Possible to use with import maps? #150

Is it possible to use Ruby2JS with importmap-rails? I see instructions for Rails 7 using jsbundling, but I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same if my app uses an import map. It's a simple app, and I don't want to move up from import maps if I don't need to. I'm pretty new to Rails, and web apps generally, so forgive me if this is a no-brainer. I've just discovered this project today and I'm so excited at the prospect of writing Ruby on the frontend 🤩 |

I'm excited you're excited! 😊 So the importmap stuff I believe is a way to import 3rd party JS modules…it doesn't address any build step for the code you yourself would write. You could use the new Ruby2JS CLI to output JS files to a place where the asset pipeline picks them up. Barring that, I'm not sure if the Sprockets integration works anymore TBH. I'd much rather recommend using a loader for Webpack or another "jsbundling" option like Rollup. |

I see, thanks! It's just as well that I move up to jsbundling, since I've been getting the feeling that I'll run up against the limitations of import maps sooner or later. |
