Some ideas for 2.0

Breaking changes for 2.0:

Organization

  1. Move all stencil stuff to an organization so the "official" repos are grouped together
  2. szywon and elisehein as admins
  3. Think of a different name because there's already a "stencil" pkg on npm :-/

One core, multiple front-ends

  1. Rename project to simply "stencil"
  2. grunt-stencil becomes merely a front-end
  3. broccoli-stencil stays mostly as it is (aligned to the new API)
  4. Make sure all front-ends have feature parity

Core

"stencil" project is just the core logic:

  1. a library
  2. no file system IO
  3. header-body splitting
  4. includes
  5. templates

Pluggable compilers

  1. Extract existing compilers to separate repos (stencil-doT, stencil-marked)
  2. Provide an easy way to add and configure them via front-ends
  3. Each compiler should be named stencil-<other_project_name>.

More flexible file extensions

  1. Processing order should be determined by order of file extensions, for example asdf.md.dot.html should be first processed by marked, then by doT.
  2. Compiler should be able to either:
    • not care about the extension like (doT)
    • suggest the extension of the output file (markdown files should be outputted to html files)
  3. If a file ends with an extension that doesn't trigger a compiler, it should have this extension, for example asdf.md.xml should have xml extension even though markdown compiler wanted html.
