Simplest way to upgrade existing nextron?

Open armenr opened this issue 5 years ago • 6 comments

Hey there! Thank you for all of your incredible and wonderful work.

My team loves me for having implemented Nextron into our repo. In turn, I remind and tell them about the fact that it's the maintainers of Nextron they should be loving :)

We do have a question, however:

What is the most straightforward way to update/upgrade our nextron implementation? :)

Thank you!

@saltyshiomix - any potential advice? :)

Hi, @armenr !

Thank you for your testing nextron and your question!

Sorry I have no any ideas for now, because nextron is an app generator. But I think it's so wonderful if it can check for updates and show diffs to patch like Git.

Anyway, I'll investigate the implementation this month 👍

How about making nextron a module like create-react-app, electron-webpack or preact-cli ? It will make upgrades easier.

create-nextron-app and nextron can be like create-react-app and react-scripts.

The helpers functions can be bundled into nextron/helpers or something, like next/link.

First of all, thanks for the well structured code. It was really easy going through it.

I have a working draft here. Please have a look at it.

No more path rewriting.
Can use next/link and <a> tags.
No more full page reloads on page transition (SPA like behaviour).
Made dev and build commands part of nextron package, so that they can be updated independently.
Moved next,react & react-dom to devDependencies -> dmg size reduced by ~9MB.
