## 📦 Minipack

> A simplified example of a modern module bundler written in JavaScript

### Introduction

As front-end developers, we spend a lot of time working with tools like [Webpack](https://github.com/webpack/webpack), [Browserify](https://github.com/browserify/browserify), and [Parcel](https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel).

Understanding how those tools work can help us make better decisions on how we write our code. By understanding how our code turns into a bundle and how that bundle looks like we can also debug it better.

The purpose of this project is to explain how most bundlers work under the hood. It contains a short implementation of a simplified but still reasonably accurate bundler. Along with the code, there are comments explaining what the code is trying to achieve.

### Cool, where do I start?

Head on to the source code: [src/minipack.js](src/minipack.js).

### Try running the code

Start by installing dependencies:

```sh
$ npm install
```

And then run our script:

```sh
$ node src/minipack.js
```
