No idea why this plugin is used in aspnetcore-spa apps inside webpack.config.js. Webpack documentation doesn't help either. Do we have to use this? what is manifest.json file? do we have to run the command (webpack --config config/webpack.config.vendor.js) to create it before running the asp.net core app?

new webpack.DllReferencePlugin({
            context: __dirname,
            manifest: require('../wwwroot/dist/vendor-manifest.json')
        })
