• Get typeahead working see Typeahead not working #65
• Popper is not loading when using webpacker
  Fixed using the solution from here: Bootstrap dropdown require Popper.js (https://popper.js.org) twbs/bootstrap#23381 (comment)
• Get Bookmark toogle working see checkbox_submit not working #70
• Get checkbox submit working see when you click to bookmark it works, when you "unbookmark" it errors #71
• Figure out how to deploy to production https://webpack.js.org/guides/production/ see Deploy code using Capistrano #25

this was the missing piece: twbs/bootstrap#23381 (comment)

everything else wasn't needed

i told justin coyne about it, hopefully he will update https://github.com/projectblacklight/blacklight/wiki/Using-Webpacker-to-compile-javascript-assets

i guess i could but that seems out of step

two things ain't working still:

// require('blacklight-frontend/app/javascript/blacklight/checkbox_submit')
// require('blacklight-frontend/app/javascript/blacklight/bookmark_toggle')

uncommenting results in errors.

also we need to document dev instructions

also we need to know how to deploy to prod before we can call this done for real
