Webpack Fundamentals
Origins
JS it's just scripts
Inline Script
Problems • Doesn't Scale • Too many Scripts • Performance
Problems • Unmaintainable Scripts • Scope • Size • Readability • Fragility
IIFE's - Immediately Invoked Function Expression
IIFE's • Full rebuilds every time • Lots of IIFE's
are slow
How to import JS on Backend? COMMON JS
CommonJS -> NodeJS
JavaScript Modules CommonJS
JavaScript Modules Was too popular, but how to use this
on Browser Commonjs is synchronous !!! No browser support !!! CommonJS
AMD To transfer module syntax from server usage to browser
usage, CommonJS proposed AMD - Asynchronous Module Definition
AMD But, How can I use it ?
RequireJS • Is a JavaScript module loader. • It helps
load modules asynchronously as needed • You can write AMD style module
RequireJS
Browserify • With Browserify, you can use CommonJS module in
browser application • Traverse the dependency tree of your codes and bundle them up in a single file
Browserify
ES6 Module Syntax • Browsers are not ready for this
new syntax. • There are tools available. These tools allow us to use ES6 module syntax today.
Webpack • Webpack is a module bundler. • If it
is the same as Browserify, why would we need yet another module bundler? • Webpack can handle CommonJS, AMD and ES6 modules.
The Core Concepts • Entry • Output • Loaders •
Plugins
Entry Default ./src/index.js webpack.config.js
Output Default ./dist/main.js
Loaders & Rules test A regular expression that instructs the
compiler which files to run the loader against. use An array/string/function that returns loader objects.
Chaining Loaders less-loader css-loader style-loader style.less style.css *.js Inline style
Plugins Allow you to hook into the entire compilation lifecycle
Add new instance of plugin to plugins key in config object
Using during development 1. Webpack's watch mode 2. webpack-dev-server
Webpack's Watch Mode npm run watch
webpack -dev-server webpack.config.js
webpack -dev-server package.json
Tree Shaking Dead-code elimination
Tree Shaking
Tree Shaking
Production Goal - Improve load time 1. Minified bundles 2.
Lighter weight source maps 3. Optimized assets It's recommend writing separate webpack configurations for each environment
