Packaging apps

This is a summary of a news nerds discussion in early November 2019.

  • Grunt and Gulp are old news, although still used.
  • Webpack is difficult but widely used.
  • Rollup is simpler than Webpack, and good.
  • Microbundle is even easier than Rollup, and suitable for smaller modules.
  • The Airbnb JavaScript Style Guide is opinionated but useful for establishing and following conventions.

A long but clear explanation of the whole module-bundling process is Modern JavaScript Explained For Dinosaurs (2017).
