New Features

  • Configurable browsers versions support. It uses browserslist - just specify the browsers you want to support in the package.json file for browserslist.
  • Configuration per environment
  • Automatic building of all template HTML files placed under src/templates/, no need to manually configure each file anymore.
  • See the full README file for all new features.

Breaking Changes

  • Webpack version update - support for webpack 5
    • New webpack configuration files.
    • Webpack configuration restructure - split to development and production configuration files.
  • Switched to webpack-dev-server instead of browser-sync.
  • Template files moved from src/ to src/templates/.
  • Removed npm run bundle script - no need anymore.
  • JavaScript syntax cheker command changed from lint-js to lint:js.
  • SASS/PostCSS syntax cheker command changed from lint-sass to lint:sass.
    • Configuration file is renamed from .sass-lint.yml to .sasslintrc for consistency.

Updates

  • src/scss/app.scss - grouped all demo page styles in a dedicated file called demo.scss for easer removal upon starting a new project.
  • Added example demo code in src/js/demo.js
  • Updated README.md
