Enable Emmet CodeMirror to Work in Webpack/ES6 Environment

[quezo]

Hi Sergey. I work at CodePen and we just got done integrating Emmet CodeMirror using Webpack/ES6. I wanted to share the changes we needed to make to make it all work.

I was able to properly load Emmet CodeMirror by adding a global reference to the CodeMirror class in the main.setup function. Since we import CodeMirror as a module it isn't available on the window object. I wanted to touch the least amount of code so I stored a reference to the CodeMirror class on window.

I also removed the check that looks for CodeMirror on load.

I then updated the package.json main file to point to emmet-wp.js Last I created a dist action that builds emmet with webpack with the production flag.

Thanks!
I don}t personally like making a global references so I’ll refactor it a bit. I’ll ping you when I’m done

Hey Alex,
I just updated webpack branch with:

• no global variable for CodeMirror class
• more ES6 module compliance
• use Webpack by default instead of Gulp

Can you check if it works for you as expected?

@sergeche This works great. I had to make some changes to how we imported Emmet CodeMirror. I created a very simple Gist showing how we import it in case it's any help to the next person.
