Sagui vs System.js: What are the differences?
Sagui: Front-end tooling in a single dependency. Sagui is all about good defaults. It is the single development dependency you need to worry about, taking care of build, tests and the development server; System.js: Dynamic ES module loader. It is a Universal Module Loader for JavaScript. If you've used RequireJs or a CommonJs bundler in the past, you have probably created modules.Configurable module loader enabling dynamic ES module workflows in browsers and NodeJS.
Sagui and System.js can be primarily classified as "JS Build Tools / JS Task Runners" tools.
Sagui and System.js are both open source tools. It seems that System.js with 9.75K GitHub stars and 852 forks on GitHub has more adoption than Sagui with 693 GitHub stars and 31 GitHub forks.
I could define the next points why we have to migrate:
- Decrease build time of our application. (It was the main cause).
- Also
jspm install
takes much more time thannpm install
. - Many config files for SystemJS and JSPM. For Webpack you can use just one main config file, and you can use some separate config files for specific builds using inheritance and merge them.
Pros of Sagui
Pros of System.js
- Great plugin system1
- Loads anything trough AMD with the right plugin1
