Do we still need Webpack when all connections can use HTTP/2 and TLS thanks to LetsEncrypt ?

  What does that have to do with Webpack?
  • JasonSage 9y ago
    Instead of serving bundles you can load individual scripts over an HTTP/2 connection and quickly serve only the scripts which are needed.

      Ah, but webpack does so, so much more than just bundling.
• BrandoElFollito 9y ago
  You need webpack to actually use a Vue component (template + script + CSS).

    You can use Browserify or Rollup too. https://github.com/vuejs/vueify https://github.com/vuejs/vueify https://github.com/vuejs/rollup-plugin-vue https://github.com/vuejs/rollup-plugin-vue

      Yes, I meant that the OP comment missed a large chunk of webpack use cases, such as compilation of components.

    Damn, I see that as unnecessary tight coupling, but a lot of our current technologies have survived that way.

  Webpack does much more than just put all your stuff in 1 bundle. It minifies, it does code splitting (only load what you need, HTTP2 is even a benefit here), tree shaking (remove unsued CSS), it can change your import paths for your convienence and so much more. Really it can do everything and that's why its so daunting for developers.
