Seperate options object logic from argv && Transformation Parser about webpack-cli

Hello @carlos-

I've just added an asciidoc diagram in the features wiki page: https://github.com/webpack/webpack-cli/wiki/Features-definition---v1

The same structure, would be at a point expressed in the folder structure, which we are defining in #52

• https://github.com/webpack/webpack-cli/blob/master/bin/process-options.js#L147
• https://github.com/webpack/webpack-cli/blob/master/bin/process-options.js#L178
• https://github.com/webpack/webpack-cli/blob/master/bin/process-options.js#L138

1. Remove inquirer types as we don't need several, we only use one.

[pksjce]

We might use list or checkbox types also right?

[evenstensberg]

We'll see how the parser and transformation package turns out. We should export inquirer and all needed resources as a utility suite to develop an addon. Reserved this from npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/webpack-addon

@kenwheeler @DanielaValero @pksjce Seems approachable?

[DanielaValero]

Hi @ev1stensberg it looks like the diagram is referring to the init and that this issue is about the refactoring and migration of the options we pass to the compiler via the cli, which are currently available in webpack.

I'd think about the structure of webpack-cli, more like in two big areas:

1. init && migrate: which are consuming the validation and transformations of code
2. <options>: which are sending options to the compiler, to tell it to perform specific tasks.

I will prepare later today a graph to share somewhere here, to illustrate this, and will try to add some more details. Later on, we can all feed it, and detail it wherever is required, in order to have a clear idea of where what belongs.

Does it make sense?

@DanielaValero, it makes total sense to me. I like the idea of organizing the architecture that way. did you finish the graph?

Closing this for now, going to do a write up on a Higher Order ticket.
