webpack is a module bundler that is primarily used for bundling JavaScript files for usage in a browser, though it can also transform, bundle, or package just about any resource or asset, including images and styles.

webpack packs many modules into a few bundled assets. It can bundle ES Modules, CommonJS, and AMD modules, and create a single bundle or multiple chunks through code-splitting that are asynchronously loaded at runtime. It supports all browsers that are ES5-compliant, has a rich plugin interface that makes it very flexible, and enables the use of loaders to preprocess files.

Features

  • Bundles ES Modules, AMD modules, CommonJS, and even combinations of these
  • Able to make one bundle or several chunks which are then asynchronously loaded at runtime, reducing initial loading time
  • Resolves dependencies at compilation, reducing the runtime size
  • Preprocesses files during compilation through Loaders (from TypeScript to JavaScript, Handlebars strings to compiled functions, etc.)
  • Has a plugin system that is highly modular, able to do whatever else your application needs
  • Wide browser support (for browsers that are ES5-compliant)
  • Incredibly fast - through the use of async I/O and multiple caching levels
  • Able to do several optimizations to minimize the output size of your JavaScript
