Trying to get an understanding what the difference is and how these work with webpack.

Let's say I have a library I want to bring in. In this case sweetalert2 https://github.com/limonte/sweetalert2

I then import that into my package.json as "sweetalert2": "^6.6.5"

Now inside a component I can simply reference like so: import swal from 'sweetalert2'; Everything works fine and sweetalert2 is imported into my main-client.js

What is the need to add that to the vendor.js via webpack? Is that the 'main-client.js' is built up on the fly vs the vendor.js which is built at compile time? I must be missing something here.
