Today we release Mojito JS Delivery v2.5.0, the latest version of our versatile JavaScript split testing library. This release focuses on improving your workflow by significantly reducing dependencies and build times through the new npm Scripts. We also introduce new container visibility enhancements to help you keep your container weight under check.
Bye to Gulp, Hello to npm Scripts
We've replaced our aging Gulp build scripts with npm Scripts, waving goodbye to the older, aging Gulp ecosystem. This shift to npm scripts reduces dependencies by over 60% and significantly improves build times. Specifically, our Bitbucket Pipelines build times have improved by over 30%.
New Features & Updates
New Build Tools Suite: We've replaced the old gulp pipeline with a suite of new build tools. These npm script-based tools provide a more modern, efficient, and streamlined build process. Refer to the documentation for how the new syntax should work within your build tools.
Improved Container Statistics: When you build your container, we now show how heavy each component and experiment is inside your container, helping you to streamline your experiments as much as possible. We also save this information and other build info to the container under the Mojito.buildInfo key for easier debugging.
- Active Development Environment: With the new
npm run watchcommand, your container is deployed to your development environment as you actively work on experiments and files inside the container. To use this command, you'll need to be using Amazon S3 and havenodemoninstalled:
$ npm install -g nodemon
$ npm run watch
> mojito-js-delivery@2.5.0 watch
> nodemon --on-change-only -e js,css,yml --watch ./lib --exec npm run deploy
[nodemon] 3.0.2
[nodemon] to restart at any time, enter `rs`
[nodemon] watching path(s): lib/**/*
[nodemon] watching extensions: js,css,yml
[nodemon] restarting due to changes...
[nodemon] starting `npm run deploy`
> mojito-js-delivery@2.5.0 deploy
> node scripts/command.js --command deploy
