When was the last time you built a web application without Webpack?
For me, it’s been over 3 years.
Webpack has become an essential tool for development, allowing you to configure your project to work with Babel, ES6/ES7, Import/Export, JSX, SCSS and more. While Webpack gets the job done, I often find myself needing to reconfigure the same tools each time I start a new project.

Getting started couldn’t be easier, so let’s dive in and see what Parcel can do!
