Support for also bundling the importmaps dependencies? about parcel-plugin-import-maps

[FlorianRappl]

Any reason for sticking with an outdated unsupported bundler? Why not go for Parcel 2, Vite, esbuild, ... you name it?

I don't think it can be added - because even if generally it could be supported, Parcel 1 has no real configuration and there are problems already getting the importmap from the HTML (but even without that requirement it would be pretty difficult).

What I would recommend is to use the parcel-plugin-codegen and parse the HTML / get the dependencies in with this approach.

More details about codegen you can find here: https://dev.to/florianrappl/getting-bundling-superpowers-using-codegen-2no8

Advantage is that this plugin is available for essentially all bundles; making this part of your code quite transportable.

thank you for your hint. I was not aware that this is for parcel 1 and outdated. Maybe archive it? That would be a clear sign.

[FlorianRappl]

Yeah agreed (well - all the commits say 4 years and the project itself is still valid / just that it's quite uncommon that people still use Parcel v1; it was a great bundler but it has not received any updates and has fallen behind)

(the hint with the codegen loader is still valid though - I think this way you can already solve it in P2, too)
