Why the negativity towards Webpack?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/reactjs

Our great sponsors
  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • ReactTemplate

    Preconfigured React project with webpack build system and jest unit testing

  • Most people have only ever used Webpack via CRA which is a terribly optimized config. If you design your own Webpack config it can be so fast that you won't notice it. (Example)

  • 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.

  • i was pleased to see webpack continuing to push out releases recently, i am just speculating but maybe there was a passing of the torch because all previous releases before march of this year were done by sokra and now done by thelarkinn (https://github.com/webpack/webpack/releases)

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • alright-react-app

    Professional React app generator. Comes with an exposed, unopinionated, high performance configuration. Jest, SWC, Storybook, Typescript 5, Webpack 5.

  • It's because most webpack projects compile jsx with babel and send the whole dependency chunk straight away. Use this generator to get top performance and maximum flexibility: https://github.com/DoneDeal0/alright-react-app
