Rucksack JavaScript and CSS Bundler

Rucksack is a JavaScript and CSS bundler built atop Vite, designed to simplify the asset bundling process for modern web applications. Currently stable at version 7.1.1, the package receives relatively frequent minor and patch updates, often aligning with new Vite releases or internal dependency bumps. Major versions, such as the transition from 6.x to 7.x, introduce significant dependency upgrades and can include breaking changes like increased Node.js version requirements. Rucksack differentiates itself by providing a streamlined, opinionated API over raw Vite configurations, allowing developers to quickly set up bundling for local and remote JavaScript and CSS assets, and automatically generate corresponding HTML markup. It aims to abstract away much of Vite's complexity while still allowing access to the underlying Vite configuration for advanced customization.
