@curiostack/base-web-0.1.0

This is the first release of @curiostack/base-web 0.X.Y. To celebrate, let's review some of its features.

Notable Features

Initial versions of this framework were directly inspired by react-boilerplate. It's a great framework and base-web attempts to have similar features without keeping the boilerplate code in the user's repository.

• Least amount of boilerplate for developing a React web client with best practices inspired by react-boilerplate. Even package.json scripts don't need to be set. Version upgrades will apply naturally as there is no boilerplate in user code to keep in sync
• A webpack loader and react component for fully responsive images. Specify viewport widths for images and a variety of sizes will be automatically generated and served using a picture tag to give the best user experience
• A fallback module resolver to reduce dependency problems in monorepos. Both webpack and normal node invocations (like jest) will respect the fallback definitions, and unlike other solutions that only allow defining a single alias, the fallback resolver can check a list of them in order (used to work around core-js 3 / 2 dependency conflicts)
• Any site can be prerendered using a simple configuration of routes and globals.

Breaking changes

• styled-components-ts dependency is not listed anymore. If you still use styled-components-ts, you can add it into your own package.json, but it's highly recommended to migrate to styled-components official typescript bindings which work out of the box
• Significant prettier whitespace changes. You will probably want to run :yarn_run_fix first after upgrading before trying to build projects.

Bug fixes

• The fix script (i.e., ./gradlew :yarn_run_fix) did not actually output fixes
