docs(misc): add titles to intro/overview pages (#31636)
## Current Behavior

- Documentation pages under "technologies" and "core-api" sections with
"introduction"/"overview" IDs lack H1 titles after front matter
- Some remote caching package links point to parent sections instead of
overview pages

## Expected Behavior

- All affected documentation pages should have H1 titles for consistency
- Links should point directly to overview pages

## Related Issue(s)

## Changes Made

### 1. Updated Remote Caching Links (commit fae9055f8c)

Updated links in 3 files to point directly to overview pages:
- `docs/blog/2025-01-06-nx-update-20-3.md`
- `docs/shared/deprecated/custom-tasks-runner.md`
- `docs/shared/recipes/running-tasks/self-hosted-caching.md`

Changed links from:
- `/reference/core-api/azure-cache` →
`/reference/core-api/azure-cache/overview`
- `/reference/core-api/gcs-cache` →
`/reference/core-api/gcs-cache/overview`
- `/reference/core-api/s3-cache` →
`/reference/core-api/s3-cache/overview`
- `/reference/core-api/shared-fs-cache` →
`/reference/core-api/shared-fs-cache/overview`

### 2. Added H1 Titles to Documentation Pages

Added H1 titles to 29 documentation files that were missing them:

#### Core API Overview Pages (6 files)
- `docs/shared/packages/azure-cache/azure-cache-plugin.md` → `#
@nx/azure-cache`

- `docs/shared/packages/eslint/eslint.md` → `# @nx/eslint`
- `docs/shared/packages/gradle/gradle-plugin.md` → `# @nx/gradle`
- `docs/shared/packages/express/express-plugin.md` → `# @nx/express`
- `docs/shared/packages/node/node-plugin.md` → `# @nx/node`

- `docs/shared/packages/expo/expo-plugin.md` → `# @nx/expo`
- `docs/shared/packages/react/react-plugin.md` → `# @nx/react`
- `docs/shared/packages/next/plugin-overview.md` → `# @nx/next`
- `docs/shared/packages/react-native/react-native-plugin.md` → `#
@nx/react-native`
- `docs/shared/packages/remix/remix-plugin.md` → `# @nx/remix`
- `docs/shared/packages/cypress/cypress-plugin.md` → `# @nx/cypress`
- `docs/shared/packages/detox/detox-plugin.md` → `# @nx/detox`

- `docs/shared/packages/vue/vue-plugin.md` → `# @nx/vue`
- `docs/shared/packages/nuxt/nuxt-plugin.md` → `# @nx/nuxt`

Note: The Angular Rspack introduction page
(`docs/shared/guides/angular-rspack/introduction.md`) already had an
appropriate H1
title "# Introduction" and was left unchanged.

All changes improve documentation consistency and navigation by ensuring
proper titles and direct links to overview pages.

title: Overview of the Nx Webpack Plugin
description: The Nx Plugin for Webpack contains executors and generators that support building applications using Webpack.
---
# @nx/webpack
The Nx plugin for [webpack](https://webpack.js.org/).
[Webpack](https://webpack.js.org/) is a static module bundler for modern JavaScript applications. The `@nx/webpack` plugin provides executors that allow you to build and serve your projects using webpack, plus an executor for SSR.
Nx now allows you to [customize your webpack configuration](/technologies/build-tools/webpack/recipes/webpack-config-setup) for your projects. And we also offer [a number of webpack plugins](/technologies/build-tools/webpack/recipes/webpack-plugins) for supporting Nx and other frameworks.
## Setting up a new Nx workspace with Webpack
You can create a new workspace that uses Webpack with one of the following commands:
- Generate a new standalone React app set up with Webpack
```shell
npx create-nx-workspace@latest --preset=react-standalone --bundler=webpack
```
- Generate a new React monorepo set up with Webpack
```shell
npx create-nx-workspace@latest --preset=react-monorepo --bundler=webpack
```
### Installation
{% callout type="note" title="Keep Nx Package Versions In Sync" %}
Make sure to install the `@nx/webpack` version that matches the version of `nx` in your repository. If the version numbers get out of sync, you can encounter some difficult to debug errors. You can [fix Nx version mismatches with this recipe](/recipes/tips-n-tricks/keep-nx-versions-in-sync).
{% /callout %}
In any Nx workspace, you can install `@nx/webpack` by running the following command:
```shell {% skipRescope=true %}
nx add @nx/webpack
```
This will install the correct version of `@nx/webpack`.
### How @nx/webpack Infers Tasks
The `@nx/webpack` plugin will create a task for any project that has a Webpack configuration file present. Any of the following files will be recognized as a Webpack configuration file:
- `webpack.config.js`
- `webpack.config.ts`
- `webpack.config.mjs`
- `webpack.config.cjs`
### View Inferred Tasks
To view inferred tasks for a project, open the [project details view](/concepts/inferred-tasks) in Nx Console or run `nx show project my-project --web` in the command line.
### @nx/webpack Configuration
The `@nx/webpack/plugin` is configured in the `plugins` array in `nx.json`.
```json {% fileName="nx.json" %}
{
"plugins": [
{
"plugin": "@nx/webpack/plugin",
"options": {
"buildTargetName": "build",
"previewTargetName": "preview",
"serveTargetName": "serve",
"serveStaticTargetName": "serve-static"
}
}
]
}
```
The `buildTargetName`, `previewTargetName`, `serveTargetName` and `serveStaticTargetName` options control the names of the inferred Webpack tasks. The default names are `build`, `preview`, `serve` and `serve-static`.
## Generate a new project using Webpack
You can generate a [React](/technologies/react/introduction) application or a [Web](/reference/core-api/web) application that uses Webpack in an existing Nx workspace. The [`@nx/react:app`](/technologies/react/api/generators/application), [`@nx/node:app`](/technologies/node/api/generators/application) and [`@nx/web:app`](/reference/core-api/web/generators/application) generators accept the `bundler` option, where you can pass `webpack`. This will generate a new application configured to use Webpack, and it will also install all the necessary dependencies, including the `@nx/webpack` plugin.
To generate a React application using Webpack, run the following:
```bash
nx g @nx/react:app apps/my-app --bundler=webpack
```
To generate a Node application using Webpack, run the following:
```bash
nx g @nx/node:app apps/my-app --bundler=webpack
```
To generate a Web application using Webpack, run the following:
```bash
nx g @nx/web:app apps/my-app --bundler=webpack
```
