Pika Pack vs Webpacker: What are the differences?
Developers describe Pika Pack as "📦⚡️ npm package building, reimagined". @pika/pack connects pre-configured plugins to build and optimize your package for you. Plugins wrap already-popular tools like Babel and Rollup with options already optimized for npm. This lets @pika/pack build your package without much (if any) configuration required on your part. On the other hand, Webpacker is detailed as "Use Webpack to manage app-like JavaScript modules in Rails (by Rails)". Webpacker makes it easy to use the JavaScript preprocessor and bundler Webpack to manage application-like JavaScript in Rails. It coexists with the asset pipeline, as the purpose is only to use Webpack for app-like JavaScript, not images, css, or even JavaScript Sprinkles (that all continues to live in app/assets).
Pika Pack and Webpacker can be categorized as "JS Build Tools / JS Task Runners" tools.
Pika Pack and Webpacker are both open source tools. Webpacker with 4.29K GitHub stars and 894 forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Pika Pack with 1.73K GitHub stars and 23 GitHub forks.
