This page is not finished yet.

I'm struggling to associate the content of extended configuration definitions with "Passing a Configuration". What his "passed"? Alternative suggestion: "Configuration Types" (relating to Javascript types function, array, Promise).

See also my comment: #895 (comment)

Configuration types would be better, yeah. Better rename the page, add the env bits there and include multi-compiler mode (return an array) too. That covers it.

[simon04]

Documenting multi-compiler mode is covered in #898.

It's just that https://webpack.js.org/configuration/environment/#using-environment-variables does not fit into the new title. Maybe keep this section on a separate page titled "environment variables"? Or keep --env on both pages?

[bebraw]

Using --env would fit the suggested page. Using environment variables could become a guide. It's out of place there.

Good idea. PR #898 is updated.
