Webpack in 1 minute
If you're a web developer, then it's likely that you've heard the term - Webpack. What is Webpack and how does it fit into modern web development?
That's what you'll learn in a few minutes! Keep reading!
In general, Webpack is a module bundler for JavaScript applications.
Still unclear? I'll break it down for you!
Web applications usually have many files, such as images, assets, dependencies, HTML files, style sheets, etc.
Whenever we want the web app to be loaded on a browser, the browser first must download all these files. As a result, the browser may have difficulty maintaining the order of script tags to avoid breaking dependent code, etc.
Thanks to the ES6 release, now we have Webpack which simply takes all of these related files and bundles them into one, reducing the number of files and making the downloading task simple & less error prone.
That's all!
