Webpack (stylised webpack) is an open-source JavaScript module bundler.[2][3][4][5] Its main purpose is to bundle JavaScript files for usage in a browser, yet it is also capable of transforming, bundling, or packaging just about any resource or asset.[6] Webpack takes modules with dependencies and generates static assets representing those modules.[7] It’s a module bundler primarily for JavaScript, but it can transform front-end assets like HTML, CSS, even images if the corresponding plugins are included.

It takes the dependencies and generates a dependency graph allowing web developers to use a modular approach for their web application development purposes. The bundler can be used from the command line, or can be configured using a config file which is named webpack.config.js.[8]

Node.js is required for installing Webpack. Another important aspect about Webpack is that it is highly extensible via the use of loaders. Loaders allow developers to write custom tasks that they want to perform when bundling files together.

Webpack uses a config file with the default filename webpack.config.js to define loaders, plugins, etc, for a project. webpack config tool simplifies the process of creating the config file.Webpack Indeedseo

Webpack provides code on demand using the moniker code splitting. The Technical Committee 39 for ECMAScript is working on standardization of a function that loads additional code: proposal-dynamic-import.
