WIP: upgrade to Webpack 5

[justinfagnani]

Addresses #33

I took a crack at upgrading, but I really don't know Webpack well, so I got stuck in a few places. Opening this PR in case a few of the things I got right make for a useful starting point.

Two things that are tricky:

1. There is no type webpack.Stats.ToJsonOutput. webpack.Stats is a class with a toJson() method, but I don't see any types for it's output. There are JSON schema files, so maybe it's expected to consume one of those? I tried to use the JS interface with stats.compilation, but I'm not sure if that's working yet.
2. I can't get the Vue loader to work. I get:

   [VueLoaderPlugin Error] No matching use for vue-loader is found.
   Make sure the rule matching .vue files include vue-loader in its use.
   

3. MemoryFS doesn't implement the OutputFilesystem interface correctly. I casted to any for now.

This is deprecated in favor of memfs, which is a more complete memory filesystem.

The typings are a bit incomplete here, but the JSON data is mostly the same except for a few minor changes.

hey justin 👋

the vue stuff is broken because the svelte rule is matched by the vue plugin, which breaks the loop and never reaches the vue rule.

see here: https://github.com/vuejs/vue-loader/blob/a2b89d3c44011e9c8c4af523a8d7039d9b27705c/lib/plugin-webpack5.js#L58-L66

the plugin iterates through all the rules. for each rule, it tests it against foo.vue and, if that fails, it tries foo.vue.html. in our case, foo.vue.html matches the svelte rule before the iteration has reached the vue rule.

switching them around might fix it but feels a bit delicate, easy to break again if someone isn't aware of this behaviour

i suppose really its a bug in vue-loader in that it shouldn't break the loop until it finds a vue-loader rule, if ever.

also the test fails for some unrelated error right now:

Error: Conflict: Multiple chunks emit assets to the same filename bundle.js (chunks main and runtime)

Which also reveals that we have a problem here:

https://github.com/pastelsky/package-build-stats/blob/1077b785f996c203da276ca4e576eea0743e8e6c/src/utils/build.utils.ts#L194-L221

you can see at the bottom we check if (error && !stats), but if stats was falsy then the toJson call further up would throw and be uncaught. we should probably shuffle that around a bit so we're accounting for the fact stats can be empty, rather than always calling toJson regardless

1. There is no type webpack.Stats.ToJsonOutput

webpack.StatsCompilation will do that.

3. MemoryFS doesn't implement the OutputFilesystem interface correctly. I casted to any for now.

That's fixed now

i can try pick this up if you don't have time @justinfagnani

@sokra webpack5 has its own types now i see, but it doesn't export quite a few of the interfaces it uses. for example, the changes justin has here need StatsAsset which isn't an exported interface. ideally all types exposed on exported functions/classes/etc should also be exported i think

[justinfagnani]

I definitely don't have time right now, so that'd be great @43081j !

I guess it'd be nice to file issues/PRs on Webpack to export the type interfaces needed here.

[43081j]

No worries, I'll have a go at finishing it off.

Also have opened a PR at definitelytyped to update the mini-css plugin so you don't have to cast it as any. Will see if I can get that done first
