Are there any pros to replace Webpack with Parcel when using Angular 4+ version?


I'm wondering is there any solid reason I should replace Webpack with Parcel in Angular 4+ versions? I mean there are a lot of configuration from the Angular team which are specific for Webpack and I'm wondering is it worth it? Will there be any functionality that cannot be replaced? Why should I or shouldn't do it?


Solution

  • Parcel is just easier to setup by yourself (it has 0 config, like, legit) and you don't have to worry about it.

    In case of angular, if you are using angular CLI, this has a bunch of configs out of the box that are going to be updated when its necessary so you don't have to worry about it.

    If i'm starting a new project (without any cli of similar things) i would stick with parcel, otherwise go with the default one.
