  • webpack

    A bundler for javascript and friends. Packs many modules into a few bundled assets. Code Splitting allows for loading parts of the application on demand. Through "loaders", modules can be CommonJs, AMD, ES6 modules, CSS, Images, JSON, Coffeescript, LESS, ... and your custom stuff.

  • A bundler like webpack is usually being used where npm is involved in order to generate a single .js file from all of the imports / exports - and you can usually see the start commands under "scripts" in the package.json - the webpack configuration itself will usually be under a webpack.config.js in the root directory. The bundle is usually placed in a /dist/ folder, and convention is to place all non-configuration code in an adjacent /src/ folder.

  • SurveyJS
