[FR]: webpack-merge loader required

[hansiemithun]

What is the current behavior?

There is no loader present or available for webpack-merge feature

Describe the feature

we are extensively relying on webpack-merge for different environments. Hence when trying to integrate to pipelines, getting error as webpack-merge module not present. Requesting someone to please help in this at the earliest or just a workaround to handle this scenario.

As i can see there was no webpack-merge loader present here: https://github.com/aspect-build/rules_webpack/tree/main/webpack/private

Error:

[webpack-cli] Error: Cannot find module 'webpack-merge'

I'm pretty sure this isn't an issue with rules_webpack, adding more loader dependencies is probably the users job.

Maybe we just want to add an example
