Description
Type of Change
Breaking
Summary
As we draw closer to the 1.0 release, this issue is aimed at tracking the deprecations (and deletions?) of various features and plugins from the Greenwood CLI
Details
| Type | Name | Description | Consensus |
|---|---|---|---|
| CLI | Eject | Technically Greenwood has an "eject" command, but its not really a use case worth supporting when we already have such an extensive set of plugin APIs now | ❓ |
| Plugin | CommonJS | This one can be very hit or miss since it only does a best guess at trying to detect CJS modules being shipped to the browser, and in general goes agains the spirit of Greenwood being ESM first in the browser and its priority for using import maps. Maybe a good time to align with ProjectEvergreen/www.greenwoodjs.dev#183 | ❓ |
| Plugin | Google Analytics | This seems easy enough to maintain by the community, and well there are probably other better trackers to be using. Plus we are way behind on our implementation / support | ❓ |
| Plugin | Import JSON | Already deprecated, just needs to be deleted | ❌ |
| Plugin | Import CSS | Already deprecated, just needs to be deleted | ❌ |
| Plugin | Puppeteer Renderer | Maybe too soon to delete this one, since it's the only reference implementation of our custom renderer? Could go either way on this one | ❓ |
| Plugin | GraphQL | I don't really use GraphQL personally, and recently Greenwood pulled in first party "content as data" support, so not sure we need to maintain two flavors as first party. (and we don't feature it on the main website sidebar). If we do or do not deprecate this, we will need to close or complete these - https://github.com/ProjectEvergreen/greenwood/issues?q=state%3Aopen%20label%3A%22Content%20as%20Data%22 | ❓ |
| CLI | Source Plugin | If we adopt, then does it make sense to keep this around as a plugin anymore? | ❓ |
- ❓ - Still being evaluated / unsure
- ❌ - Being removed
- ✅ - Being kept
Although we should probably hold onto the GraphQL plugin, we should probably update Apollo, or maybe do we even need an Apollo client? 🤔
