We've replaced the sprockets `//= require` directives with ES2015
imports. As a result, the ActionCable javascript can now be compiled
with rollup (like ActiveStorage already is).
- Rename action_cable/index.js.erb -> action_cable/index.js
- Add rake task to generate a javascript module of the ActionCable::INTERNAL ruby hash
This will allow us to get rid of ERB from the actioncable javascript,
since it is only used to interpolate ActionCable::INTERNAL.to_json.
- Import INTERNAL directly in ActionCable Connection module
This is necessary to remove a load-order dependency conflict in the
rollup-compiled build. Using ActionCable.INTERNAL would result in a
runtime error:
```
TypeError: Cannot read property 'INTERNAL' of undefined
```
because ActionCable.INTERNAL is not set before the Connection module
is executed.
All other ActionCable.* references are executed inside of the body of a
function, so there is no load-order dependency there.
- Add eslint and eslint-plugin-import devDependencies to actioncable
These will be used to add a linting setup to actioncable like the one
in activestorage.
- Add .eslintrc to actioncable
This lint configuration was copied from activestorage
- Add lint script to actioncable
This is the same as the lint script in activestorage
- Add babel-core, babel-plugin-external-helpers, and babel-preset-env devDependencies to actioncable
These will be used to add ES2015 transpilation support to actioncable
like we have in activestorage.
- Add .babelrc to actioncable
This configuration was copied from activestorage
- Enable loose mode in ActionCable's babel config
This generates a smaller bundle when compiled
- Add rollup devDependencies to actioncable
These will be used to add a modern build pipeline to actioncable like
the one in activestorage.
- Add rollup config to actioncable
This is essentially the same as the rollup config from activestorage
- Add prebuild and build scripts to actioncable package
These scripts were copied from activestorage
- Invoke code generation task as part of actioncable's prebuild script
This will guarantee that the action_cable/internal.js module is
available at build time (which is important, because two other modules
now depend on it).
- Update actioncable package to reference the rollup-compiled files
Now that we have a fully functional rollup pipeline in actioncable, we
can use the compiled output in our npm package.
- Remove build section from ActionCable blade config
Now that rollup is responsible for building ActionCable, we can remove
that responsibility from Blade.
- Remove assets:compile and assets:verify tasks from ActionCable
Now that we've added a compiled ActionCable bundle to version control,
we don't need to compile and verify it at publish-time.
(We're following the pattern set in ActiveStorage.)
- Include compiled ActionCable javascript bundle in published gem
This is necessary to maintain support for depending on the ActionCable
javascript through the Sprockets asset pipeline.
- Add compiled ActionCable bundle to version control
This mirrors what we do in ActiveStorage, and allows ActionCable to
continue to be consumed via the sprockets-based asset pipeline when
using a git source instead of a published version of the gem.
