commit 5305329 Author: Robert Mills <robcmills@gmail.com> Date: Sun May 24 12:36:31 2020 -0700 Begine implementing action to download a bulk data object This commit surfaces the failure of an inline worker to import external modules, under the umbrella of CRA's webpack config. At this point it looks like we will have to either fork CRA or start rolling our own build config. commit d599313 Author: Robert Mills <robcmills@gmail.com> Date: Mon May 18 21:52:03 2020 -0700 Add basic proof of concept
This commit finally cobbles together a working POC that includes a worker module written in typescript that can import other modules. One example usage is implemented partially, the downloadBulkDataObjectWorkerAction that kicks off a "worker job" to download bulk data and hydrate it into indexedDB.

Unfortunately CRA does not support web workers. Workers are integral and essential to the architecture of serverless magic, aka Hexproof.net
So this PR introduces our own custom webpack config to support them via workers-loader.
CRA was a good tool to bootstrap this project and get started, but now we are moving away from it in favor of rolling our own config.
