webpack 5 support

[hmnd]

In webpack/webpack#9138, the RuleSet class being used in lib/plugin.js has been refactored and no longer exists. This makes webpack 5 throw a MODULE_NOT_FOUND error when trying to build.

anyone knows a workaround for this ?

[JorisAerts]

Based on the changes on vue-loader, I also modified the plugin.js and created a plugin-webpack4 and plugin-webpack5 and it seems to work at first sight.

So, is there already someone in the process of fixing this? Is there an official fix pendig?

If you've made the changes already feel free to open a pull request.

Add webpack 5 support #160

@bloodlit How is your PR different from mine (#158) created 2 days ago?

[Hecatron]

Any news on this?, this would be useful since webpack 5 has inbuilt support for yarn2's pnp
and we have at least 2 pull requests in now for the same thing

@grbd The last commit was 3 months ago, perhaps author is currently busy with the transition to version 3 and cannot accept pull requests
Perhaps a temporary fork would be a good solution.

I think I'll need to go back to webpack4 anyways since there's some issues when using web-dev-server with webpack5 in combination with yarn v2 pnp

webpack/webpack-dev-server#2820

I want to use this with the new Laravel Mix 6 and webpack 5 support is needed.

@alekbless take the lib folder from the branch add-webpack5-support
