## What it is
A curated guide from Google Chrome Labs listing webpack optimization tips for popular JavaScript libraries like lodash, moment, and react. It shows how to reduce bundle sizes using techniques such as babel plugins and modular imports.

## Use cases
- reduce webpack bundle size when using lodash
- optimize moment.js imports in webpack
- make react bundle smaller with webpack
- tree-shake libraries that don't ship ES modules
- find webpack tips for popular npm libraries
- learn how to bundle only the parts of a library I use

## When to choose
- you use webpack and want smaller bundles for common libraries
- you're auditing why a JavaScript bundle is large
- you want canonical, Chrome-team-vetted optimization tips

## When to avoid
- you use bundlers other than webpack (tips are webpack-specific)
- you need a runnable tool rather than documentation
- you need up-to-date coverage of newer libraries (last updated 2022)
