bower + AMD support

[nishantkagrawal]

@rxaviers I am having issues with bower-resolve-webpack-plugin and globalize-plugin to work together.

If I install gloablize in node_modules it works fine. But globalize-webpack-plugin doesn't pickup the globalize module from bower_components.

Note that all my other modules are loaded from bower_components using bower-resolve-webpack-plugin.

bower-resolve-plugin is using existing-directory plugin to process all the stuff. When webpack hits globalize, it ignores that plugin somehow.

The following is my configuration.

resolve: {
plugins: [
new BowerResolvePlugin(),

        new webpack.optimize.CommonsChunkPlugin({
            name: ['app', 'vendor']
        }),
    ],
    extensions: ['.js'],
    modules: ['node_modules', 'bower_components'],
    descriptionFiles: ['package.json', 'bower.json', '.bower.json'],
    mainFields: ['main', 'browser']
},

plugins: [
    new globalizePlugin({
        production: true, // true: production, false: development
        developmentLocale: 'en', // locale to be used for development.
        supportedLocales: ['en'], // locales that should be built support for.
        messages: 'messages/[locale].json', // messages (optional)
        output: 'globalize-compiled-data-[locale].[hash].js', // build output.                
    }),
],

The following is the error:

ERROR in ./generated/typescript/webpack-vendor.js Module parse failed: \generated\typescript\webpack-vendor.js Cannot find module 'globalize' You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type.

Am I missing a sequence in which the plugins should be setup or anything else?

The basic repo to reproduce this problem is here

Do you have any temporary workaround for this?

[rxaviers]

Hi @nishantkagrawal, sorry but I haven't used myself this plugin with bower. Are you using AMD?

[nishantkagrawal]

@rxaviers, Yes I am using AMD.

[rxaviers]

Yes I am using AMD.

Interesting...

Globalize itself indeed supports either CommonJS or AMD, but this webpack plugin only supports CommonJS (for history/context, please see globalizejs/globalize#441). Therefore, this plugin deliberatively disables the AMD portion of Globalize UMD wrapper (dev code prod code).

If you have a better idea to make this plugin work smoothly by CJS and AMD users, feel free to submit your thoughts and a PR.

Thank you
