ds-basic current status & history

ds-basic is a package that used to host a set of basic components in the earlier major versions of dimsum, around the time version 1.37.x and later on with version 3.X.X of dimsum was release dimsum scaffolding have been changed to better fit mono-repos structures and be more compatible with mono-repo tools, as per the dedicated ds-codemods fix-legacy-imports & help-migrate-to-v3 scripts, all the import xxx from '@elliemae/ds-basic statements in the application have been deprecated in favor of dedicated import statements referencing the correct package itself.

In version 3.x.x the ds-basic package is currently only being used to host scss styling, the only build scripts of the package itself are dedicated to comply ONLY scss compilation itself and nothing more.

Changes from 3.20.x

dimsum component that are still using scss files are either deprecated, soon to be deprecated or are going to be converted to styled-components styling, as such we are going to avoid compiling the scss file on build by default, changes to scss files are too sparse to justify the time-loss on each build/release, we are still going to keep around the logic for compiling the scss just in case, but by default we are not going to re-compile it, we are instead going to just copy-paste the dist file over, since at this point they are more static than dynamic.

What we think will be the future of ds-basic

Once all the non-deprecated packages lose the scss styling dependency we will completely remove ds-basic from the library and ds-basic scss would be present only as a deprecated unsupported package hosting scss/css for deprecated/unsupported components.
