Webpack

Hi all,
I've just tried this well done project.
The only problem that I see is that it use SystemJS. There's any chance to have webpack as well?

no news about that? just to know if it planned or not :)

There aren't any plans for webpack right now, I believe. The build process is tightly tied into broccoli since that is what ember-cli uses.

Main priorities at the moment are getting the main user stories up and going, and only afterwards give some more thought to customizability.

That isn't to say you can't use webpack though! The scaffolding doesn't really care one way or another, neither do the tests. So basically you could very well use everything the cli has, minus ng serve.

Just add in your own webpack.config.js, npm dependencies, fire up webpack-dev-server and you're ready to go!

I'm keen to to see the community acceptance of this project, without webpack scaffolding support ;)

@filipesilva thanks for the reply, but the point is why you/they decide to use SystemJs instead Webpack?

[filipesilva]

The CLI is mostly catering to the Typescript track at angular.io, which uses SystemJS. There is a section on the quickstart that touches on webpack:

There are alternatives that work just fine including the well-regarded webpack. SystemJS happens to be a good choice but we want to be clear that it was a choice and not a preference.
