Use Webpack to manage app-like JavaScript modules in Rails

Webpacker

Webpacker makes it easy to use the JavaScript preprocessor and bundler Webpack to manage application-like JavaScript in Rails. It coexists with the asset pipeline, as the purpose is only to use Webpack for app-like JavaScript, not images, css, or even JavaScript Sprinkles.

It's designed to work with Rails 5.1+ and makes use of the Yarn dependency management that's been made default from that version forward. You can either make use of Webpacker during setup of a new application with --webpack or you can uncomment the gem and run bin/rails webpacker:install in an existing application.

FIXME: Write the rest...

Work left to do

• Add Babel as a default loader
• Consider chunking setup
• Consider switching to Webpack 2.0
• Consider on-demand compiling with digests when digesting=true
• I'm sure a ton of other shit
