-------------------------------------------------------------
[~Koncz] thanks for coming up with the improvement.
I have checked the repo -> [https://github.com/csabakoncz/atlas-newui
|https://github.com/csabakoncz/atlas-newui] and have few questions:
can we use webpack-dev-server instead of creating an express node server
because we need a server only for development.
Do we need typescript loader for atlas code?
We can use babel-loader for es6 which can easily be used in the current atlas
code.

Do we need typescript loader for atlas code? for backbone, we are using plain
javascript. we can use babel-loader for es6.

> While RequireJS has its merits and advantages, it might be worth considering
> replacing it with another technology.
> A bundle loader like Webpack would open up a number of possibilities:
> - use of ES6 modules, which immediately improves tooling support
> - use TypeScript, which improves tooling support even more
> - a manageable code base would enable refactoring of the JavaScript code so
> that no logic happens in the module initialization code,
> which in turn would make it possible to write tests for the JavaScript logic.
> As a POC I created a NodeJS project that transforms the current dashboardv2
> code into Webpack bundles and demonstrates
> that the UI is able to work without RequireJS.
> Right now the JavaScript sources and index.html are used unchanged,
> but the next step would be to start converting the source to ES6 modules.
> Here is the code: https://github.com/csabakoncz/atlas-newui
> The most important file there is `webpack.config.js` that takes over the role
> of RequireJS.config.
> The other file of interest might be `src/index.ts` which demonstrates the
> ability to use TypeScript code even now.
