What is Bundler?
It is a tool that combines and optimizes multiple files in a software project and turns them into a single structure that browsers can run.
Overview
Modern web projects consist of hundreds of small files. Browsers have a hard time downloading so many files one by one. Bundler takes these files, links them together, and improves performance by cleaning up unnecessary parts.
How it works
During the development phase, you work with files individually. When you publish the project, bundler comes into play and packages all the files in a way that the browser can understand.
Where it is used
It is indispensable in JavaScript-based web development projects.
Commonly confused with
Can be mixed with compiler; compiler kodu başka bir dile çevirir, bundler ise dosyaları bir araya getirir.
Frequently asked questions
Why don't we put everything in one file?
Very large files can slow down the browser; so bundler sometimes splits files into smart parts.
