about lwc HOT 4 CLOSED

Using Webpack is actually a totally different setup than using LWR. LWR by itself does not rely on Webpack at all.

If you want to use Webpack, then you would have to configure your project yourself without any scaffolding. The best guide in this case would be the lwc-webpack-plugin guide. For a scaffold, you might start with a "hello world" Webpack app, e.g. this.

Sorry you have a bad experience, and sorry that the guides are unclear about this!

Out of curiosity, why did you want to use Webpack with LWR? Or were you just trying to use Webpack alone?

Well, I was trying to see if I could use LWC in a non-Node environment. Like if I can use it on a web-hosting location that runs Apache+PhP+MySQL.

I thought the Webpack was supposed to be able to convert a Node-package to something that can run in just a browser, without Node-backend.

But then also out of curiosity, for what reason is that Webpack listed on the setup guide in the first place?
I was following the exact descriptions of the guide, but can't complete it, even though it might have not been something for my use-case...

I will go through that setup-guide you suggested!

Either Rollup or Webpack can be used to create JavaScript artifacts that can run in the browser without a Node.js backend.

If you're looking for something extremely simple, I would recommend checking out our StackBlitz playground which is basically an LWC "hello world" using Rollup. Running npm install && npm run build will generate JavaScript artifacts that can run in the browser.
