Update Nuxt.js and Vuetify.js in CWA (client web app).

Nuxt 1.0 to 2.x, Vuetify from 1.0 to 1.5

If it were from scratch

See #2 for how we originally scaffolded cwa (.

We want to modernize create-nuxt-app, for new projects and for updating existing projects

We also want to use npx to run create-nuxt-app instead of installing it globally, since npx will always utilize the latest version of create-nuxt-app and everything else (at least up to the point where it updates its dependency templates). See the create-nuxt-app repo.

sudo npm uninstall -g create-nuxt-app
create-nuxt-app cannot
-bash: /usr/local/bin/create-nuxt-app: No such file or directory

cd dev
node -v
v10.15.1
npx create-nuxt-app checkitout
$ npx create-nuxt-app checkitout
npx: installed 379 in 12.169s

Updating from significantly earlier versions

Nuxt.js

Read the Migration guide for 2-0-0, and an upgrade not for 2.4.0 probably taking the long but peaceful approach in release notes for 2.0.

stop app
create new dev branch
edit package.json to new releases (nuxt.js and vuetify.js)

delete node-modules dir, and package-lock.json
perform npm install
perform npm run dev

It worked!!!

But warning in terminal: WARN Classic mode for store/ is deprecated and will be removed in Nuxt 3.

Warnings in browser console:

Source map error: request failed with status 404 Resource URL: http://durabledrupal.net:4071/_nuxt/vendors.app.js Source Map URL: colors.js.map[Learn More] Classic mode for store/ is deprecated and will be removed in Nuxt 3.

So read the other release notes, all the way up from 2.0 to 2.4 to find out about this. But for now we're good to go.

Everything seems to be working!

Vuetify.js

(successfully updated!! See above)

Read Release notes for Vuetify 1.5.0 all the way down to 1.0
