Features

• Added config.extractCssChunks option. Set to true for automatic style-splitting and importing using ExtractCssChunks instead of ExtractTextPlugin.
• Added config.inlineCss option. Set to true to inline all styles into the resulting HTML document instead of using link tags.

Fixes & Optimizations

• Production code-split components that error will now log the correct error to the console.
• Added routeInfo to the config.Document component.

5.5.11

Fixes

• The react-hot-loader/babel is no longer used in production. Who's the dummy who did that?! (...me, haha)
• compact: false is now the default in .babelrc. Only a select few care about those compaction messages anyway.
• Various __dirname references are now fixed with the correct number of ../'s

5.5.10

Fixes

• Fixed a rare issue where hash links may not be scrolled to if navigation is fast enough (imagine that ;)
• Added a config.paths.root option that is also rare.

Fixes

• .com or any other suffix is no longer clipped from siteRoot.
• Absolute URL rewriting now takes into account basePath and also src='' attributes
• 404 component more reliably supports RouteData and is generally more stable.

• Fixed some hot-reloading side effects that were introduced with the new project architecture.
• Lost some weight on the node packaging. The docs and many other large files are now excluded from distribution.
• Improved the node API support with much more stability.
• Added a key prop to the rendered route in react-static-routes.js to avoid stale or mixed state for routes that happen to share the same top-level component.
• Removed complexity from the user by making the <Routes> component's getComponentForPath render prop more robust. (Check documentation if you use custom rendering for your react-static-routes)

5.5.0

Features

• Added a Redirect component and route.redirect option to routes.

Fixes

• src='/' paths are now also rewritten with siteRoot and basePath

5.4.0

• Added config.basePath option for hosting and running react-static sites from a sub-route
• Added config.stagingSiteRoot, config.stagingBasePath, config.devBasePath. Used for overriding the above options in specific environments
• Added the ability to create projects using a local template location.

Fixes & Optimizations

• Entire repo has been reorganized and split for easier maintenance and project grokking ability.
• Template information and route data hashes are now automatically generated and collocated in a routeInfo.js for each route, instead of in a single location (give them massive sites some support, baby!)

• React Router now uses config.basePath for its basename prop
• History instances now use config.basePath for the basename option

5.1.14

Fixes

• Fixed component style render props from not passing children

5.1.13

5.1.8

Fixes & Optimizations

• Removed the various extract-hoc related babel plugins in favor of the new react-hot-loader version 4.

5.1.0

Features

• Added --staging CLI argument to react-static build that does not perform build-time optimizations like siteRoot replacement on links assets, etc. If you are testing your site locally, you will likely want to use this option to allow your production site to be navigable on localhost.

5.0.0

Features

• Automatic Route Splitting. From here on out as long a project is using the automatic component-based static routing, all route templates will be automatically deduped and split into separate modules. These modules are statically-rendered into every page that uses them, are preloaded asynchronously with React-Static built-in prefetching utiliies, and are also loaded on demand if needed as the client navigates through your site. Carry on!
• Automatic prefetching of templates and assets. Any eligible Link component to a code/data-split destination will automatically queue a prefetch for the appropriate assets.
• Render prop versions of withRouteData and withSiteData are now available as RouteData and SiteData. These support inline access to their respective props, instead of having to set up an HOC. They also support all three major render prop syntaxes, so render those props however you want!. See the README for more information.
• Added a new Loading render prop component and a companion withLoading HOC component to easily display React-Static's loading state (that probably won't happen much, but still... ;).
• Added a new Loading/withLoading render prop / HOC component pair. You can render this component to gain access to the loading prop, which was previously only accessible via the Router.subscribe callback.
• Path changes now automatically scroll to the top of the page. Duration defaults to 0ms, but can be modifed via the scrollToTopDuration prop on the Router component.
• Hash routing changes now automatically scroll to the element (or top of the page if the hash is removed but the path stays the same). Duration defaults to 800ms, but can be modifed via the scrollToHashDuration prop on the Router component.

Breaking Changes

• In some previous scenarios the window's location.search would be taken into account when matching a path. That is now not the case. You could never previously rely on URL parameters for static paths, but now we're letting you know :)
• The getRouteProps and getSiteData HOC's have both been renamed to withRouteData and withSiteData. Using the old methods will result in a deprecation notice and a broken app. Luckily this is an easy find and replace :)
• Router.subscribe has been deprecated. Though, if you still need programmatic access to a loading event, you can use the new onLoading subscriber that functions the same way.

