07/17/2019, 6:00 PMcouple of development questions about kolide/fleet: 1) Are there plans to split the API code from the frontend code? 2) Are there plans to support better frontend development tooling (latest webpack, hot module replacement, webpack dev server, etc)

API and frontend are already split. The frontend uses the API. I intend to upgrade webpack and other dependencies soon. HMR would be awesome but I'm not sure how difficult that is to get in.

Yeah I actually just did the Webpack 3->4 upgrade for osquery.io and it sucked but I got it working eventually.

Figured I could use that experience to do the same for Fleet.

Nice, thanks for checking it out. I'm going to merge that branch. As far as HMR goes I'm not planning to implement that as we are currently not using the webpack dev server or middleware so I think it would be quite a bit of work.
