Unbundled: Vite, Snowpack and the future of JS Development.
Channel: Zen of Coding
Date: 09/02/2021

Until recently, browsers didn't support JS modules, we had to "bundle" our source modules (plus the ones we "npm installed") into files that can run in the browser.
Now that browsers do support Javascript modules, we can serve unbundled files during development for a faster, snappier development experience.
