Generating relative paths

[thewilkybarkid]

Related to #134, is there a way to generate relative paths rather than root-relative?

I'm achieveing the same in Parcel with --public-url ./, but doesn't seem like --canonical-root can support it?

No, that's not supported. We felt that root-relative paths were the safest default, because of things like <base href=...> and font urls in the JavaScript-based preload polyfill. It'd certainly be possible to add a --prefer-relative switch, but it would come at the expense of some extra complexity.

Could you write a few lines about your use case?

@thewilkybarkid, turns out it wasn't that much of a complication to implement 😅. Could you see if #136 does what you need?

It's only for local development, where it's not necessarily being served from the root (PhpStorm's built-in server doesn't, likewise loading directly from the filesystem). Easy to work around by using serve or similar.
