[Webpack](https://webpack.js.org/) is a web bundler for JavaScript applications. Instead of writing scripts to build and bundle your app like you would with [Gulp](/tools/gulp.html), you just define what files you want to load into your bundle.
|
||||
|
||||
In the following example, we define that JavaScript files should be handled by babel-loader, excluding the files from node_modules. The logic behind the process comes from the [loader](https://webpack.js.org/concepts/loaders/). You can find the right loader in [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=loader%20webpack&page=1&ranking=optimal).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
`{`
|
||||
|
||||
`test: /\.js$/,`
|
||||
|
||||
`loader: 'babel-loader',`
|
||||
|
||||
`exclude: /node_modules/,`
|
||||
|
||||
`},`
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
On top of that you can use [plugins](https://webpack.js.org/plugins/) to optimize your bundle like uglifying your code or put your common libraries in a separate file.
|
||||
|
||||
Under the hood, you've got nice features such as:
|
||||
|
||||
- [tree shaking](https://webpack.js.org/guides/tree-shaking/) to just bundle the features from a library you need
|
||||
- [chunk splitting](https://webpack.js.org/guides/code-splitting/) to split your code to manage the load prioritization
|
||||
|
||||
The configuration is simple and there is excellent and extensive [documentation](https://webpack.js.org/configuration/).
