Breaking Changes

Middleware Hook

To pull off dynamic routing we had to completely rework the routing model for Elder.js.

The only major breaking change has been to the signature of the middleware hook, all of the props are now not mutable aside from request and errors.

That said, there should be no loss of control as compared to before. Simply return mutated request object before the elderExpressLikeMiddleware hook.

As long as the request is well formed, Elder.js will take care of it.

Dev Server

Prior to this release, Elder.js recommended two terminals during development. Now we recommend your scripts section of your package.json to look something like this:

"scripts": {
    "start": "npm run dev",
    "build": "node ./src/cleanPublic.js && npm run build:rollup && npm run build:html",
    "build:rollup": "rollup -c",
    "build:html": "node ./src/build.js",
    "dev": "rollup  -c -w --no-watch.clearScreen",
    "serve": "node ./src/cleanPublic.js && npm run build:rollup && NODE_ENV=production node ./src/server.js"
}

Resulting in using `npm start` or `npm run dev` to do local development.
