Asset Bundler

Definitions

  1. A tool that combines and transforms frontend assets such as JavaScript, CSS, images, and modules into optimized output for development or production delivery. Asset bundlers often handle dependency graphs, code splitting, minification, and file hashing as part of the build process.

    In plain English: A build tool that packages frontend files into deployable output.

    Example: "They swapped asset bundlers because the old one struggled with modern ESM imports and incremental rebuild speed in the monorepo."
