[silasjoisten]

Feature Request

I would like to provide a PR which implement the usage webpack encore

• Setup webpack encore
• install vendors via yarn (remove from Resources/public/vendor)
• use custom stylesheets, javascript files also via webpack
• remove bower

Dependencies

Vendors

• AdminLTE2
• famfamfam (still needed?)
• jQuery
• jQuery form
• jQuery scrollTo
• jQuery UI
• mansonry
• readmoreJS
• slimScroll
• waypoints
• xEditable
• iCheck
• Bootstrap (corebundle)
• fontawesome (corebundle)
• ionicons (corebundle)
• datetimepicker (corebundle)
• select2 (corebundle)
• momentjs (corebundle)

Custom

• colors.css
• layout.css
• styles.css
• tree.css
• jquery.confirmExit.js
• Admin.js
• sidebar.js
• treeview.js

Benefits

• only one css, javascript file
• easier adding styles, javascripts
• usage of sass or less
• easy update of dependencies for example jQuery

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?
