1.0RC

We're extremely excited to present you the 1.0 Release Candidate! In this release, we were focused on the developer experience. Among cool new features added, most tasks were focused on: stability, extensibility, code quality.

Our approach was to better prepare Vue Storefront for production deployments and for further development. Now it's far easier to create the extensions and themes. Users can not only override the base components but also modify the webpack configuration or to have separated package.json files. A lot of new events have been added and the developer's documentation has been extended.

We separated the core from the src folder as well to allow us to publish the official vue-storefront npm package in the next release (1st of April: 1.0).

What's important for the developers relying on Vue Storefront - the extensions/themes API and structure wouldn't be drastically modified after this release.

Key new features

• i18n (internationalization) support for the UI,
• support for Magento2 dynamic cart totals - which enables the shopping cart rules mechanism of Magento to work with VS,
• eslint-plugin-vue installed,
• CSS properties moved to atomic classes
• new SASS structure,
• architectural change: core extracted from src - preparation for publishing the official npm package,
• refactored vuex stores - we separated actions, getters and the state for better maintainability,
• UI improvements: look & feel, accessibility, color palette normalization,
• assets can be now managed by theme developers,
• service-workers and webpack config can be now extended by theme developers,
• droppoints shipping methods (NL support) added (#665).

Better docs

We've published quite a few new docs in this release! Please take a look at README.md for Table of Contents.

We're trying to map all the feature requirements for next major editions (1.0, 1.1, 1.2). Please do contact us at [email protected] if you would like to share some thoughts.
