Jetpacker

This is a fork of rails/webpacker with hacks to get darn webpacker to work with the Jets framework. Credit goes to the original authors of the webpacker gem:

• David Heinemeier Hansson
• Gaurav Tiwari

Looking for maintainers to help with asset compiling for jets. webpacker seems to be the current preferred solution for compiling assets. The JavaScript world is a bit all over the place though 😱 Unsure if there is a better approach and will consider them. Feel like this current approach is a bit madness 😂

Summary of Changes

Summarizing the changes because they're impossible to remember 🤦🏻‍♂️

• Comment out require "webpacker/railtie"
• Replace Rails.env with Jets.env
• Replace Rails.root with Jets.root
• Add back rake_tasks.rb because the Jets CLI uses it create the webpacker rake tasks
• add Jets.version to info command
• Fix generators by using Rails::Generators::AppGenerator directly instead of bin/stubs
• 2 separate versions: Jetpacker::VERSION and Webpacker::VERSION
• Default extract_css: true

Happy Hackin' 😁 Tung

Upgrade Notes

If you run bundle so that jetpacker is updated. IE:

bundle update
# or
bundle update jetpacker

You can update the webpacker-related files with:

jets webpacker:install

Then update the manually the environment.js

config/webpacker/environment.js:

const { environment } = require('@rails/webpacker')
const webpack = require('webpack')
environment.plugins.prepend('Provide', new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
  $: 'jquery',
  jQuery: 'jquery',
  Popper: ['popper.js', 'default']
}))

module.exports = environment

This adds jquery so the crud.js works.
