What this package is used for?

This package is used to group all dependencies needed by a partner widget. It helps to reduce the package compilation time and improves the client side cache reuse.

How to use this package?

This package defines a webpack dll. In order to use it in a widget package:

• add integration-dll in the package dependencies
• in the webpack configuration, reference the dll:

    const webpack = require('webpack');

    module.exports = {
        ...
        plugins: [
            ...
            new webpack.DllReferencePlugin({
                context: '.',
                manifest: require('./node_modules/@talentsoft-opensource/integration-dll/dist/integration-manifest.json')
            }),
            ...
        ],
        ...
    }

This way, if a dependency is referenced in integration-dll is imported in the widget package, webpack won't add it to the widget bundle and will instead load it from integration-dll.

Warning: It seems that importing a less dependency from a less file doesn't work well with the webpack dll system. In order to make it work correctly it is necessary to place all imports in a js/ts/tsx file.
