@symfony/webpack-encore - npm Package Versions

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.
