What’s new in Snowpack 2.0

Snowpack is a modern, lightweight build tool for web applications that leverages native browser ES modules to eliminate the need for bundling in development, thereby accelerating the build process as codebases grow. The release of Snowpack 2.0 introduced significant enhancements, including O(1) file builds that allow only changed files to be rebuilt, improving development speed and efficiency. This update also features improved automatic Hot Module Replacement (HMR) support, enhanced development environment performance, customizable build scripts, zero-config prototyping, and new Create Snowpack App (CSA) templates for various JavaScript frameworks and static site generators like React, Vue, and Svelte. These advancements make Snowpack a powerful tool for modern web development, enabling developers to streamline workflows and maintain high performance without extensive configuration.
