Parcel: npm install parcel or parcel bundler?

[dgwyer]

There seems to be two modules available on npm:

parcel
parcel-bundler

I'm confused as to which one should be used. Is there any difference, and why do both exist if they are the same?

[DeMoorJasper]

They are identical only difference is that plugins usually rely on parcel-bundler, so it's better to use that one.

I'm still confused why there are two identical modules. You're saying that if you install parcel that bad things can happen with some plugins?

[FDiskas]

Question should be still open :ltu:

[BBlackwo]

Would be much less confusing to just have one

This really doesn't make sense. The documentation isn't even consistent. Github page says parcel the website says parcel-bundler

[mischnic]

The github page is for Parcel 2, which is only available as parcel. The website are the docs for version 1

[AshotN]

Can there be a banner that explains that the website is for V. 1

I spent a lot of time without figuring that out, it might help some other people.

I can open a separate issue if you like as it seems this one is resolved.
