Union with image-webpack-loader

[alexander-akait]

I think will be great to unioin with https://github.com/tcoopman/image-webpack-loader, we already supports these feature and more, so I think we should finish the next major release with more features + squoosh support ⭐ and try to union

/cc @tcoopman What do you think? I can provide more information

[tcoopman]

What do you mean with union?

I'm still maintaining but not actively developing image-webpack-loader. So if this repo is integrating more features and implementing squoosh I'm willing to point to this repo from mine.

Did you have anything else in mind?

[alexander-akait]

Yep, I mean deprecate image-webpack-loader in favor image-minimizer-webpack-plugin (describe it in readme and maybe in npm with migration guide), if you want to help us I can invite your so we can continue working on the same problem

[alexander-akait]

Plus it will allow us not to do the same job 👍

It will also make things less confusing for Webpack users 😉

[tcoopman]

@alexander-akait can you create a PR with the deprecation and migration guide?

[alexander-akait]

@tcoopman Yep, I will do it, I am preparing the next major release with many features, so I will do it together

Close due https://github.com/tcoopman/image-webpack-loader?tab=readme-ov-file#deprecated, we have a big documtation, anyway if you want to improve it, feel free to ping me or send a PR
