Webpack not excluding node_modules

I want to exclude node_modules folder from bundle, and have tried this older way to write: exclude: path.resolve(__dirname, 'node_modules') but still node_modules is imported

But after this exclude, I have error in console:

Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined

And still node_modules folder is imported:

This is weird, I have simply webpack and still it adds me over 30 positions! Look picture below:

Webpack.config.js

const path = require('path');

module.exports = {
    entry: './js/app.js',
    output: {
        path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'js'),
        filename: 'out.js',
    },
    devServer: {
        contentBase: path.resolve(__dirname, 'js'),
        port: 3000,
    },
    module: {
        rules: [
            {
                test: path.resolve(__dirname, 'app.js'),
                loader: 'babel-loader',
                options: {
                    presets: ['env'],
                },
                exclude: path.resolve(__dirname, 'node_modules/')
            }

        ]
    }

• javascript
• webpack

• review your 'target' config re: stackoverflow./questions/44351310/… – Robert Rowntree Commented Sep 20, 2018 at 17:00
• Still nothing... i edited to web, only when i remove line nodeExternals it is working but not removing node_modules – Freestyle09 Commented Sep 20, 2018 at 17:09
• retry module.rules.exclude using exclude: path.resolve(__dirname, "node_modules"), – Robert Rowntree Commented Sep 20, 2018 at 17:47
• Is the node_modules folder in the same folder as your Webpack config? – Adam Commented Sep 20, 2018 at 18:17
• Yes, is in the same directory – Freestyle09 Commented Sep 20, 2018 at 18:37

I'm currently reading a book and my config is set like this:

 module: {
    rules: [
        {
            test: /\.js$/,
            exclude: /node_modules/,
            use: {
                loader: 'babel-loader'
            }
        }
    ]
},

The only place where I use the path.resolve is on the output key.

Hope this helps :)
