Need some advice regarding module loaders / bundlers
Current situation:
- SPA, consisting of about 200 AMD modules
- some of them are 3rd party, so I cannot rewrite them
- own code already rewritten to ES2017, EXCEPT for ES6 module syntax (so still using AMD)
- using text plugin & dynamic "require()" calls
- 2 build versions: ES2017 as well as 1x ES5 for legacy browsers
- loaded via requireJS, bundled using r.js and compiled using closure compiler
- dev environment runs on standard apache
So of course this setup is getting a bit old, and I am looking for a way to modernize my build process. I want to finally move from AMD to ES6 modules, but I cannot rewrite every module at once, and I am not able to rewrite any 3rd party module, so I need a solution that supports both AMD style and new ES6 module style - maybe for quite some time.
And I want to retain the ability to directly work with the source code in development. I.e. right now, I make a change in the source and reload the browser, thats it. So I don't have any transpilation steps for development at the moment, my dev browsers just run the (unbundled) ES2017 code natively.
So I do NOT want to have a complete transpilation to ES5 while developing (I am fine with minimal transpilation in the browser itself, if it only deals with loader/module specific stuff), and I also do NOT want to have any bundling there as well, just take my original source files and load them in the browser with minimal overhead in between. And I do NOT want to have another special dev server, I have to run my project on Apache for several reasons.
Now, is there any tool at all fullfils my requirements? And if yes, which one(s)? As I am bit lost on all the various options I have (in theory), any help is greatly appreciated!
PS: for actual production builds, of course I want bundling, and also transpilation at least for the "legacy build", but as this should be a no brainer, I mainly concerned with my dev workflwo for now.
