@alan-agius4 out of curiosity, do you guys have a timeline to try out the beta? I suppose it would be good to validate that webpack 5 is in a good shape for Angular CLI while it's still in beta

Will this issue also include the module federation as discussed in https://github.com/sokra/slides/blob/master/content/ModuleFederationWebpack5.md?
If this is the case, then I'm very exited! The work that's been put into this will in my opinion revolutionize how we build frontend applications.

As support to Webpack 5 and support to Module Federation are two different streams that will probably not be implemented in the same PR we are tracking Module Federation support on issue #17556

@alan-agius4 is there a fork somewhere where a development is done? may be community can contribute.
alan-agius4 commentedon Sep 8, 2020
Unfortunately, Webpack 5 has a lot of breaking changes and therefore adding support for it is not trivial feat.
@clydin is working on this and has already landed a number of small PRs to make this happen gradually.
Can you use the current
masterbranch if you are interested in contributing in any way.alan-agius4 commentedon Sep 30, 2020
Experimental opt-in support for Webpack version 5 have been added in v11.0.0-next.3.
See #18820 for more information.

Webpack 5 is needed for Angular-Cli to work on Mac and other Unix once again. as per : webpack/webpack-dev-server#2754

when will it be available in a mainline npm version? pointing to github is sometimes entirely impossible behind corporate proxy. and in a corporate context pointing to non official versions as a whole is discouraged.

Version 11 prerelease versions are already on NPM, and you can update your application and try out the prerelease versions by running
ng update @angular/cli --nextangular-automatic-lock-bot commentedon Nov 5, 2020
