| After the following discussion https://matrix.to/#/!zdPfnFC0pUfwN5kZ4LKP2dXZ2jC266yFWKNeqgmJd4E/$v0UxX7d_Ql5TvgVFp0c7_Gw0-07D6WeOGoKzZwEBgcg?via=matrix.xwiki.com&via=matrix.org&via=uni-wuppertal.de We concluded that in the context of xwiki we need a fine-grained way to provide frontend artifacts.
This is currently not easy, especially with javascript modules. We propose to introduce a mechanism to declare importmap (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/script/type/importmap) directly in the metadata of webjars.
Then to
- scan them for inconsistencies (e.g., dependency declared but not available in the dependencies section)
- automatically scan for webjars with a provided importmap declaration, merge them, and automatically inject them in the header
