I've had a several requests from people to allow npm modules to load their script, sass files and assets as they would a plugin.
A designer was trying to use the npm module
browser-fs-access
but was having difficulty loading the scripts from node_modules. This PR adds support for a new json file/app/plugin-proxy.json
that contains a proxy plugin config for the module that treats the npm module as a plugin which solved his issue neatly:I'm suggesting this be introduced as it will not affect anyone who has not created the
/app/plugin-proxy.json
file with a view to documenting the use of this at a later date. For now it gets over the issue of wanting something to be a plugin without hard coding it for everyone.
