support for webpack 5

[SagnikPradhan]

Its been 6 months. Any scope of this issue being reopened?

I probably won't pursue webpack v5 support for another six months or so to let it stabilize. If someone would like to submit a PR to support it, I would welcome that however.

If someone wants to open a PR I'll check it out. But Webpack is completely obsolete. You should be using Vite or ESBuild.

The error shown seems to be a webpack-hot-client specific problem (as its trying to call a method that no doesn't exist anymore for webpack 5), not a koa-webpack problem.

Thankfully, it seems there's already a PR open to fix it here: webpack-contrib/webpack-hot-client#116

This won't happen until webpack v5 stabilizes. look for Snowpack and create-react-app to officially support it, and that's when this packay will follow.

21 months since. Any plans?
