Changelog

4.0.0

No API changes, but lots of dependency changes. You'll want to remove all node_modules so Elixir can install the needed dependencies and version.

• Node 16+

• Webpack 5

• Node Sass has been removed in favor of Dart Sass

  • Removes Python dependency

  • Removes usages of node-gyp

• Supports Vue 2 and Vue 3

After the installation, you may notice old Webpack plugins that are no longer needed as of Webpack 5. You may safely remove these.

You will need to tweak your package.json scripts to account for Webpack 5:

{
    "scripts": {
        "dev": "webpack --node-env development",
        "watch": "npm run dev -- --watch",
        "prod": "webpack --node-env production"
    }
}

Lastly, we've introduced a new enableDevtools flag that can be used to force devtools in production environments:

const elixir = require("coldbox-elixir");

elixir.enableDevtools = true;

module.exports = elixir(mix => {
    // ...
});

You do not need to do this for non-production environments. The devtools will be enabled automatically there.
