Remove server

[jenniferabowd]

This example is very convoluted. I think we can just remove the server to simplify it.

@jenniferabowd In removing the server, will we just be hard-coding those values from into the template itself?

If that's all, please assign me to this, and I'll take care of that. Otherwise, would you mind clarifying the work required here? Thanks!

[jenniferabowd]

Yeah, I’m good with them being hardcoded! Thank you so much for your help!

[brandonmcconnell]

@jenniferabowd Sure thing! I'll get on these in the next day or two. Flying tomorrow 🛩️

[jenniferabowd]

Safe travels!

Hi, I wanted to check-in on this. If you don't think you are going to get to it, I can unassign you. Also, no rush if you are working on it or got busy with travel!

[brandonmcconnell]

@jenniferabowd Hey! Yeah, I did get pretty busy with my travels, and I'm not sure when I'll have time next week to circle back to this.

I did make some major headway, so what may be best is if I open a draft PR with the changes I've made so far, so someone can pick up where I left off. Hopefully shouldn't be too much more work involved.

[jenniferabowd]

Oh awesome! That's a great idea! Thanks for helping out with this!

@jenniferabowd If you wouldn't mind leaving this assigned to me, I should be able to dive in more next week. Looks like webpack 5 was a pit of a dependency here, so IK just went ahead and did that upgrade, but because the two branches are intertwined/stacked, we'll need to push both simultaneously.

[jenniferabowd]

Cool! I think what would be most helpful is having one folder for Webpack 2 and another folder for Webpack 5. I believe the solutions for those versions of Webpack is pretty different, so I figured having both in this repo would be helpful. Thank you so much for all of your help on this!

[brandonmcconnell]

@jenniferabowd Looks like that should be possible using version aliasing, mentioned here.

Considering the lift that was involved in upgrading webpack 2 → 5, I can only imagine this might be a pretty sizable lift too, so it might help to merge everything open now first and then go back and re-add examples for webpack v2.

@jenniferabowd If you haven't already seen my comment re the intended merge order, please read that first, here.

Could you also please assign me to all those tickets before merging to ensure I'm attributed to their merge?

[jenniferabowd]

Sure! Let me review this code. Would you be okay if I go into your PR and do what I meant with the 2 webpack versions? What I had in mind shouldn't take too long.

[brandonmcconnell]

@jenniferabowd Of course! Make any changes as you see fit
