Now this is something I'd highly recommend any JS developer to watch

This is absolutely brilliant. Attaching a storyline to this was genius. This is how everyone learns; through context and use cases. Keep to this style of tutorials and this channel will sky rocket. Well done 💯

History in tech is important. Someone needs to do a video of the history of the internet (from a network point of view)

We transpile typescript to javascript then transpile javascript to older versions of javasript for wider browser support and then the browers JIT compile the javascript it loads to run the actual code. Even without webpack, different loaders, webassembly and the other stuff going on it's complex enough.

Just amazing, every new person getting into web dev should watch this video. I can't believe you don't have more subscribers.

Amazing video! With every part you explained WHY something was needed. This is missing in most of explanation videos on the internet. Thank you!

This video is awesome. In just 25 minutes you explained the whole modern javascript paradox. How a simple button click in JavaScript is evolved to be so complex. Thanks a lot it made me understand concepts that are very confusing.

This video is really helpful to me. When I dive into Huge numbers of libraries from single page with HTML CSS JS. it really drive me crazy. But thank your sharing. I understand a lot and get a clearness feel.

I'm honestly impressed with how good this was to give and idea about how we ended up using all of these tools in the modern web development. Thanks for your effort!

This is the best explanation I've come across... Most videos are too long and too minified. Thank you for this ❤️

This entertaining and very eye opening when it comes to the past couple decades of web development. I hate when people use simple examples that have been simplified so much that they don't represent reality anymore. But your example was as simple as it needed to be but no more. It's really cool to see how it all really works and how it came together.

this is just beautiful, i had a lot of troubles understanding what webpack, babel were, and where are they exactly used, but this video just puts everything together in a brilliant way, thank you for the video

This really confused me too when I started learning web development. Now I have a great resource to refer to other people thanks! On another note, I see you have a few videos on testing using Jest, Cypress, etc. I personally am quite new to testing I understand there are different types of tests like unit testing, integration testing and end to end tests. I know what each of them are but I do not understand how they all come together in one project? Would be great if you could do a similar overview type video on how all these are implemented in a production application.

As a newbie this was great. Struggled today with some jest testing presets and had absolutely no idea what was going on. I think I solved it because the error went away but I am worried the test was just skipped. Luckily I have no idea how to check which tests was skipped or not so I can go to bed without worry.

awesome video man ! i do have a quick question tho , when you reached the part of using react and imported React from 'react' what tool was responsible to resolve the location of 'react' or to be more precise the actual location of the file that contains the React object

@LachlanMiller

Ай бұрын

Whatever runtime you are using will resolve modules using its own pre-determined rules. In this video the runtime is Node.js. You can google "node.js module resolution algorithm" or read here. nodejs.org/api/modules.html#loading-from-node_modules-folders In Node.js if the import is not a relative path, it will look in `node_modules` and then find the `package.json` for the module. In there it looks at specific fields like "main", etc.

If given the choice, would you support ES5? It seems a lot of this complexity comes from supporting old browsers.

@LachlanMiller

3 жыл бұрын

Depends, last job I worked we had a lot of users on IE11 (hospitals) so we just used babel to target es5. Nowdays browsers can actually load es modules natively via , so depending on your project you might not even need webpack, just a simple typescript build that exports modules, but I think a pre-configured setup (vue cli, create react app) is probbly the way to go.

Let's always do alot of good

One question: if webpack bundles everything (including third party modules) into bundle.js, doesn't that ever get too big for the browser? The Gatsby library has 1200+ modules; I would assume the bundle.js would be absolutely massive.

@LachlanMiller

Ай бұрын

You can load modules async, so the initial bundle isn't huge. But yes, some libs have really huge bundles - I do not think there is any upper limit, I have worked on apps with 20mb of JS. This takes a long time to parse in the browser. Things like gzip, minify, etc can make it a lot smaller.
