Highlights

  • Drop Node 16 support
  • Improve IDE mode #2215
  • Update supported browsers list #2247
  • Update to TypeScript 5.3

Drop Node 16 support

In alignment with Node.js release schedule, Crafty stops supporting Node 16, but supports version 18 and 20

Improve IDE Mode

When running crafty ide a few files are created inside your repository so that your IDE knows you're using eslint/prettier/jest.
We got some feedback that this feature is confusing because every user needs to run it on their own machine.

Starting with this version, stylelint.config.mjs, prettier.config.mjs, and jest.config.mjs are created in a commit-friendly way, it will no longer contain the content of the configuration but will allow to commit and get a pleasant out-of-the-box experience for newcomers

At this stage, this doesn't work for ESLint and this file should still not be committed, this is because ESLint's configuration is trickier and another change is ongoing for this one; #2250

Update supported browsers list

As is the case every year, we update the list of supported browsers. The browserslist query is now the following:

Edge >= 96, Safari >= 15, iOS >= 15, Chrome >= 96, and_chr >= 96, Firefox >= 94, > 1%, not dead, not op_mini all

Update to TypeScript 5.3

As it is usual, TypeScript brings a lot of updates in this new version.

You can use all the new features of TypeScript 5.3 except for newly introduced syntax such as import attributes.
This is because Prettier 2 does not support it.
We are working on Prettier 3 support for Crafty to fix this.

Highlights

  • Improvements in Crafty's internals for ESM
  • Improvements in crafty-preset-jest for ESM

Improvements in Crafty's internals for ESM

  • Rename crafty's binary to bin.cjs to force node to start it as CommonJS, allows to install it within an ESM module
  • new crafty.runAllSync(method: string, ...args) method to run all implementations of an extension within presets.
  • loaded presets are wrapped in a CraftyPreset class with the following methods:
    • implements(method: string)
    • run(method: string, ...args)
    • get(property: string)
  • load presets with import(). This allows future presets to be created as ESM modules

Improvements in crafty-preset-jest for ESM

  • Automatically detect when package.json contains type: "module"
    • run Jest with Vmodules enabled
    • don't transpile node dependencies that are using ESM
    • transpile .ts, .tsx files to modules instead of commonjs
  • Use enhanced-resolve to resolve modules in Jest, allows to set .mjs and .cjs to be aliases of .mts and .cts

What's Changed

  • @swc/core from 1.3.51 to 1.3.53
  • postcss from 8.4.22 to 8.4.23
  • eslint from 8.38.0 to 8.39.0

Highlights

  • Support for Prettier 2 and new TypeScript / EcmaScript syntax
  • Replace Terser with SWC for faster minification in your builds, replace Babel with SWC in crafty-preset-typescript
  • TypeScript 5.0 support and other TypeScript improvements
  • New crafty-preset-lightningcss as alternative to crafty-preset-postcss

  • Webpack --profile and --analyze options

Support for Prettier 2 and new TypeScript / EcmaScript syntax

Prettier 2.0 was released a while ago, introducing some new formatting rules that aren't backwards compatible. We've held off from upgrading for now as our internal Git hooks are using Crafty to autoformat code on commit. Upgrading Crafty to Prettier 2.0 would mean that all projects need to migrate as soon as the change is introduced.

Instead of this, we decided to bundle both Prettier 1 and Prettier 2 and let you opt-in to Prettier 2 at your own pace.

Since the release of Prettier 2.0, new features were added to TypeScript along with new syntax, such as import type ... from .... Support for these new features is present in Prettier 2.0 but not Prettier 1.0, if you wish to use those, you need to upgrade opt-in to Prettier 2

crafty.config.js:

module.exports = {
  eslint: {
    settings: {
      "formatting/mode": "prettier:2"
    }
  }
}

SWC for Minification and Transpilation

SWC Provides both transpiling and minification abilities, its architecture and the fact it's written in Rust makes it a strong contender compared to Babel and Terser.

First, we replaced the default minification in Webpack by SWC, in our limited tests, it improved by about 30% our build time in Webpack.

crafty-preset-typescript works with two steps, one is to convert TypeScript to modern EcmaScript, and a second step that transpiles EcmaScript down to what's supported by the browsers you need to support.
This second step was done by Babel but SWC will now be used instead.

TypeScript 5.0

TypeScript 5.0 was released a few weeks ago. Along with many features which I won't cover here, this version is 10-25% faster and smaller than before.

