Chunking aka code splitting

[ntucker]

One cool thing about webpack is that it allows you to output multiple bundles for production. It's not clear to me if this is even possible in the python-webpack world. If it is, some documentation would be nice, if not, it would be a great feature.

As long as webpack adds it to the list of assets emitted, it should work. There are test cases, but let me know if you have any issues.

WebpackBundle instances are a pretty thin layer on top of the compilation output, if it doesn't work to your needs, you can get the output via the instance's stats attribute.

I'll leave this open as a TODO for docs

Sorry, I think I got confused about terminology. I mean chunks. Where you get several output files based on some split of the code. Aka code splitting

#10 is still open regarding a test case. I suspect it'll work, but I've haven't tried it yet

I haven't yet had a need for this, so I haven't really spent any time thinking about a workflow.

As described above, you can introspect the compilation output to pull out paths to particular assets.
