[suggestion] Use AEMFED instead of AEM Front #59

Open dpogni opened 5 years ago

dpogni commented 5 years ago

AEM FED is recommended by Adobe and has more request updates than AEM Front.

AEM Front is lightly supported by Kevin, but he no longer works on AEM projects.

I'm sorry @kevinweber :(

It's alright – I've just added a "deprecated" note to AEM Front. Just for the record: AEM Front was the original "AEM + BrowserSync + AEMSync" extension :)

Cheers, AEM Fed.

@dpogni , thanks for the suggestion! :) Although this is not a risk or a threat for anyone using the current setup, we are looking at a code change that will switch the use of AEM-Front to AEMFed. To be clear, either one can be used and it is a developer preference to use AEM-Front or AEMFed for file watching and file sync to AEM. They are both meant to speed up the development workflow for frontend developers. @kevinweber's amazing work on AEM-Front inspired AEMFed and whichever you use, please remember they are both modules open-sourced by an individual contributor so please contribute. We will soon open a PR with the change, stay tuned. Thanks guys!
