Webpack output to the wrong directory

Hey guys, I have a quick question. I've got this webpack setup

const path = require('path')

module.exports = {
    "mode": "development",
    entry: {
        main: './src/module.js'
    },
    module: {
        rules: [
            {
                test: /\.css$/,
                use: ['style-loader', 'css-loader'],
            },
        ]
    },
    output: {
        filename: '[name].js',
        path: path.resolve(__dirname, '/assets')
    }
}

const path = require('path')

module.exports = {
    "mode": "development",
    entry: {
        main: './src/module.js'
    },
    module: {
        rules: [
            {
                test: /\.css$/,
                use: ['style-loader', 'css-loader'],
            },
        ]
    },
    output: {
        filename: '[name].js',
        path: path.resolve(__dirname, '/assets')
    }
}

And I would like to compile my output in the 'assets' folder but when I run npm start it rather compile to the wrong directory

'/public' directory
asset main.js

'/public' directory
asset main.js

output after compiling. I'd want it to be compiled here

'/assets' directory

'/assets' directory

Thanks for the answers🙌🏼
