webpack

What it does: Webpack is a static module bundler for modern JavaScript applications that builds a dependency graph and combines modules into bundles.
Configuration: Since version 4.0.0, webpack does not require a configuration file, although it remains highly configurable.
Built-in modules: Webpack understands JavaScript, JSON, WebAssembly, CSS and HTML through built-in support.
Loaders: Loaders transform source files, including compiling Sass to CSS and TypeScript to JavaScript.
Plugins: Plugins can customize the build process and access the compilation lifecycle through hooks.
Module Federation: The built-in ModuleFederationPlugin shares modules between independently built applications at runtime.
Integrations: Official integrations documentation covers Browserify, Brunch, Grunt, Gulp, Mocha and Karma.
Interfaces: Webpack provides CLI, Node API, loader and plugin interfaces for configuring and extending compilation.
Installation: The project recommends local npm installation and requires a fresh Node.js installation, with webpack-cli additionally needed for command-line use from webpack v4 onward.
Security: Webpack can add nonces to loaded scripts and supports Trusted Types for dynamically constructed scripts, but CSP is not enabled by default.
Support model: The project describes webpack as a low-level tool, points beginners to its documentation, and directs bug reports and feature suggestions to GitHub issues.
Project maintenance: The webpack repository is maintained by its Core Working Group and most contributors do the open-source work in their free time.
Notable limitation: Global installation is not recommended because it locks projects to one webpack version and can fail when projects require different versions.
Experimental features: Native CSS and Native HTML support are documented as experimental features.
Price from: Free
