webpack it! about yew HOT 5 CLOSED

It could work similar to how elm works with webpack where a user requires an elm file and that builds into a self contained app.

Closing because we now have a template project using webpack here: https://github.com/yewstack/yew-wasm-pack-template

@TheLarkInn @deniskolodin This issue from cargo-web summarizes some of the problems faced in a webpack integration: koute/cargo-web#24

Hi, Sean! It's cool! I haven't tried to use it with webpack yet. I am sure we need your help with that. 👍 But I don't even know where to start. yew works similar to elm: it removes body content and rebuilds it itself. How it could work? Do we need to add some integration? Maybe provide special entrypoints of API? Or maybe there were wrong questions and we should do something else? )

@deniskolodin && @TheLarkInn so, just to chime in here, the wasm-bindgen ecosystem already has a slew of examples on rust -> wasm -> webpack -> js use cases. There may be a great deal of value in moving towards interoperability on that front.

This path provides deeper interoperability with the JS community, and would unblock my team on a few of the final items which we need in order to use Yew in a production context. Namely, interop with Webpack would allow for a robust bundling pipeline for things like SASS & other assets.

I don't intend for this to be an inflammatory question, by any means, but if we decided to move down the wasm-bindgen path, which allows for interop with tools like webpack & parcel, then what would cargo web be needed for??? @machineloop I mostly bring this up in response to your comment above, as I know that this is something we'll need to address.

After doing some reading through related issues in this repo, wasm-bindgen & cargo-web repos, it looks like — potentially — not too much is actually needed in order to close this gap.

• rustwasm/wasm-bindgen#197 (comment) seems to indicate that there is one specific crate, maybe a few, which are causing problems with using Yew in the wasm-bindgen context right now.

Thoughts?