Along with the update we added a test suite to make sure that new syntax that's introduced by TypeScript can be properly parsed by the whole toolchain it goes through; ESLint, SWC, Prettier and all other pieces in between need to understand a new feature for it to be effectively useable inside Crafty. This also allows us to easily track the features that aren't working at the moment and make sure they'll be available to you when all tools support them.

This helped us finalize support for *.mts and *.cts files, you may now decide to use either extension for your module or commonjs files. Of course, the current *.ts and *.tsx extensions will continue to work fine.

New crafty-preset-lightningcss as alternative to crafty-preset-postcss

Lightningcss is a recent contender in the CSS space, built in Rust ... I think you can guess what's coming next; it's very fast.

Previous releases of Crafty have introduced lightningcss as a part of crafty-preset-postcss and replaced some postcss plugins with it. We decided to take it a step further and provide a preset that completely bypasses postcss plugins.

You will get less features out of the box (as our postcss preset is packed with them) but could find that it's enough for your needs and offers a lighter and faster alternative.

Read its documentation

Extract CSS linting into crafty-preset-stylelint

Now that we have two presets that can convert CSS, we extracted CSS Linting into a separate package,.

This preset exposes the crafty cssLint command and can be used without requiring crafty-preset-lightningcss nor crafty-preset-postcss

Read its documentation

crafty-runner-webpack's --profile and --analyze options

Up until Crafty 1.21.1 running crafty run with --profile would export an analysis created with webpack-bundle-analyzer. Starting with Crafty 1.22.0 this option is renamed to --analyze

The --profile options still remains but instead outputs an analysis of the time spent in loaders and plugins provided by speed-measure-webpack-plugin. This can help track down performance issues in your builds.

Updates

  • webpack from 5.75.0 to 5.79.0
  • Jest from 29.2.0 to 29.5.0
  • lightningcss from 1.18.0 to 1.19.0
  • rollup 3.10.0 to 3.20.2

Highlights

  • Drop node 12 and node 14 support
  • Upgraded browserslist query to : Edge >= 86, Safari >= 15, iOS >= 15, Chrome >= 86, and_chr >= 86, Firefox >= 81, > 1%, not dead, not op_mini all
  • Add React Fast Refresh support as opt-in, the default is still react-hot-loader for now.
  • Replace webpack-dev-server with webpack-plugin-serve this change should be transparent.
  • Remove old PostCSS plugins that aren't useful anymore due to more modern browsers
  • Replace @parcel/css with lightningcss (the package has been renamed)
  • Better support for CSS Modules
  • Update Jest 27 to 29
  • Update TypeScript 4.6.3 to 4.8.4

Update list of supported browsers

Every year, Swissquote reviews its supported browsers, and the following is the resulting browserslist query:

Edge >= 86, Safari >= 15, iOS >= 15, Chrome >= 86, and_chr >= 86, Firefox >= 81, > 1%, not dead, not op_mini all

Add React Fast Refresh support as opt-in, the default is still react-hot-loader for now.

React Hot Loader introduced the concept of reloading parts of a page while keeping state.
But this was done by patching React and needs lots of configuration.

React Fast Refresh is React's own implementation of this feature.
Crafty now allows you to choose which one you want to enable, the default remains React Hot Loader for now, as we are making sure it's stable and works as expected.

Check the documentation on how to switch

Replace webpack-dev-server with webpack-plugin-serve

webpack-plugin-serve is smaller and has more frequent updates compared to webpack-dev-server.

With the implemented configuration, you shouldn't see any difference in behaviour.

Here is the difference between both implementations

Remove old PostCSS plugins that aren't useful anymore due to more modern browsers

  • postcss-dir-pseudo-class: is now handled by lightningcss
  • postcss-attribute-case-insensitive: is now fully supported by all browsers we support
  • postcss-font-family-system-ui: is now handled by lightningcss
  • postcss-pseudo-class-any-link: is now fully supported by all browsers we support
  • postcss-replace-overflow-wrap: is fully supported by all browsers we support

Replace @parcel/css with lightningcss

@parcel/css has been rebranded to lightningcss, many improvements and new feature are added regularly and are constantly improving the library.

Better support for CSS Modules

Naming a file with a .module.css or .module.scss will apply different rules than other CSS files

  • CSS Class names will be hashed to avoid collisions.
  • Apply CSS Modules transforms.
  • Linting rules for naming are relaxed for module files.

Update Jest 27 to 29

Two major versions of Jest came out, this should mostly have no impact on your builds except a change in the Snapshot format.
Which means that on next test run, your snapshots will have many differences, running crafty test -u will update them.
