MERN v3.0.0 🚀 #344

Open abinavseelan opened 6 years ago

abinavseelan commented 6 years ago

Hey 👋

It's been a little over a year since MERN v2 was released. A lot has changed in the React landscape and it's about time we get back to this project to bring it up to speed with 2018. 😄

Progress on this project has been rather slow from our end due us focusing our efforts on development of Hashnode. While retrospecting our open-source contributions, the need for a new version of MERN came to light, as highlighted by the numerous issues and PR’s that have been raised over the past year to update the repository. We apologize for not getting to this sooner.

What's coming 📦

Here is a brief list of the features that we have in the pipeline for the 3.0:

Have a request or suggestion? 💭

If you have any feature requests or suggestions, do leave them below and we'll see if we can bring it into 3.0 😄

Update

(27th May, 2018) We're are looking for new maintainers… Read full update

mattlubner commented 6 years ago

Can we list "decrease start-up time while in development mode" as an official objective? The last point ("Have a simpler workflow so that you can start your project(s) with much more ease!") is a bit vague, and I'm not sure of what that means. It is currently very painful to do server side development in Mern (due to slow restarts), but I would like to see that change!

It would also be lovely to explore using a node require hook to potentially cache-bust JSX on the server side, or really any other way to eliminate the divergence that comes after many code changes, which require server restarts.

I would love to be more involved with and contribute to the Mern community, so please let us know how. Very happy to finally see activity here! 😀

abinavseelan commented 6 years ago

Hey @mattlubner!

The point "Have a simpler workflow so that you can start your project(s) with much more ease!" is more of an umbrella term for things the community needs or might need to help in their development workflow. Once we've aggregated a list of things, we'll update the issue to highlight the specifics that you'd see in v3.0. This includes reducing server startup time, of course! 😄

Thanks for the suggestions! 🙂

alexandru-tomescu commented 6 years ago

Hi. You could add also a graphql implemententions, /gql/endpoints, this would be great !

chrisLovesCode commented 6 years ago

ready to use graphql crud with apollo would be realy nice

carloscuatin commented 6 years ago

graphql is a example 🎉

lordknight1904 commented 6 years ago

I am sorry if this might be a little bit out of topic. But why MERN stack build time is much higher than MEAN (in server post-modified rebuild). This is quite time consuming.

abinavseelan commented 6 years ago

@lordknight1904 We're actually looking into this and trying to revamp the build pipeline with v3.0. 🙂

@carloscuatin @chrisLovesCode @alexandru-tomescu

GraphQL sounds pretty exciting! We'll evaluate this and see how we can integrate GraphQL into MERN, without bloating the user experience for users who don't want it.

We have a couple of ideas on how we can manage this, and we're currently floating them around the office to get opinions. 😄

carloscuatin commented 6 years ago

@abinavseelan option flag with the mern-cli 👍

how can we help in the new version of mern ?

kamalkrishna3000 commented 6 years ago

When can we expect new version of MERN ?

lordknight1904 commented 6 years ago

Maybe add a default landing page.

lucaskuan commented 6 years ago

Can we start using the 3.0 branch? Cause we have a project that needs to kickstart now and may just use the latest version of MERN.

abinavseelan commented 6 years ago

@lucaskuan

Hey! 👋

I'm sorry. But it's not yet at a stable state to use I'm afraid. 😞 We are doing our best to see this version out as soon as a possible!

v29neil commented 6 years ago

Would love to have swagger/jsdoc support

lucaskuan commented 6 years ago

@abinavseelan I see, looking forward to have it ready. Will there be a huge migration trouble from 2.0 to 3.0? Any tasks that we could contribute to make it happen faster?

TeodorKolev commented 6 years ago

How can I store image using this repo?

My 4 suggestions:

mannyhenri commented 6 years ago

All the suggestions above are great but I'd suggest you focus on the main improvements/upgrade such as React V16+, Router V4, Yarn support and webpack latest versions and build other ideas as extensions. This way build times will be shorter and also GTM faster.

antoniobrandao commented 6 years ago

Webpack 4 is out. Build performance is so much faster it's worth a look.

MiloshN commented 6 years ago

I hope in big MERN update, the official web page will use React. 💃 😄 😅

ajile-in commented 6 years ago

Is this project still active? Haven't seen any commits or PRs merged since a month... Is any other branch being used?

mm420admin commented 6 years ago

Waiting for this...

russellr922 commented 6 years ago

I'm also waiting for this and very excited, any updates on progress? @abinavseelan, Thanks!

m-podlesny commented 6 years ago

What about this param for installation? --scripts-version=tsx or jsx

AugustAtSeattle commented 6 years ago

I'm also waiting for this and very excited, any updates on progress? @abinavseelan, Thanks!

