Heads up that I'm not going to cherry pick this just yet to v6 so I changed the milestone, though this totally could land in the v6 RC or a minor, etc. |
@jtoar Good call! |

Hey, I'm a bit confused by this, as you only mention |
|
@razzeee yeah you're right. This will be for serve too. This was inspired by our work on better docker support - a priority for us. We are now looking to get parity between the way we serve web and api sides. We already had an api-server package but we lacked a similar package for web. This complicated things all over the place with many different entry points and ambiguous dependencies. We've got even more refactoring work going on behind the scenes to tidy up this area of the code so hopefully this will all come together coherently in a month or so. |

Yeah, I'm aware of the work going on, was just wondering, if I could already migrate parts of my docker file/flow. |
Add a new server for the Web side that docker files can use to serve the web side of a RW project without depending on other big RW packages like cli or internal.
The goal is that this should be a non-breaking change. If it's not, I need to fix that.
Currently, as this PR stands, the new web-server package will only be used when you run
yarn rw dev weband the SSR experimental features is not enabled. If you runyarn rw devthe old way of serving web is still used (couldn't switch to the new web-server package without breaking backwards compatibility)The new web-server package is added as a dependency to
@redwoodjs/coreso that RW projects get access to it (for runningyarn rw dev web. The options here were to either make it a dependency of core or cli. But it's core that has it listed as a bin, so I opted to put it in the deps for core. (api-server is also a bin in core, but it's listed as a dep in cli. And it works, because cli is a dep of core, but I don't think it's totally correct.)
