Upcoming Webpack5 compatibility

[aaarichter]

Hi @DanielSchaffer ,

with webpack5 at it's doorstep, I noticed that with webpack@next (v5.0.0-beta7) the following line https://github.com/DanielSchaffer/webpack-babel-multi-target-plugin/blob/c7e8dddd20a5828ec40ba78b805ad855e1b3ebd9/src/babel.target.multi.entry.plugin.ts#L4 throws:

⬢ webpack:  { Error: Cannot find module 'webpack/lib/MultiModuleFactory'

It looks like v5 changed their /lib structure

@aaarichter hey, thanks for letting me know. I'll have to poke around with v5 a bit.

[shurygindv]

@DanielSchaffer, do you have plans to up-to-date (dev)dependencies to the latest?) or it may redundant now.. (package.json) 🙂

(sorry for an improper topic)

[DanielSchaffer]

@shurygindv I've sort of been avoiding it unless there's a security vulnerability, or something I need. You know, "if it ain't broke..." Is there anything in particular you're interested in?

[moderndeveloperllc]

@DanielSchaffer Not sure what packages @shurygindv was concerned about, but core-js 2.x is no longer developed. Can't imagine updating that would really affect much, but it would keep uf from seeing the deprecation warning every install!

So as webpack@5 has been released today, is there any plan for supporting it?

[DanielSchaffer]

@Austaras There is a "yes, I'd (ideally) like to do that" intention, but no specific or documented plan as of yet. I'm currently finishing up a milestone on another (personal) project right now, and I can put some energy towards supporting v5 once that's wrapped up. I'm also open to community submissions, of course :)
