Create full-stack web apps and components with this Quarkus extension. It offers zero-configuration bundling and minification (with source-map) for your web app scripts (JS, JSX, TS, TSX), dependencies (jQuery, htmx, Bootstrap, Lit etc.), and styles (CSS, SCSS, SASS).
- Production build
- Awesome Dev experience
- Integrated with NPM dependencies through mvnpm or webjars.
- Build-time index.html rendering with bundled scripts and styles
- Server Side Qute Components (Qute template + Script + Style)
Is it the same as Quinoa? It is very close but:
- It is already integrated with a bundler (esbuild, which is very similar to Webpack or Rollup)
- NodeJS is not needed
- It works without any configuration
- All the npm catalog is available directly as dependencies in your pom.xml/build.gradle
When should I use Quinoa instead?
- I have a dedicated UI team very familliar with the NodeJS eco-system
- I need a very specific NodeJs/Bundling configuration that the web-bundler does not cover
How to test my Web App without Jest or similar?
Use @QuarkusTest
with Quarkus Playwright.
It is very easy to create full-stack tests to cover all your scenarios (and re-using all the backend testing data).
Can I swith from Quinoa to the Web Bundler?
Yes, just move your web-dependencies to the pom.xml/build.gradle and follow the web-bundler structure, the output app should be the same.
Can I swith from the Web Bundler to Quinoa?
Yes, you just need to use a framework (like Vite) and switch to a package.json and follow your framework structure, the output app should be the same.
All the information you need to use Quarkus Web Bundler is in the user documentation.
