cannot use imports in webpack

[gdbd]

Hi, i am found your plugin very useful,
but i cant use it because my webpack.config.js cannot use import syntax used in plugin code:
"import path from "path";
import fs from "fs";" ...

with this error:
`
import path from "path";
^^^^^^

SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

`

other plugins used require syntax and work

how to use it in this case?

We use webpack.config.babel.js internally (e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/a/31906902)

But this is a good point, we shouldn't use imports for an external facing plugin. We'll change to require, but you should be able to use https://stackoverflow.com/a/31906902 in the mean time :)
