What kind of projects do you need Webpack for?

Question

css

I have been working in a new website development studio for several months now.
Recently there was a need to compress files on the server, as well as merging. Development goes right on the server. We develop both LP and multi-page and online stores. Do I need to use webpack for this purpose in these projects?
If so, please advise plugins for minimizing css, js, html files, reducing image sizes and for the correct work of preprocessors for syy

Answer 1

Webpack is ideal for SPA applications. Of course, it can also be used for desktop applications, although it will not be as elegant. Of course, gulp can do all of the above, but gulp is still a task runner, i.e. a more general-purpose tool, and webpack is a assembler, i.e. a tool tailored specifically for building applications. And yes, using webpack generally frees you from using gulp. Regarding plugins - read the doc https://webpack.github.io/, you will find there about plugins and everything else.
