This idea is based on my limited knowledge, so hoping that folks can steer this in the right direction. Could we move to a model where plugins assume that a “module” exists named foremanVendor and all requires for thirdparty modules are requested through the foremanVendor module?
If something like foremanVendor.lodash was a constant I could rely on as a plugin, then I wouldn’t have to care about the relative paths or dependencies shifting inside vendor.js (I think). This seems sorta what an alias in webpack is designed for. Similar to how all of the React is reference-able using the foremanReact alias.
