An proposal for a better webpack_static

[culshaw]

It would be really helpful if webpack_static had a twin which had the ability to take a static file then perform the same magic that happens by default with render_bundle.

For example:

{% render_bundle "js/myBundle.js %}

outputs

<script src="https://localhost.dev/static/myBundle.22e6caaab91a7c8e5758.js" integrity="sha256-dwhlwjqtPE+IiaX9FOmAAaMA0d+CqSq2kiQ7OcFm1aM=" ></script>

but an "unbundled" static file

{% webpack_static "js/myAsset.js" %}

outputs

/static/myAsset.js

Could there be a middle ground called asset_bundle where running

{% asset_bundle "js/myAsset.js" %}

would output

<script src="https://localhost.dev/static/myAsset.22e6caaab91a7c8e5758.js" integrity="sha256-dwhlwjqtPE+IiaX9FOmAAaMA0d+CqSq2kiQ7OcFm1aM=" ></script>

Pretty please 🙏

I think webpack_static mimics django static templatetag.
