This PR adds support to use this repo as an NPM/Yarn package so we can use it with Webpacker or any other assets bundler.
I implemented this so it uses the same source files as the Rails gem so any change in the JS and CSS is available in both cases. I didn't change the Rails gem-related code this same repo can be used in both ways. The separate entry point
searchable_select_pack.js
is needed to support theimport
(ES6 syntax).After pack&publish NPM module has minimum files and should look like:

How you can test the package locally before merge&publish:
package.json
and replace in scripts sectionsprepublishOnly
onprepack
;npm pack
(you should have installed Node.js)yarn add /path-to-local-project-repository/activeadmin-searchable_select
, wherepath-to-local-project-repository
is full path in your system (example:/Users/username/workspace/activeadmin-searchable_select
), or relative path (example:../activeadmin-searchable_select
);import '@codevise/activeadmin-searchable_select'
intoapp/assets/javascripts/active_admin.js
or any other entry point file for javascripts in your project.@import '@codevise/activeadmin-searchable_select';
intoapp/assets/stylesheets/active_admin.scss
or any other entry point file for stylesheets in your project.//= require active_admin/searchable_select
etc..);yarn remove @codevise/activeadmin-searchable_select
.After the PR is merged, you can run
npm publish --access public
(Instruction) from master branch to publish scoped NPM package on the https://www.npmjs.com/, or I can do it myself.Resolve #35
