— Thats not "directly" imo
Im working on a ~5mb after build react 15 app. I always looking ou for optimizing it but since I'm the only front-end dev & freelancer, must of my time is creating new components.. weppack config is huge tho.. one for dev, one for build.. all the loaders and blah kinda sucks
— As far as i read, it states that parcel will grab .html and link all the things into a bundle, i thought that it's better than doing separate configs for js/css etc. npm says, that it's ded
— Good sign, something is dead walking🤤
— What's dead?
— Parcel,?
— Huh?
— Yes, but it doesn't work if you don't have an index.html
— If you are on the NODE (back-end only), why you need bundlers, it will work with imports, right?
— Ye, i watched the npm stats: https://www.npmtrends.com/browserify-vs-parcel-vs-parcel-bundler-vs-webpack
— Yes
— The article why frontend is broken states that trusting the popularity of a package doesnt nessecarily means anything. sooo i guess: whatever works.
