Webpack bundlesize compare action

An action that compares 2 webpack compilation stats files, and comments on the PR with a description of the difference

How to use it

In your application, ensure you output the stats.json, from `BundleAnalyzerPlugin'

// webpack.config.js
const {BundleAnalyzerPlugin} = require('webpack-bundle-analyzer')

// optionally you can also output compressed/gzipped stats. Requires a version >=1.1.0
const CompressionPlugin = require('compression-webpack-plugin')

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    ...plugins,
    // not required
    new CompressionPlugin(),

    // required
    new BundleAnalyzerPlugin({
      // generate the stats.json file
      generateStatsFile: true
    })
  ]
}

Then, in your action configuration, build both the head and the branch (in any way you see fit) and pass paths to the stats.json files as inputs ot this action
