Most of the terminal emulators auto-detect when a URL appears onscreen and allow to conveniently open them (e.g. via Ctrl+click or Cmd+click, or the right click menu).
It was, however, not possible until now for arbitrary text to point to URLs, just as on webpages.
Note:
When this guide is more complete, the plan is to move it into Prepack documentation.
For now I put it out as a gist to gather initial feedback.
If you're building JavaScript apps, you might already be familiar with some tools that compile JavaScript code to equivalent JavaScript code:
Webpack 4 automatically polyfilled many Node APIs in the browser. This was not a great system, because it could lead to surprisingly giant libraries getting pulled into your app by accident, and it gave you no control over the exact versions of the polyfills you were using.
So Webpack 5 removed this functionality. That means you need to make changes if you were relying on those polyfills. This is a quick reference for how to replace the most common patterns.
For each automatically-polyfilled node package name on the left, this shows the name of the NPM package that was used to polyfill it on the right. Under webpack 5 you can manually install these packages and use them via resolve.fallback.
