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.
