instapack 8 TODO

[ryanelian]

• TypeScript-ESLint integration TSLint is deprecated. Research into TypeScript-ESLint integration #394

• Change silent global setting to mute

• Change hot flag to serve

• Change nodebug flag to no-sourcemaps

• Enable hidden source maps on production mode build.

• Allow translation of an array of TypeScript paths to an array of webpack aliases: Feature: resolve alias array of directories webpack/webpack#6817 (should notify user when this happens) This is blocked by webpack Type Definition. (@types/webpack@4 Alias does not allow array unlike version 5 https://github.com/webpack/webpack/blob/master/declarations/WebpackOptions.d.ts#L749)

• Enable HTTPS on Webpack Dev Server Hot Reload: Add HTTPS Server Development Guide #507

• Configure html-loader options. Revert to instapack classic template loader for back-compat and accurate source mapping, but dropped .vue.html file compilation.

• Allow Copy Overwrite using --cow flag when using copy build tool.

• For the love of God, simplify variables loading. Adding build flag / project options to instapack should not make me edit 6 files.

• Auto download mkcert if not available on Windows OS Path, store in user instapack folder.

• Force package restore using npm if package-lock.json exists.

  • Then force package restore using yarn if yarn.lock exists.

• Bug report to vue loader about HTML loader order breaking build.

  • Tracking this issue at vue-loader errored when html-loader is defined BEFORE it in webpack 5 configuration. vuejs/vue-loader#1625

• Allow user to explicitly / manually define which libraries in node_modules to transpile. Detect and transpile only ES5 libraries...

Try switching from clean-css to postcss-csso https://github.com/css/csso (don't fix what's not broken lmao)
