Specify, what folders to include in the compilation process. This limits the scope, might reduce compilation time and will resolve errors outputted to the console during build.
After running `make cockpit/devel`, the generated files do not pass `npm run build`, outputing failures and making dev console and output of `npm run build` cluttered with errors.
This excludes `/pkg` folder during build time, removing the errors.
It was necessary to do a bit of plumbing to get typescript, webpack &
vitest all happy. To do this we had had to create a separate tsconfig
for the on-prem version and the service frontend.
We override the module resolution for both config files. For on-prem we
check modules in `pkg/lib` and for the service we resolve the modules to
stub functions of the `cockpit` & `cockpit/fsinfo` modules. This was so
typescript and webpack would not complain.
For on-prem we had to intruct webpack to resolve modules from both
`node_modules` and `pkg/lib`. While for the service we set the
resulotion for the two modules to false, which means they won't get
bundled with the service.
Lastly, we needed to set some aliases in the vitest config so that
vitest could resolve the `cockpit` & `cockpit/fsinfo` modules.
Using the cjs `require` keyword to import cockpit would have worked to
make typescript and webpack compile since these imports are not
statically analysed like the `import` keyword is. However, this approach
broke the tests as `require` imports are not supported in vitest.
The `<ReleaseSelect>` component now uses RTK instead of DDF. Some
additional small changes were necessary due to Typescript - in
particular, we use a Map() to store the releases (in order to ensure
they appear in the correct order) and .tsconfig had to be modified to
allow iteration over the Map() object.
This commit adds the initial setup for using Typescript in our project.
The tsconfig.json is very minimal at this point, we will introduce
stricter rules as our Typescript migration progresses.
