Webpack vs SystemJs/JSPM

I was using SystemJs with JSPM for all my profjects and it feels soo amazing. It is easier as never before to use frontend libraries, with JSPM I can do it in few simple steps:

  1. command line: jspm install angular
  2. index.ts|js: import * as angular from 'angular'

Do Webpack have something similar to JSPM packages manager or there is only one option to use standard npm packages manager?

Solution

  • I found a good article to compare JSPM with Webpack: http://ilikekillnerds.com/2015/07/jspm-vs-webpack/

    It appears that Webpack doesn't use any package manager.
    But it isn't needed because we can simply use npm to install front-end libraries into the node_modules folder and then require it in app.
