Help understanding webpack, transpiling, and why this library needs a bundler to work

  Display PDFs in your React app as easily as if they were images. (by wojtekmaj)

I'm trying to use a react library (and see little guide I was using) to view pdf's on my webpage. I installed, got my code to compile, but the component fails completely when I visit the webpage. I'm 99% sure its cause I'm missing some sort of "configuration" file called pdf.worker.js. The github for react pdf indicates this can be generated by something called a "bundler" like webpack.

  Syntax definitions for ES6 JavaScript with React JSX extensions.

  

Babel is a transpiling system that lets developers use cutting edge Javascript that isn't supported by every browser. For example not all browsers support the const keyword. When Babel transpiles your code it converts every const it finds into let. Which is supported by most browsers.
