Replace webpack with modd #33
Conversation
Webpack is currently only used for automatically compiling the elm sources and reloading in the browser. The tools modd/devd do the same with much less boilerplate. No need to have the npm machinery. https://github.com/cortesi/modd https://github.com/cortesi/devd Current version v0.6 of devd doesn't support serving SPAs with non-hash-routes. See this related issue: cortesi/devd#38 Since we don't want to use hash-routes, we will not use this modd/devd setup as long as devd doesn't support them.

(Prepare to) use modd and devd instead of npm and webpack Webpack is currently only used for automatically compiling the Elm sources and reloading in the browser. The tools modd/devd do the same with much less boilerplate. No need to have the npm machinery. Current version v0.6 of devd doesn't support serving SPAs with non-hash-routes though, which may change in the future. Since we don't want to use hash-routes, we will not use this modd/devd setup as long as devd doesn't support them. So this PR is currently on hold. |

Another option to keep in mind would be It's a npm package with a standalone cli tool, much easier to configure than webpack, keeps colors from elm-make out of the box and does hot reloading. Unfortunately it currently has the same restrictions on SPA routing as |
