Webpack

Webpack is the most popular bundler and it followed on the heels of Require.js, Rollup, and similar solutions. But the learning curve for a tool like webpack is steep. Getting started with webpack isn’t easy due to its complex configurations. As a result, in recent years another solution has emerged. This tool is not necessarily a front-runner, but an easier-to-digest alternative on the front-end module bundler landscape. Introducing Parcel.js.

Parcel.js has built-in support for different code transpilers, including Babel, the popular tool for converting modern next-generation JavaScript to equivalent code that can be understood by all browsers. Because Babel is built into Parcel.js, you don’t need a special plug-in to use it, it just works. Let’s look at an example.
