actiontext.js is compiled as ESM bundle instead of UMD bundle.
This leads to issues when trying to use ActionText with sprockets because the ESM bundle declares variables like they are scoped to the file but sprockets will see them as scoped globally.
This is a problem, in particular, if you want to mix actiontext with
turbo-rails.
The problem got introduced in https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/46447.
I traced valid compilation back to
https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/42895.
This commit mimic changes made in
https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/42895 to ActiveStorage:
Retains app/assets/javascripts/actiontext.js as a UMD package for backwards compatibility with
bundling in the asset pipeline, but also adds app/assets/javascripts/actiontext.esm.js for use
with ESM via importmap in the browser.
* Action Text JS should be available via the asset pipeline too
* Main was a module anyway, no need to reference that twice
* Fix rollup references
* Precompile action text JS for asset pipeline
* No JavaScript dependencies needed with the asset pipeline
* Stub Webpacker::Engine to trigger webpack path for testing
* Extract asset paths
* Exercise asset pipeline path
* Terser doesn't do anything useful on this small package
* Make trix directly available to the asset pipeline
* Indirect doesn't carry its worth
* Reminder for development about keeping things in sync for the asset pipeline
* Ensure this isn't turned into undefined while mirroring
* Mirror Trix CSS for asset pipeline
* Add the needed JS include tag automatically under the asset pipeline
* Please RuboCop
* Keep the peer dependency
Even though we also need it explicitly as a dev dependency in order to generate the mirror output for trix.
* Fix test
* Add CHANGELOG entry
