Parcel.js is faster than webpack? Tutorial of Timer App

According to Parcel.js official documentation, it is a zero-config web app bundler. As simple as possible, yet example to get started would be. In order to get something out of this post. It’s good if you know what a bundler is Webpack and other builders.

Here we need parcel installed in our system as follows

run following command to install parcel globally

Now run, parcel index.html, this will compile everything and run a development server for you.

The SCSS files are automatically compiled. Everything that's within the entry-point file is compiled.

In my opinion, Parcel.js truly is a beast, just that the community around it is still growing and many major projects have not yet started using it. It is perfectly fine for some particular situations but if you need fine grain access to every part of the bundling process then you might need Webpack. All in all, I would say give Parcel a try because if you want you can later move to webpack. That’s easy but wasting time to setup webpack configs and then shifting to Parcel might be costly.

I like both Parcel.js and Webpack. I have started using Parcel recently and pick the one that suits every time I build something.
