Learn Parcel by using it! We'll build a simple, single-page application using vanilla JavaScript. We’ll later convert it into React to see how much configuration is required to build such a project using Parcel.

A Beginner’s Guide to Parcel

Preface

Building a single-page application often involves installing client-side npm packages. These libraries can’t run in a web browser. You’ll need a tool that can convert your code into a format that’s supported by browsers. According to npm download stats, webpack is currently the most popular tool that’s used to handle this conversion for you. Unfortunately, it’s not easy for most developers to configure it.
