Beyond Webpack with ES Modules
With the dawn of JavaScript-based frameworks, Webpack rose in popularity, and it became the de facto module bundler for all JavaScript frameworks. However, bundling/compiling large applications with Webpack can be very slow, and manually configuring it to efficiently bundle an app is very complex. Recently, a new breed of bundler tools that takes advantage of ES modules has taken the frontend world by storm, promising compilation over 20 times faster than Webpack.
ES modules are a standardized way to define and import modules in JavaScript. They allow for modular code organization, which can make it easier to develop and maintain large applications. ES modules also provide a clear and explicit syntax for importing and exporting code, making it easier to reason about the dependencies between different modules.
Each of our micro apps can be exported as ES modules, and by using dynamic imports, we can embed them into our host application.
