V3 Roadmap

[verekia]

Hey everyone. It's been more than a year since the last update of JS Stack from Scratch, which is a lifetime in the JS ecosystem. A major update is long overdue. Here are the changes to come:

Changes

• Updating all the packages
• Babel 7
• ESLint 5
• A more modern syntax (like JS destructuring, async / await)
• Express -> Koa
• Webpack -> Parcel (as soon as they support Babel 7)
• Bootstrap -> Material UI
• PostgreSQL with Knex
• CRUD operations
• Authentication
• E2E tests with Puppeteer
• HOC
• Redis
• Docker
• GraphQL
• Prettier
• Dotenv
• Joi
• Removing Immutable, Travis, Coveralls, some unit tests

The tutorial will offer using 🌹Sharyn as an opt-in, a library I've created specifically for projects that use this stack.

Timeline

1st milestone

I need to work a bit more on Sharyn and the Sharyn Boilerplate first.

2nd milestone

Updating the boilerplate (sneak peek of v3) of the tutorial to reflect these changes.

3rd milestone

Updating the walkthrough code of individual chapters.

4th milestone

Updating the instructions.

After that, translations can start.

A better alternative to Material UI that is moreover officially supported by Google: Material Components for React (MDC React)

@gfortaine Can you elaborate on how it is better than Material UI?

[gondar00]

I would suggest using react-semantic ui. Pretty solid.

Awaiting impatiently. Can we see the progress on some branch?

You can take a look at the files in https://github.com/verekia/js-stack-boilerplate/tree/v3 but it is far from being final. As long as the commits contain "WIP", it means it's pretty much broken. In a week from now the final boilerplate should be ready. If you want to submit issues already, please open them on the boilerplate repository. @mifrej

Thanks for insight @verekia I see already some cool additions docker, parcel-bundler (no webpack 😮 ?). Cannot wait for the final version!

Hey folks, I've updated the description to mention that I'm currently working on https://github.com/sharynjs/sharyn which is a huge help to reduce the boilerplate code of V3 as an opt-in. Feel free to take a look at the repo. Thanks for your patience.
