Description

I'm using backpack with express purely as API endpoint without any views. Front end will be React.

How do I remove this warning?

> Critical dependency: the request of a dependency is an expression

Research direction

Start by reproducing the webpack warning in a Backpack project configured with Express as an API endpoint and no views. Inspect the build configuration and determine what change removes the “request of a dependency is an expression” warning without affecting the React frontend build; done means the API-only build completes without that warning.
