I know this is not exactly ProcessWire related, but it's still an issue I'm facing while trying to implement in a PW site. I'm trying to get Fullcalendar to work, first I included it via CDN, which worked OK, but then I wanted to implement the rrule plugin which always threw an error that I just never managed to resolve. Then I switched to installing it via npm, not least because in the long run I would like to have Fullcalendar be served locally anyway, which is the best practice (?). I followed the instructions on www.fullcalendar.io concerning the implementation via npm: import { Calendar } from '@fullcalendar/core/'; import dayGridPlugin from '@fullcalendar/daygrid'; import timeGridPlugin from '@fullcalendar/timegrid'; import interactionPlugin from '@fullcalendar/interaction'; document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() { const calendarEl = document.getElementById('calendar') const calendar = new Calendar(calendarEl, { initialView: 'dayGridMonth' }) calendar.render() }) But the calendar does not render and I keep getting this error: Uncaught TypeError: Failed to resolve module specifier "@fullcalendar/core/". Relative references must start with either "/", "./", or "../". FYI I'm using webpack to bundle it and entry and output points seem to work fine. All node_modules are visible in the file system. I don't use any framework like react, just vanilla js. Error occurs on Chrome, FF and Safari Help is very much appreciated, I already lost a couple of days over this 🙈

What build tools do people use with processwire? Most build tools I have tried are either solely designed for single-page applications or don't support bundling npm packages. So far, I have been downloading third-party libraries and including them in my html. While this works, it isn't great when you want to update to a newer version. It also involves committing often hundreds of files not associated with the project when using git. For this reason, I would like to use a package manager to handle all of the updating for me and keeping my git directory nice and clean. After doing some research, it seems that npm is by far the most popular package manager. I find this strange considering it was designed for ndoe.js which is server side software but I can look past that. I have had some experience with webpack when I was learning how to use Vue.js for making single page applications. For that purpose, it worked pretty well but was also extremely confusing at first. Everywhere I go I see webpack being recommended as the number one build tool for front-end web applications. However, I have struggled to get it working with anything that isn't a single-page application. It seems to be designed to bundle everything into one or two js files. This doesn't really work in a setup like processwire. I would like to be able to import certain css and js into pages only as needed. For instance, if I only need a slideshow on one page, it doesn't make sense to include the code that does that on every page. That's not to say you won't have some global css and js. I additionally don't like how complicated it is to setup a webpack project and how webpack imports css inside js files. I decided to try Brunch which boasts being simpler than other build tools, including webpack. I must say, I am fairly impressed with it so far with it's ease of use. But I once again ran into the problem of it being designed for single-page applications. For example, I wanted to use lightbox on a few pages. After installing it from npm, I couldn't figure out a good way to include it's css. Brunch has a setting that let's you include styles from npm packages but it includes them globally. This means every single processwire page would have css for displaying lightboxes even when I don't need them. This would work but seems to go against the whole idea of being modular. I am also trying to use uikit as an npm package to no avail. I found somebody else with similar issues but was never answered: I noticed that ryan opted to just include a static version of uikit in AdminThemeUikit. Is this the recommended way of doing things? Have I got it all wrong? Doesn't this introduce pains whenever uikit needs updating? All I want is a better way to handle all my dependencies. I have been looking for the correct way to do this and it's beginning to drive me insane
