Minipack is a simplified, heavily commented implementation of a modern JavaScript module bundler, intended to teach how tools like Webpack, Parcel, and Browserify work under the hood. It is a small educational codebase rather than a production bundler.

Use cases

• learn how module bundlers work internally
• understand how webpack bundles javascript modules
• study how commonjs and es6 modules are resolved and bundled
• see how an ast is used to build a dependency graph
• teach frontend build tooling concepts
• build your own module bundler from scratch

When to choose

• you want to understand bundler internals with readable, commented code
• you are teaching or learning how webpack-like tools transform modules into a bundle
• you want a minimal reference implementation before reading webpack or parcel source

When to avoid

• you need a production bundler for a real project
• you need features like code splitting, tree shaking, or plugins
• you expect active maintenance or updates
