[Koha-devel] Using Vue.js in Koha plugins

[Jonathan Druart]

Hi David,

I have not investigated how we could split and reuse Vue components
from Koha plugins.
But Paul Derscheid told me webpack is legacy and we should move to
Vite or Turbopack instead.

Cheers,
Jonathan

That way we could include the vue.js library code wherever we might want it, and only load the erm.js application code on the ERM page(s). Perhaps we could split other re-usable components out as well.
