Pack

Definitions

1. To bundle code, assets, or data into a single distributable unit. In build tools like webpack, packing combines modules into optimized bundles. In binary formats, packing compresses data by removing padding.

   In plain English: Combining many small files into fewer, optimized files so they are easier to ship and faster to load.

   Example: "Webpack packs 200 modules into three chunks that load in under a second."
