Everything's a plugin Understanding webpack from the inside out
summary
Claims that everything is a plugin, shows webpack built from composable hook instances and that the core plugin runtime is a tiny tapable ~200 lines library. Walks through concrete components: compiler, compilation, resolver, module factory, parser, templates, explains how dependency graph traversal produces chunks and renders bundles, notes TypeScript-style JSDoc type checking, points to example repos and a workshop, and recommends using webpack 5 with working plugin-driven architecture.