How to Upgrade

• In your components:
  • Replace all instances of getRouteProps with withRouteData
  • Replace all instances of getSiteProps with withSiteData
  • Replace all instances of Router.subscribe with onLoading, and import onLoading.
• In your static.config.js:
  • Replace all instances of getProps with getData
  • Replace getSiteProps with getSiteData
  • If you are using a custom Document be sure to replace the siteProps prop with siteData.
• Note: To take advantage of auto-code-splitting, you cannot use custom routing for your static routes. I suggest migrating to the automatic routing strategy asap.

4.8.2

Fixes & Optimizations

• getRouteProps was fixed to always have access to the router props, thus supporting getRouteProps as nested components instead of top-level page components.

4.8.1

Fixes & Optimizations

• Node version was rolled back to <=6.10.0, to allow some existing users continued usage.

4.8.0

Features

• Preact can now be used in production by setting preact: true in your static.config.js! Remember to use ReactDOM.render instead of hydrate in production too :)
• Added the preact example.

4.7.2

Fixes & Optimizations

• getRouteProps now functions as it should when it's wrapped component receives new props without remounting. (Thanks @EmilTholin!)
• Node >=7.5.0 <=6.10.0 is now stated as required, instead of implied.
• When building for node stage, the main is now preferred in package imports, instead of module
• Better module resolution locations, which allows overriding react-static module versions by installing them locally.

4.7.1

Features

• Added Firebase Authentication example (Thanks @deden!)

Fixes & Optimizations

• Better error logging for unhandled promise rejections
• Handle Routes with spaces (Thanks @etimberg!)
• Add shouldPrefetch() method to avoid setting loading state (Thanks @chrisbrown-io!)
• Pass DOM props through in links (Thanks @denis-sokolov!)
• Pass additional CLI arguments through to getSiteData() (Thanks @etimberg!)

4.7.0

Features

• Common props returned by getRouteProps (props that === one another) now promoted to shared props and only requested once per session. Learn more in the docs: Automatic Data and Prop Splitting. Depending on your site, this may significantly decrease site bandwidth and increase both initial page load speed and subsequent page load performance.

4.6.0

Features

• <Routes> now accepts a render prop for custom rendering of automatic routes.
• Added animated-routes example.

Fixes & Optimizations

• Link and NavLink now properly render hash links and external links. (Thanks @denis-sokolov!)

4.5.1

Fixes & Optimizations

• Link and NavLink now properly render hash links and external links. (Thanks @denis-sokolov!)
• sass example now uses a proper webpack loader configuration for style extraction. (Thanks @talves!)

4.5.0

Features

• Added sass example. (Thanks @2metres!)
• Added glamorous-tailwind example. (Thanks @deden!)
• The REACT_STATIC_ENV environment variable is now used internally (and set deterministically via usage of the start and build commands) instead of NODE_ENV. This means you can finally set your own NODE_ENV variables and use tools like cross-env. Yay!

Fixes & Optimizations

• Fixed some misleading phrasing where a route component path could be assumed to be compatible with a class, function, or react component, when in fact it is the path to that. (Thanks @Jonarod!)
• config.path.src is now taken into account when constructing the config.path.entry path. (Thanks @crubier!)
• Added manta.life to list of sites built with React Static. (Thanks @hql287!)
• Updated the graphql-request example to use react-markdown instead of dangerouslySetInnterHTML. (Thanks @hmeissner!)

4.4.0

Features

• Added graphql-request example. (Thanks @ChrisNLott!)

Fixes & Optimizations

• Use ReactDOM.render instead of ReactDOM.hydrate in dev (Thanks @EmilTholin!)

4.3.4

Fixes & Optimizations

• Cordova example's res directory is no longer included in the npm distribution making releases and installations much faster.

4.3.3

Fixes & Optimizations

• Fixed a bug where windows users could not serve or build a project. (Thanks @karland!)

4.3.2

Fixes & Optimizations

• Fixed a bug where some directories or files weren't being included in npm distributions

4.3.1

Fixes & Optimizations

• Fixed a bug where component names with numbers would not render propertly. (Thanks @muloka!)

4.3.0

Features

• config.paths.devDist can now be set to specify a different scratch output directory when in development mode.

