v2.5.0

[pi0]

What's new?

15,000 line changes with 230 squashed commits by more than 30 contributors made this version possible! ❤️

Typescript DX

No longer needed to install nuxt-ts for typescript support. Nuxt.js officially supports TS by installing @nuxt/typescript. Please see #5079 for reasons behind such migration.

Babel

Babel 7.4, Core-js v3, and Object.assign polyfill for better browser support.

Stability

More than 30 fixes, refactors and performance improvements.

Open in Browser

Use nuxt dev -o to instantly open project in the browser and enjoy a cool loading screen:

[IMPORTANT] Migration Guide

Programmatic API / Middleware

If not already done, please explicitly call nuxt.ready() after new Nuxt(). nuxt.ready() was always async, but not awaiting the function call has now a severe impact.

   const nuxt = new Nuxt(config)
++ await nuxt.ready()

TypeScript

1. Please replace nuxt-ts dependency and use nuxt + @nuxt/typescript. (Also nuxt-ts-edge to nuxt-edge + @nuxt/typescript-edge for edge users)

{
--  "nuxt-ts": "^2.4.2"
++  "@nuxt/typescript": "^2.5.0"
++  "nuxt": "^2.5.0"
}

2. Configuration API to customize/disable type checking has been moved from build.useForkTsChecker to build.typescript.typeCheck. Please see refactor: better DX for TypeScript support #5079 for more details.

build: {
-- useForkTsChecker: false // or ForkTsChecker options
++ typescript : {
++   typeCheck: false // or ForkTsChecker options
++ }
}

Changelog updated

[Atinux]

Good for me!

[Atinux]

I just published @nuxt/loading-screen v0.0.4

[manniL]

Let's ship #5291, #5290 and #5292. Then we are good to go from my POV

And maybe #5297 😋

[pi0]

• Changelog updated
• [release] triggered to test final changes on nuxt-edge

The dev branch should be better to be frozen now for release

Update:

• Missing dependencies added
• Updated loading-screen due to performance problems

[manniL]

Updated the migration guide wording for awaiting nuxt.ready. Feel free to correct me if I wrote sth. wrong ☺️

[chanlito]

Yes yes yes! 👏👏👏 Thanks all.
