Topic: MBD Pro jQuery 4.12.0 Module Entry JS File for Webpack

dlakhter free asked 5 years ago

Expected behavior

The git repository should have an entry point js file that imports all of the modules under /src/js to be able to build using Webpack.

Actual behavior

There is a /src/js directory with individual scripts and an obfuscated (webpack built) /js/mdb.js. The Gulp downloadable version provides a /js/modules.js file but since the directory structure in that project is different it's not really usable. Can you provide a /js/modules.js with imports in Git that can be used with webpack (or any other packager)?

I think I got it to work without any obvious build/run time errors. Everything may not work though. I'm not using most of these scripts.

Webpack entry point adapted from gulp version for git version:

Also had to add the following to my webpack config to run it through babel as some files are using ES6. I shim for IE11, which may or may not be evil:

            {
                test: /\.js$/,
                exclude: {
                    test: path.resolve(__dirname, 'node_modules'),
                    exclude: [
                        //force transpile of MDB even though it's in node_modules
                        path.resolve(__dirname, 'node_modules/mdbootstrap-pro'),
                    ],
                },
                use: [
                    {
                        loader: 'babel-loader',
                        options: {
                            presets: [
                                ['@babel/preset-env', {
                                    useBuiltIns: 'usage',
                                    corejs: 3,
                                    debug: true,
                                }],
                            ],
                        },
                    },
                    'eslint-loader',
                ],
            },
    /////////////////////////////////////////////////
    //without this jQuery won't resolve in many files
        new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
            $: 'jquery',
            jQuery: 'jquery',
            'window.$': 'jquery',
            'window.jQuery': 'jquery',
        }),
