nwb v0.17.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2017-06-17 // almost 7 years ago

  • 💥 Breaking Changes

    Webpack Dev Server has security features which you may need to configure your way around if you're using --host or if your development setup involves hitting the dev server from a different host.

    Please create an issue if you're affected by this change and there's something nwb can do to mitigate dev server problems without compromising security.

    React components/libraries

    • 🏗 A --[keep-]proptypes flag replaces --no[-wrap]-proptypes to disable wrapping of propTypes in React component project builds so they'll be stripped from a production build.

    🛠 Fixed

    • 🏗 The process will now exit with a non-zero code when a Webpack build completes with errors [#290]
    • 🛠 Fixed transpiling of ES2017 features when use of a stage-X preset is disabled with babel.stage = false config.
    • 🛠 Fixed hmre = false Express middleware option for disabling use of React Transform to attempt to handle Hot Module Reloading for React components and render() error display [#263]

    Preact

    • 🛠 Fixed importing React components when serving a Preact app - this was missed when fixing preact-compat configuration issues from v0.16.0.

    ➕ Added

    Arguments

    • ➕ Added a --no-clear[-console] flag to disable clearing of the console when running the dev server.
    • ➕ Added a --no-html flag to disable creation of an index.html file if you don't need one (e.g. you're serving your built apps via another means) [#278] [[bwendt-mylo][bwendt-mylo]]

    Commands

    • ➕ Added an nwb web (run|build) command for quick development with vanilla JavaScript (i.e. you're in charge of rendering).

    🔧 Configuration

    • ➕ Added devServer config to configure Webpack Dev Server options, which include:
      • devServer.historyApiFallback.disableDotRule can be enabled if you need to use dots in your path when using the HTML5 History API
      • devServer.https can be used to enable HTTPS
      • devServer.proxy can be used to proxy certain URLs to a separate API backend development server
    • ➕ Added a type option to nwb's Express middleware to set the project type (one of react, preact, inferno or web) manually, enabling use of the middleware without a config file.

    React

    🔄 Changed

    npm modules

    • 0️⃣ Default Babel config for react-component and web-module projects now uses babel-preset-stage-1, so you can use export extensions by default if you need to re-export a library's modules in src/index.js [#284]
    • 🏗 Default Travis CI config for react-component and web-module projects now only uses Node 6 by default for quicker builds.

    Preact

    • preact/devtools is now imported in development mode to enable use of React Developer Tools when using nwb preact run. This has also been added to the preact-app template.

    For existing Preact apps, add the following to its entry point to enable this:

      if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
    require('preact/devtools')
  }

    React components/libraries

    • 🏗 prop-types imports are now also removed from React component UMD production builds.
