webpack without asset pipeline: method_missing: undefined method assets for #<Rails::Application::Configuration

[gingerlime]

Can lit work without the asset pipeline? our Rails app uses webpack and we removed the asset pipeline. Running rails g lit:install produces this error

...
        1: from /usr/local/bundle/gems/lit-1.1.1/lib/lit/engine.rb:10:in `block in <class:Engine>'

I don't think we support webpack-only projects for now (maybe if we were able to finally get rid of some frontend dependencies like jquery etc.). Maybe there is a way to adjust the code for webpack-only projects but we are not able to investigate it now and in the near future. If you have any ideas please submit the PR
