Fixes https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/11864
This uses an environment variable because the build script assumes you want a production build, but we don't for this particular script. To avoid having a mess of NPM scripts to worry about, we'll just pass a flag down.
This moves the babel and postcss configs into the webpack config for ease of maintenance (and because we need variations of them). The typescript config is left outside the webpack config for IDEs to pick it up.
This corrects our path handling on Windows development machines for
paths referenced in JS and HTML files. Both images and fonts (like
Twemoji) were afflicted (with Windows-style backslash path delimiters),
but browsers seems to tolerate them in the `src` attribute of images, so
we didn't notice that variant before.
Most `npm` operations are replaced with `yarn`, which generally has better
behavior. However, steps like publish that write to the NPM registry are left to
`npm`, which currently handles these tasks best.
This change causes Node to crash during builds in some configurations. It also
grows the production bundle size to ~4x what it was before.
This reverts commit 9f4ce2dcf2.
The path adjustment for assets in bundles is only needed with CSS files. Paths
referenced in JS files are written to elements, where they are relative to the
document.
This adds a `file-loader` rule to the Webpack build so that any requests for
image resource will be output into the app's output directory, but with an extra
content has appended so that we can safely use a long cache lifetime.
The CSS and SCSS rules are also changed to use `css-loader` so that any `url`
inside is automatically processed by the new image rule above.
* Turn off node integration in the electron renderer process
* Enable the chromium sandbox to put the renderer into its own process
* Expose just the ipc module with a preload script
* Introduce a little IPC call wrapper so we can call into the
renderer process and await on the result.
* Use this in a bunch of places we previously used direct calls
to electron modules.
* Convert other uses of node, eg. use of process to derive the
platform (just look at the user agent)
* Strip out the desktopCapturer integration which doesn't appear
to have ever worked (probably best to just wait until
getDisplayMedia() is available in chrome at this point:
https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/4880).
