How to make webpack accept optional chaining without babel

Scenario:

  • We're using webpack 4 to create a bundle from our Javascript sources.
  • We're not using Babel because we're authoring only for a single platform (latest Chrome), and we're only using features directly available in Chrome, thus no transpiling is required.

The plus side of this is a smaller bundle, and much faster turnaround times while developing.

Now we would like to start using the stage 4 optional chaining feature which can be enabled in Chrome using a flag.

I've tried to google this, and all I was able to find is that babel has a plugin for this.

Question: Is there any way to make webpack accept this syntax while omitting babel?

Here's what webpack currently reports:

ERROR in ./src/js/components/custom-select.js 245:12
Module parse failed: Unexpected token (245:12)
You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type, currently no loaders are configured to process this file. See https://webpack.js.org/concepts#loaders
|      */
|     focus() {
>         this.input?.focus();
|         return this;
|     }
 @ ./src/js/components/components.js 16:0-49 16:0-49

Relating to @Klaycon's answer, Acorn released today a new version that supports optional chaining. As soon as Webpack reflects the change on their side- using optional chaining with webpack shouldn't be a problem anymore.

According to this similar issue, webpack relies on the parser Acorn and thus presumably needs Acorn to support optional chaining first. Acorn has an open pull request here for optional chaining, but in the meantime, a "solution" suggested by a user in the first issue is to disable parsing on the files you need optional using module.noParse until such a time that Acorn and webpack support the feature.

Update: Optional chaining is now supported in Acorn as of v7.3.0, and according to this webpack issue comment, it sounds like they don't expect webpack to support it until webpack 5 releases. The progress to webpack 5 can be tracked here.
