Checklist:

• Compilation.hooks.normalModuleLoader is deprecated (Type 'apply' method of plugins webpack/webpack#8358)
  • MIGRATION: Use NormalModule.getCompilationHooks(compilation).loader instead
• MainTemplate.hooks.requireEnsure removed
  • Looking for alternatives.

finally webpack 5 is out the door and the hooks api has been uplifted.

thanks for this. is there anything left that needs to be done? looks like webpack 4 integrity has been kept in tact

[ScriptedAlchemy]

ahh wait, i see you are still investigating the second half.

[ScriptedAlchemy]

I’ll also start looking into this. Will speak to my people at webpack

@ScriptedAlchemy Sorry for missing your message was quite busy on other tasks. Thanks for picking this up ❤️ I will try to follow your works and help if possible.

Supports webpack 5 now. I’ve been working on WP5 Core - I wrote Module Federation:)
