CHANGELOG

0.28.0

• Don't make @babel/preset-env use forceAllTransforms option in production - this will reduce build size in production for environments that only need to support more modern browsers - #612 thanks to @Lyrkan.

• Added support with enablePostCssLoader() to process files ending in .postcss or using lang="postcss" in Vue - #594 thanks to @Lyrkan.

• Allow resolve-url-loader to be configured via enableSassLoader() - #603 thanks to @diegocardoso93.

• Support was removed from Node 9 (a no-longer-supported version of Node) - #585 thanks to @weaverryan

• [BC Break] Removed the ability to use [chunkhash] in configureFilenames(), which was already deprecated and no longer reliable - #608 thanks to @Lyrkan.

0.27.0

• [Behavior Change] The Babel configuration sourceType default was changed from not being specified (so, the default module was used) to unambiguous. This is to help Babel's useBuiltIns functionality properly determine if a require or import should be automatically added to your files, based on that file's style - #555 thanks to @Lyrkan.

• Added JSX support to Vue! #553 thanks to @Kocal.

• Cleaned up the jsdoc in index.js to add better docs and better IDE auto-completion - #550 thank sto @Lyrkan.

0.26.0

• [Behavior change] The Babel useBuiltIns option default value changed from entry to false, which means that polyfills may no longer be provided in the same way. This is due to a change in Babel and core-js. To get the same functionality back, run yarn add core-js --dev, then use:

  Encore.configureBabel(() => {}, {
      useBuiltIns: 'entry', // or try "usage"
      corejs: 3
  })

  This comes from #545 thanks to @Lyrkan.

• Added the ability to "resolve" CSS and Sass files without specifying the file extension and by taking advantage of the sass or style attribute in an npm package. For example, you can now import the main Bootstrap SASS file from within a SASS file by saying @import ~bootstrap. This will use the sass attribute from the bootstrap package.json file to find which file to load. #474 thanks to @deAtog.

• Added a new Encore.enableIntegrityHashes(), which will cause a new integrity key to be added to entrypoints.json with integrity values that can be included in the script or link tag for that asset - #522 thanks to @Lyrkan.

• Allow some parts of configureBabel() to be used, even if there is an external .babelrc configuration file - #544 thanks to @Lyrkan.

0.25.0

• [BC BREAK] Various dependency versions were updated, including css-loader updated from ^1.0.0 to ^2.1.1 and resolve-url-loader updated from ^2.3.0 to ^3.0.1. The minimum Node version was also bumped from 6 to 8. See #540 for more details.

• Added Encore.disableCssExtraction() if you prefer your CSS to be output via the style-loader - #539 thank to @Lyrkan.

• Added Encore.configureLoaderRule() as a way to configure the loader config that Encore normally handles - #509 thanks to @Kocal.

• Babel cache is no longer used for production builds to avoid a bug where the cache prevents browserslist from being used - #516 thanks to @Lyrkan.

0.24.0

• Add CSS modules support in Vue.js for Sass/Less/Stylus - #511 thanks to @Lyrkan

• Allow to use Dart Sass instead of Node Sass - #517 thanks to @Lyrkan

• Allow to set a custom context in copyFiles - #518 thanks to @Lyrkan

• Improve 'Install x to use y' and 'Unrecognized method' error messages - #520 thanks to @Lyrkan

• Allow to set @babel/preset-env's useBuiltIns option - #521 thanks to @Lyrkan

• Allow setOutputPath to create nested directories - #525 thanks to @Lyrkan

0.23.0

• Add support for CSS modules in Vue - #508 thanks to @Lyrkan

• Store externals in an array - #495 thanks to @deAtog

• Add Encore.isRuntimeEnvironmentConfigured() - #500 thanks to @stof.

• Add the ability to configure watch options - #486 thanks to @Kocal

• Enabled cache and parallelism for terser for faster builds - #497 thanks to @Kocal

0.22.0

• [BC BREAK] The values/paths in entrypoints.json were previously stripped of their opening slash. That behavior has been changed: the opening slash is now included: Before: build/foo.js, After: /build/foo.js.

0.21.0

• [BC BREAK] Webpack was upgraded to version 4. This includes a number of major and minor changes. The changes are listed below under the Webpack 4 Upgrade section.

• [BC BREAK] The createSharedEntry() no longer can be passed an array of files. Instead, set this to just one file, and require the other files from inside that file.

• [DEPRECATION] You must now call either Encore.enableSingleRuntimeChunk() or Encore.disableSingleRuntimeChunk(): not calling either method is deprecated. The recommended setting is Encore.enableSingleRuntimeChunk(). This will cause a new runtime.js file to be created, which must be included on your page with a script tag (before any other script tags for Encore JavaScript files). See the documentation above enableSingleRuntimeChunk() in index.js for more details.

• [BEHAVIOR CHANGE] Previously, without any config, Babel was configured to "transpile" (i.e. re-write) your JavaScript so that it was compatible with all browsers that currently have more than 1% of the market share. The new default behavior is a bit more aggressive, and may rewrite even more code to be compatible with even older browsers. The recommendation is to add a new browserslist key to your package.json file that specifies exactly what browsers you need to support. For example, to get the old configuration, add the following to package.json:

{
    "browserslist": "> 1%"
}

See the browserslist library for a full description of all of the valid browser descriptions.

• Added a new copyFiles() method that is able to copy static files into your build directory and allows them to be versioned. #409 thanks to @Lyrkan

• Introduced a new configureSplitChunks() method that can be used to further configure the optimizations.splitChunks configuration.

• A new entrypoints.json file is now always output. For expert use-cases, the optimizations.splitChunks.chunks configuration can be set via configureSplitChunks() to all. Then, you can write some custom server-side code to parse the entrypoints.js so that you know which script and link tags are needed for each entry.

• The "dynamic import" syntax is now supported out of the box because the @babel/plugin-syntax-dynamic-import babel plugin is always enabled. This allows you to do "Dynamic Imports" as described here: https://webpack.js.org/guides/code-splitting/#dynamic-imports

• A new "version check" system was added for optional dependencies. Now, when you install optional plugins to support a feature, if you are using an unsupported version, you will see a warning. "Package recommendation" errors (i.e. when you enable a feature but you are missing some packages) will also contain the version in the install string when necessary (e.g. yarn add foo@^2.0).

• Support was added handlebars-loader by calling enableHandlebarsLoader(). #301 thanks to @ogiammetta

• Support was added for eslint-loader by calling enableEslintLoader(). #243 thanks to @pinoniq

• The css-loader can now be configured by calling configureCssLoader(). #335 thanks to @XWB

• It's now possible to control the exclude for Babel so that you can process certain node_modules packages through Babel - use the new second argument to configureBabel() - #401 thanks to @Lyrkan.

Webpack 4 Upgrade Details

• Node 7 is no longer supported. This is because the new mini-css-extract-plugin does not support it (and neither) does Yarn.

• For Preact, the necessary plugin the user needs to install changed from babel-plugin-transform-react-jsx to @babel/plugin-transform-react-jsx.

• The NamedModulesPlugin was removed.

• The babel-preset-env package (which was at version ^1.2.2) was removed in favor of @babel/preset-env.

• ExtractTextPlugin was removed and replaced with mini-css-extract-plugin. Accordingly, extractTextPluginOptionsCallback() was removed.

• Support for CoffeeScript was entirely removed.

• Actual lang="sass" no longer works for Vue. However, lang="scss" continues to work fine.

• uglifyjs-webpack-plugin was replaced by terser-webpack-plugin. If you're using configureUglifyJsPlugin(), please switch to configureTerserPlugin() instead.