Fixes & Optimizations

• react-static-routes imports are now relative, thus avoiding absolute path madness... hopefully? :)

4.2.0

Features

• Added Probot to the github repo! Hooray!
• Better yarn/npm colors in cli. @cgmx
• Router now uses componentDidCatch to gracefully display runtime errors for you.

Fixes & Optimizations

• react-static-routes now uses dynamic template imports. @EmilTholin
• Helmet meta tags are more reliably extracted. @EmilTholin
• Config server is no longer served separately, but piggybacks on webpack dev server. @rileylnapier

4.1.0

Features

• Added config.paths, which can now be used to customize dist folder location and other file locations used by react-static
• Added onStart hook. Fires after the first successful dev build when running react-static start
• Added onBuild hook. Fires after a successful production build when running react-static build
• Added config.devServer, which can be used to customize the configuration for the webpack-dev-server used in development. (Thanks @rywils21!)
• Added TypeScript typings for React-Static core exports (Thanks @D1no!)
• Allow customization of dev server PORT and HOST via those environment variables. (Thanks @rywils21!)
• config.getRoutes is no longer required and will default to exporting a single root path.
• Webpack configurations can now be exported and used externally. (Thanks @crubier!)
• <Router> component now supports a type prop that can be: browser, hash, or memory, which defines which type of history object to create and use internally. Useful for non-web environments or situations where your app will be accessed in a filesystem or nested domain as opposed to a web server.
• Added Redux example (Thanks @crubier!)
• Added Apollo GraphQL example (Thanks @crubier!)
• Added Redux + Apollo example (Thanks @crubier!)
• Added Typscript example (Thanks @D1no!)

Fixes & Optimization

• The Document's <title> tag can now be used as a fallback to any <title> tag produced via the <Head> component. (Thanks @EmilTholin!)
• Fixed a bug where not defining a 404 component resulted in an error during production build. (Thanks @mplis!)
• Fixed a bug where the webpack dev server would rebuild the app multiple times in a row when started up for the first time. (Thanks @cgmx!)

4.0.0

Breaking Changes

• The webpack function in static.config.js has a new function signature.
  • Each function is now not required to return a new config object. If a falsey value is returned, the transformation will be ignored, and the next transformation will carry on as normal. Even so, avoid mutating the config object at all costs ;)
  • A new argument is now available in the args parameter called defaultLoaders:

    webpack: (
      config, {
        defaultLoaders: {
          jsLoader,
          cssLoader,
          fileLoader
        }
      }
    ) => {...}

  These loaders are here for convenience. Please read the documentation for more information.

Features

• A dynamic code-splitting example and typescript example are now available! Huzzah!

Fixes & Optimizations

• Webpack files are now hashed for better cache invalidation. It's about time right?!

3.0.0

Breaking Changes

• Your index.js file must now export your app in NON-JSX form, eg. export default App, not <App />. With this change, builds can be faster, leaner, and have more control over the build pipeline.
• The optional Html component in static.config.js was renamed to Document.
• The preRenderMeta and postRenderMeta hooks in static.config.js have been deprecated in favor of the new renderToHtml hook. This is a very important change, so please check the readme if you are using these hooks!
• The new renderToHtml hook now uses a mutable meta object. This object is passed as a prop to the base Document component as renderMeta now, instead of the previous staticMeta.

Features

• New PrefetchWhenSeen component allows for prefetching when component becomes visible in the viewport.

Fixes & Optimizations

• Exporting is now up to 2x faster after switching from a dual pass to a single pass render strategy.
• Fixed a very elusive and angering bug where imported node_modules were not being shared between the node context and the node webpack build of the app used for exporting.

2.0.0

Breaking Changes

• The webpack function in static.config.js has a new function signature.
  • The new value can be an array of functions or a single function.
  • Each function passed will receive the previous resulting (or built-in) webpack config, and expect a modified or new config to be returned. See Webpack Config and Plugins

Features

Now that the webpack callback accepts an array of transformer functions, the concept of plugins has been introduced. These transformer functions are applied in order from top to bottom and have total control over the webpack config. For more information see Webpack Config and Plugins

webpack: [
  withCssLoader,
  withFileLoader
]

Fixes & Optimizations

All route exporting is now done via a node bundle that is packaged with webpack. This should dramatically increase reliability in customization and cross-platform usability.
