Bundle Menas resources #314

Open GeorgiChochov opened 5 years ago

GeorgiChochov commented 5 years ago

Background

Currently, Menas has a lot of js files which are fetched separately on load. This abundance of HTTP requests slows down loading the application. This will only grow over time.

Feature

We should bundle our resources and serve them all at once.

Proposed Solution [Optional]

We can use something like

  1. https://webpack.js.org
  2. https://parceljs.org (less configuration than webpack, an interesting choice)
  3. https://github.com/eirslett/frontend-maven-plugin (maven plugin to run npm commands as part of the build)

I guess this (for most part) solved by the component preload.

Not quite, our source files are still not bundled in. #478 certainly helps, but is a different thing. A bundler would also allow transpilation (and therefore a wider browser support).

Let's put this in the icebox, but not close it.
