Unexpected spread operator in Webpack config

[andrewliebchen]

When trying to run the example, Webpack complains it doesn't know about the spread operator:

Object spread only works with node.js >= 8.6.0 So the quickest fix is to upgrade your installed node.js version (You can check your current version by typing node -v in the terminal).

Better solution is to use Object.assign() for better compatibility with older node.js versions. I will make a pull-request if the issue is still present on the weekend 🙂

That works 😄 . Or an .nvmrc. But maybe Object.assign() is better since not everybody using this will have nvm.
