Improve regex for webpack.externals in Electron Example app

[bimusiek]

Problem

Current regex requires user to put needed packages in allow-list all the time.

Solution

Wouldn't it better to do

const path = require("node:path");
const nodeExternals = require("webpack-node-externals");

module.exports = {
    webpack: {
        configure: {
            target: "electron-renderer",
            externals: [
                nodeExternals({
                    allowlist: [/^(?!.*(^realm)$)/i],
                    additionalModuleDirs: [path.resolve(__dirname, '../../../node_modules')],
                }),
            ],
        },
    },
};

so we basically say, pack everything except realm.

Alternatives

How important is this improvement for you?

Fairly niche but nice to have anyway

Feature would mainly be used with

Atlas Device Sync
