Hello Webix team!
I’m trying to understand WebixJet start app webpack configuration and have some trouble with resolve.alias option.
Could you provide some explanation about “jet-views” and “jet-locales” aliases magic?
Why are we need these aliases?
Best regards
Alexandr
Webix Jet autoload the view classes based on the current page url. For example, in case of “index.html#!/some/page” it needs to load two classes for “some” and “page” elements. Currently, it loads them like
require(“jet-views/”+name)
which results in jet-views/some and jet-views/page URL. Because of the alias settings in webpack.config they are loaded from the actual “views” folder
We have used an alias instead of hardcoding “/views” path to make this part configurable. If necessary, you can change webpack.config and define new folders for autoloading views.
Thank you very much for your explanation!
