My point was not that you must use ES6 modules— my point was that webpack does NOT use ES6 modules so it must include a framework for importing, exporting, and otherwise consuming the bundles.
Serious questions, please don’t dance around them:
How is what I described above still Vanilla JS?
Would you consider using TypeScript to be Vanilla JS? Why or why not?
Would you consider using lo dash to be Vanilla JS? Why or why not?
Also, Vanilla JS is pedantic. The point is that you don’t need any of these tools to make a website or web app.
I personally like the tools I use, I don’t care about vanilla js. But you can’t just try to argue it’s not obviously meant to not include a bundling or transpiration step.
Furthermore, making a site/app with everything being vanilla js EXCEPT for also using Webpack is certainly as admirable— but it makes it not vanilla js.
