Roadmap 1.9

[ericmdantas]

Some exciting additions are coming.

New web frameworks for the server: both Node and Go.

For Node, we're adding Koa to the stack, with its version 2.x - which will support async/await.
For Golang, we're adding Gin, a fast and stable web framework.

For the client side, we're adding the possibility to use either LESS or SASS in your styles (see #25);

We're also adding aurelia (ref) as an option for the client side.

And we'll also implement an option so the user can choose if he wants to work with tests side by side with the source code or in separated folders.

So, in short, this is what we have to finish to get through 1.9:

• Less/Sass support (SCSS over LESS? #25);
• Node - Koa support (Implement Koa server #52);
• Go - Gin support (Add Gin as an option for Golang web framework #160);
• Generic git server (Generic Git URL support #152);
• Nodemon for dev (Add Nodemon as a dependency for server/fullstack development #157);
• Add getById on the boilerplate app - both in client and server (CRUD: Get by Id #179);
• Aurelia in the client (Add option to work with Aurelia #175);
• Vue in the client (Add option to work with Vue #194);
• Option to have source and tests side by side ([ADD] Option to have test in the same directory as src or in different location #173).
• Use npm hooks to run additional scripts (Use npm hooks to run additional scripts #181);
• Update echo to stable v3 (Update Go's Echo to stable v2 #180);
• Uses same namings for boilerplate app and what the sub generators create (Rename /server/api/todo/routes/todo-routes.js to /server/api/todo/routes/todo-route.js #177);
• Clean up, naming conventions, folder names, etc.
• Babel/Babili compilation step (Use Babel/Babili to compile esnext files to es5 #227)
• Update docs with the changes (Update the docs for 1.9 #178)
• Implement HTTP/2 server for Node (Implement HTTP/2 server for Node.js #249)

Edit:
DB changes were moved to 1.11 (#170).

Adding Firebase to list of supported DB's would be nice

[ericmdantas]

Good suggestion, @ccocker.

My only concern is the size of 1.9, it might take too long to be released, so I might break it into 1.9 and 1.10.

1.9:

• Sass/Less;
• Node - Koa;
• Go - Gin;
• Generic git server;

1.10:

• RethinkDB;
• Firebase;
• PostgreSQL;

I'm still thinking about it, though.

[ericmdantas]

Generic git support landed in branch v1.9 via commit bd888b7, PR #164.

[ericmdantas]

Alright, in order to have releases relatively close to each other, I'm removing the DB modifications and assigning it to 1.10.0.

[Abdizriel]

@ericmdantas when do you plan to release 1.9? It will take some time to release #173

[ericmdantas]

@Abdizriel, if everything goes right, this weekend. If not, next week.

[ericmdantas]

@Abdizriel, but we can make room for that feature in 1.9, if you want.

[Abdizriel]

@ericmdantas I'll try to do that by tomorrow. It's better to add it in this release, since later it would be more and more harder to do.

[ericmdantas]

Pretty much.

[bernardbr]

@ericmdantas, maybe you can add aurelia.io as an option to implement
front-end without angular!

Rob Eisenberg left Angular 2 for it:

@bernardbr, nice suggestion.

I've wanted to give Aurelia a try for a while now - but never got the time.

Since I haven't used it yet, I'll play with it a bit first, and then, I might target it to 1.9 if it's not a big change, or later, if it's a huge change.

[ericmdantas]

Updates roadmap.

[ericmdantas]

Adds Vue to the list.

[ericmdantas]

As for features, the two left are: Aurelia and Less/Sass.

The other changes are related to documentation and suchs. We're almost there!

[ericmdantas]

Adds flat structure to the todo list in 1.10.

[ericmdantas]

1.9 is 90% done.

There are some minor bugs going on and I`ll have to take care of the docs before releasing it.

[ericmdantas]

Note to self: Vue 2.0 is out - update the client.

[ericmdantas]

Added babel/babili compilation step for ng1 and vue to the list. Aurelia doesn't need it because of the jspm integration.

[ericmdantas]

Final steps: update the docs, do some manual tests and we're good to release v1.9.

[ericmdantas]

Depending on labstack/echo#838.

[ericmdantas]

Added HTTP/2 in Node server to the list.

[ericmdantas]

Done.
