"node_modules" in the development path causes problems for webpack as configured

[davidcrouch]

The root of my development environment is built on "node_modules". Each subdirectory is essentially a module, which makes it easy to reference using "require" no matter where in the directory structure you are calling it from i.e. I don't use relative paths and hence do not break my code if I change the directory structure. This is beneficial in a large project.

Unfortunately, this causes a problem with the boilerplates because of the "exclude: '/node_modules/' in the webpack-config.js. Once I deleted this line I was able to run the boilerplates i.e. "npm run webpack" no longer generated errors.
