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.

If we take a look at the webpack repository on GitHub, we will find files containing the definitions of some of the key classes that handle the compilation process in webpack. Webpack makes use of its Tapable library to expose hooks for events during the bundle creation process. Many of the classes in webpack extend Tapable in order to provide hooks to plugins so that they, too, can access lifecycle events.

One alternative tool is Snowpack, which ships and caches each file individually. It takes advantage of ES Modules' import and export functionality, which in recent years has come to be supported by many modern browsers.
Parcel is an alternative that can work well for small-scale projects. It requires less configuration than webpack—or none at all.
