hipacker

library0.0.16jsnpmunverified

Hipacker is a zero-configuration web application bundler for React and Vue projects, version 0.0.16. It provides a simple CLI to start a development server or build for production with minimal setup. Hipacker requires Node.js >=8.0.0 and expects React or Vue dependencies to be installed separately. It differentiates itself by offering a single command interface for both frameworks, with optional 'vue' flag for Vue projects. However, the package is in early alpha stage (v0.0.x) with limited features, no CSS extraction, chunk splitting, or eject support.
