react-boilerplate v3.5.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2017-09-22 // over 6 years ago

  • 🍱 The eagle has landed 🎉

    As always, thank you to all of our awesome contributors, community and team members!!

    🆕 News

    🚀 So, a few things have changed in the JS ecosystem since the original release of React Boilerplate, and there was a discussion in #1776 around the it's future. TLDR; we had two incompatible PRs — one for server-side rendering, and another for react-router v4. The community decided that we would keep our dependencies up to date (upgrade react-router) and establish a clear mission for React Boilerplate:

    🐎 React Boilerplate is a rock-solid foundation for crafting large, high-performance enterprise-grade frontend web applications that have advanced/custom requirements.

    • Static output designed for CDN and edge caches
    • Extreme Developer Ergonomics
      • Parallelized Tests
      • DLL manifest in development for blazing rebuilds
      • Scaffolding tools
    • 👍 Pre-baked i18n support
    • Low level tooling that gives developer complete control

    👷 We may include SSR in a future version, but for now this is our focus... create-react-app and next.js are doing an awesome job and strongly recommend these projects for most use cases.
