Add Parcel.js support

[iRON5]

Hello guys, first of all thank you for such a nice toolbox. You make long term development much easier.
However, I discovered that there is only one option to build and serve pages by use of Webpack. This is not a simple tool by default and wrapping it to another complex config makes the entry threshold much higher.
Out of the box this toolbox already has its Webpack config and if I need to extend it then I need to spend a long time trying not to shoot my leg.

These days there is at least one popular tool like https://parceljs.org which is a zero-config bundler with much better performance. For me as for regular developer it has enough features so I should not care about how to customize it. But even for some edge cases there are many plugins. So could you please provide a plugin that allows to use Parcel.js instead of Webpack?

That sounds like a good idea! However, we have no plans in providing a core plugin for parcel as we don't use it for production.

I think this would be a great candidate for a community maintained plugin. Would somebody be interested in maintaining a plugin for integration with ParcelJS?

I was able to resolve my parcel issues using Aliases in the package.json.

@seriouscoderone There's no longer a "module resolution" section in the ParcelJS. Is this the comparable section: https://parceljs.org/features/dependency-resolution/#package-entries
... or this:

how is it? are you considering developing it? it would be really cool to have this feature, parcel builder, it delivers a lot of really cool optimization features and in a very simple way to implement. I just met and I'm very surprised

I can try to develop, can someone give me an initial support so we can find the best way before getting down to business?

Did you ever receive guidance on creating a plugin?

It is strange to me that Rspack is supported but Parcel is not. Rspack is insignificant by all metrics in comparison to Parcel. Indeed, when searching for Rspack, I frequently just get the NX plugins for it, because if not for NX, Rspack would practically not exist.
