Add Parcel Bundler doc

[eldk]

Hello,

Not sure if it helps but proposed.

Tested and used with V5 alpha.

Thanks,

Eric

Preview: https://deploy-preview-30909--twbs-bootstrap.netlify.app/docs/5.0/getting-started/parcel/

That being said, I'm not sure if this gives any value? I mean, it's the same procedure as webpack.

Hello,

Not at all.

Simply use this import 'bootstrap' don't work. I also needed to add as bootstrap to avoid building errors and have bootstrap js available (I don't remember the case).

You should check with (src/index.js - Parcel 6.14.5):

if (typeof bootstrap !== 'undefined' || bootstrap !== null) {
    console.log("Popover version : " + bootstrap.Popover.VERSION);
} else {
    console.log("index.js : Bootstrap undefined");
}

Thanks,

Eric

@mdo WDYT?

[Johann-S]

I'm not a big fan of doing a separate page for all the bundlers 🤔

[mdo]

I don't mind having separate pages for key tools and more from the ecosystem. If anything it boosts our visibility and usability across multiple communities and gives folks a solid starting point inside our own docs.

[mdo]

Pushed a bunch of updates to simplify and standardize:

• Removed some headings, sentence cased some other headings
• Removed the CSS snippets and defer folks to the extensive customize section w/ details on Sass
• Combined and clarified JS import options
• Buttoned up some copy

[XhmikosR]

@mdo my only problem is listing this and parcel in Getting Started. We should probably add a parent submenu later.

Branch rebased.

[XhmikosR]

I don't really like rm -rf because it doesn't work on Windows.

[eldk]

@XhmikosR See there parcel-bundler/parcel#1234

[XhmikosR]

Yes, I'm aware of shx, but you don't use it here nor there is a comment that this won't work on vanilla Windows cmd :)

[mdo]

Yeah good point. And while we’re thinking about it, what else could we do for guides like this? Are there more languages and tools?

[XhmikosR]

@mdo not sure but maybe we should land this after the Windows issue is sorted out, and we add a new parent page later.

[XhmikosR]

@eldk care to take care of the rm issue?

[eldk]

Hello @XhmikosR ,

I have no windows device, so I can't test it.

I think this should be used :

"prebuild": "rmdir /Q/S \"build\""

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/rmdir
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50696920/configuring-package-json-on-windows

Maybe should someone test it to confirm it's OK ?

Thanks,

Eric

[XhmikosR]

@eldk now the docs will only work on Windows 😛 Maybe just go with npx rimraf build?

EDIT: scratch my first point since you added a s separate section. But I think with the npx solution we can make this cross-platform.

[eldk]

But I think with the npx solution we can make this cross-platform.

That's ok for me.

[mdo]

@XhmikosR Do we need this in the beta, or can it wait until v5 stable or v5.1.0?

[XhmikosR]

It can wait, but it's ready I think. We could probably create a new subgroup named Bundlers and move Webpack and Parcel and whatever new shows up in the future, or leave it as is for now.
