* Update core to use new Webpack and TSConfig
* Bump webpack dep
* Update JS build action
* Copy custom `.d.ts` files to `dist-typings` folder on typings compile
* Run workflow against action v2
This allows us to have a moving tag, like first party actions have.
* Remove bundle analyzer from core
* Use webpack config 0.1.0-beta.16.2
* Add note about checking flarum-tsconfig
* Remove `lodash-es` dependency
* Replace `escapeRegExp` with home-made util
* Replace `throttle` with `throttle-debounce` library
* Use native browser methods for `deepFlatten`
We need a polyfill for iOS 11 and below. I think using a native method with this polyfill is better than having our own function instead, even if the bundle size is ~150B more.
* Save a few bytes in `escapeRegExp`
* Fix typo in comment
* Undo import re-organisation
* Use spread instead of slice
* Use smaller Array.flat polyfill from MDN
* Export new utils in `compat.js`
* Add option to build with webpack bundle analyzer
* Bump npm to v7 as recommended in actions/setup-node#213
* Workaround for npm/cli#558
* Add missing dep
* Bump dependencies and add missing typing libraries
* Fix expose-loader breaking changes
* Expose jQuery using its own typings instead of ours
* Extend jQuery typings with our own custom $.fn helpers
* Use jQuery typings for Component's `this.$` attribute
* Format webpack config file
* Use Spin.js 3.1.0
(Below steps already performed, but kept for future reference.)
Head here to get auth ID: https://service.bundlewatch.io/setup-github
Create repo secret called `BUNDLEWATCH_GITHUB_TOKEN` with the token inside
We previously used the tobscure/m.attrs.bidi github repo, but that repo was recently taken offline. We decided to integrate it as a util instead of publishing it as a separate package since we seem to be the only project using it, and adopting it into a new project requires barneycarroll/mattr, which does not seem to be used anywhere.
The code added here was taken from https://github.com/askvortsov1/m.attrs.bidi, a fork (without changes) of the tobscure repo. Support for alternative module systems and ways of registering bidi were removed, and the file was formatted in compliance with our prettier config.
* Update frontend to Mithril 2
- Update Mithril version to v2.0.4
- Add Typescript typings for Mithril
- Rename "props" to "attrs"; "initProps" to "initAttrs"; "m.prop" to "m.stream"; "m.withAttr" to "utils/withAttr".
- Use Mithril 2's new lifecycle hooks
- SubtreeRetainer has been rewritten to be more useful for the new system
- Utils for forcing page re-initializations have been added (force attr in links, setRouteWithForcedRefresh util)
- Other mechanical changes, following the upgrade guide
- Remove some of the custom stuff in our Component base class
- Introduce "fragments" for non-components that control their own DOM
- Remove Mithril patches, introduce a few new ones (route attrs in <a>;
- Redesign AlertManagerState `show` with 3 overloads: `show(children)`, `show(attrs, children)`, `show(componentClass, attrs, children)`
- The `affixedSidebar` util has been replaced with an `AffixedSidebar` component
Challenges:
- `children` and `tag` are now reserved, and can not be used as attr names
- Behavior of links to current page changed in Mithril. If moving to a page that is handled by the same component, the page component WILL NOT be re-initialized by default. Additional code to keep track of the current url is needed (See IndexPage, DiscussionPage, and UserPage for examples)
- Native Promise rejections are shown on console when not handled
- Instances of components can no longer be stored. The state pattern should be used instead.

This allows us to get started with converting all Flarum JavaScript code to TypeScript.
In addition, we will have time to experiment to find the best Webpack configuration before integrating into flarum-webpack-config.
See flarum/flarum-webpack-config#3.
* Run extenders exported by extensions
* Add some basic extenders
* Patch Mithril as the very first thing so extension code can run safely
* Load the payload into the app before booting extensions
* Setup default routes before booting extensions
* Replace gulp with webpack and npm scripts for JS compilation
* Set up Travis CI to commit compiled JS