AndrewBestbier commented 6 years ago

Looking forward to trying this out 👍

coderbit-net commented 6 years ago

MERN full-stack project as a boilerplate, with all best practices implemented out of the box and latest up-to-date components/modules, including the possibility to easily put-in your own preferable modules sounds so nice! But, looks too good to be true :)

myarete commented 6 years ago

Yes, at least an update on progress would be amazing :)

gabimoncha commented 6 years ago

How's the work on version 3 going? Will it, also, support JSX files?

russellrosario commented 6 years ago

It looks dead to me. I'd like to contribute as soon as I graduate

EternallLight commented 6 years ago

Hello,

I noticed that the maintainer is to longer working at Hashcode since March. Is that supposed to mean that v 3.0 is never going to be release? @abinavseelan please leave your comments.

ajile-in commented 6 years ago

I think it is a good time to fork the project into another repository, where it can be actively maintained.

Update

Hey all 👋

Thank you for your interest in this project. We started the new version ambitiously a few months back, but due to a sudden change in the priorities of the company, we had to delay it.

However, we love MERN, and we want to finish version 3.0. We are currently looking for active maintainers for this project who can help us release the next version asap. If you are interested, please leave a comment below, and we will get back.

PS: Out of love, the Hashnode team would be sending Power MERN Tees and dev stickers to all the new maintainers of the project. ❤️🍺

mannyhenri commented 6 years ago

@fazlerocks please add me to the team I'll help out. I also have a deep interest in this version 3 to be completed as we have a pending course on MERN Essentials at Lynda/Linkedin Learning I'd like to record sooner than later.

So add @mannyhenri to the maintainers and I'll take a look at where the version is and see how I can give a hand.

mattlubner commented 6 years ago

Hi there @fazlerocks! I'm interested in being an active maintainer of MERN. Reach out and let's chat; there's likely some logistics to figure out with bringing community developers like myself onboard (since MERN development has thus far been managed exclusively by Hashnode employees, if I understand correctly). There's a lot of work to do to hit the "MERN 3.0" milestone, and even more potential work beyond that, if we wish to keep MERN modern with respect to our community as a whole. I'd very much love to be a part of it! 🍻🚀

russellrosario commented 6 years ago

I am interested. I am currently in a coding bootcamp at the University of Miami and they are focused on teaching the MERN stack. I don't know how much I can contribute as a "junior" developer but I'd love to help out if possible.

jnlsn commented 6 years ago

Having just started a MERN project on next.js because this project seemed abandoned, I'm also interested in contributing.

mannyhenri commented 6 years ago

Wow! @fazlerocks with all of us @mattlubner @rosariorussell @jayarnielsen we should be able to bring V3 faster than a parsec! (sorry just saw Han Solo, had to say it). :shipit:

mannyhenri commented 6 years ago

@fazlerocks might it make sense to add a board to the ongoing MERN V3 repo with a todo list as issues and assign them to each of us. You guys probably have something already going, if not, I'd be glad to do a quick rundown of ongoing items, wishlists (what makes sense for V3 and what should be done for later)...like we always say...ship less but have more updates so the MERN community benefits from ongoing updates until we get to V3. And V3, might be simply bringing all dependencies to latest versions and then we look into the future of what can be added?

fazlerocks commented 6 years ago

Yes, that's a great idea. I will get back with the current status of the project by tomorrow EoD. @mannyhenri

myarete commented 6 years ago

I’ll gladly spend some time on this project if we’re able to go off a roadmap like @mannyhenri suggested 👍🏼

v29neil commented 6 years ago

I'll be happy to contribute in v3.

ashifa454 commented 6 years ago

@fazlerocks I would love to contribute in V3.

alexandru-tomescu commented 6 years ago

I would also like to help this project :)

zakpgrove commented 6 years ago

I'm also interested in contributing to V3. Let me know once you have a roadmap put together.

mannyhenri commented 6 years ago

@fazlerocks let me know if you need my help in putting the roadmap together. We have lots of people willing to get started, eager to get this going! ;)

russellr922 commented 6 years ago

@fazlerocks, I would love to help out as well.

All let me know anyone that haven't been added to the maintainers and would like to help out. The team is working on a board where we can define a realistic timeline and issues related to it to get to V3!
