New cra-universal 3.0.0

Announcement

Hi,

New major release of cra-universal is out! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

You can try it now by running:

# Create new cra
create-react-app myapp
cd myapp

# Install new cra-universal
yarn add -D cra-universal

# Start with no config at all!
npx cra-universal start

New

• Zero config by default!
  • No server folder is required
  • Just run cra-universal start/build, and it's good!
  • and still customizable, check Customization section!
• HMR ready! Replaced nodemon with start-server-webpack-plugin
• Replaced null-loader with isomorphic-style-loader for css files
• Used url-loader for standard assets, you'll now get the asset loaded correctly. For hydration warning, you can disable them
• Now you don't need to list packages twice on client and server, just list them on main package.json, no server/package.json anymore
• etc. (will add more later!)

Customization

While being zero config, you can still do customization

• You can still have server folder, it's optional
  • Please use npx cra-universal init to bootstrap this folder
  • You can have .babelrc here, just don't forget to add env and react presets!
  • You must have index.js here
  • You can still use @cra-express/core package, the default server also used this one
• You can have crau.config.js, it's optional
  • It's used to configure the available options:

    module.exports = {
       webpackPlugins: [],
       modifyWebpack: (config) => webpackMerge(config, myCustomConfig)
    }

Breaking changes

• Old init, start, build, and clean commands are deprecated, they're replaced to new implementation, so they won't be compatible with old CLI
• cra-universal should not be installed globally anymore. For init command, please use npx (bundled on npm >= 5.2)

Migration from 2.x.x

• You can remove following files since it's now zero config:
  • server/webpack.config.js
  • server/package.json -> Please move all dependencies into CRA client package.json
  • server/yarn.lock
• You can keep server/src
• You must have index.js file inside server folder, which you can grab from server/src
• For clientBuildPath, you can update the path since the build result is now changed:

   // update to this
   const clientBuildPath = path.resolve(__dirname, '../client');

  // old structure
  dist
    - build -> Your client and server build
       - client -> Your regular CRA client build
  
  // new structure
  dist
    - client -> CRA client build
    - server -> CRA server build
  

I had refactored docs and templates to use latest CLI, you can check them out if you want.
