Angular CLI vs Webpacker: What are the differences?

Angular CLI: A command line interface for Angular. A command-line interface tool that you use to initialize, develop, scaffold, and maintain Angular applications. You can use the tool directly in a command shell, or indirectly through an interactive UI such as Angular Console; Webpacker: 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).

Angular CLI and Webpacker are primarily classified as "JavaScript Framework Components" and "JS Build Tools / JS Task Runners" tools respectively.

Angular CLI and Webpacker are both open source tools. It seems that Angular CLI with 21.9K GitHub stars and 7.02K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Webpacker with 4.29K GitHub stars and 894 GitHub forks.

Ivolutia, Modularity, and Payfactors are some of the popular companies that use Angular CLI, whereas Webpacker is used by Cambridge Brain Sciences, JetThoughts LLC, and Gratify Commerce. Angular CLI has a broader approval, being mentioned in 8 company stacks & 18 developers stacks; compared to Webpacker, which is listed in 7 company stacks and 5 developer stacks.

What are some alternatives to Angular CLI, Webpacker?

gulp

Build system automating tasks: minification and copying of all JavaScript files, static images. More capable of watching files to automatically rerun the task when a file changes.

Webpack

A bundler for javascript and friends. Packs many modules into a few bundled assets. Code Splitting allows to load parts for the application on demand. Through "loaders" modules can be CommonJs, AMD, ES6 modules, CSS, Images, JSON, Coffeescript, LESS, ... and your custom stuff.

Grunt

The less work you have to do when performing repetitive tasks like minification, compilation, unit testing, linting, etc, the easier your job becomes. After you've configured it, a task runner can do most of that mundane work for you—and your team—with basically zero effort.

Ant Design

An enterprise-class UI design language and React-based implementation. Graceful UI components out of the box, base on React Component. A npm + webpack + babel + dora + dva development framework.

Brunch

Brunch is an assembler for HTML5 applications. It's agnostic to frameworks, libraries, programming, stylesheet & templating languages and backend technology.

Angular Universal

It executes on the server, generating static application pages that later get bootstrapped on the client. This means that the application generally renders more quickly, giving users a chance to view the application layout before it becomes fully interactive.

Angular Material

Sprint from Zero to App. Hit the ground running with comprehensive, modern UI components that work across the web, mobile and desktop. It allows to create material styled angular apps fast and easy.

Parcel

Parcel is a web application bundler, differentiated by its developer experience. It offers blazing fast performance utilizing multicore processing, and requires zero configuration.

PrimeReact

PrimeReact is a rich set of open source UI Components for React.

rollup

It is a module bundler for JavaScript which compiles small pieces of code into something larger and more complex, such as a library or application. It uses the new standardized format for code modules included in the ES6 revision of JavaScript, instead of previous idiosyncratic solutions such as CommonJS and AMD.
