New CLI command `$ vike eject`

[brillout]

Description

Make Vike integrations ejectable.

For example $ vike eject vike-react-apollo would essentially do two things:

• Move code from node_modules/vike-react-apollo/ to the user-land pages/. (Or better yet its TypeScript source code.)
• Remove vike-react-apollo from package.json#dependencies.

Eject is also nice from a marketing perspecitve as it doubles down on the Optional Control USP.

This would be massive in terms of the company project we're considering vike for

[brillout]

@tbjgolden How so?

[tbjgolden]

Optional control is something we care about - we'd obviously prefer to trust a preset that others also use but if needs must we'd be able to maintain some custom code

Nothing specific in mind, more of a insurance policy that makes it easier to get sign off on it

[brillout]

Yes, that‘s the idea. In the meantime you can manually eject.

[brillout]

@tbjgolden Also btw. in case that's something your company would be up for, Vike is looking for sponsors. (As a bonus Vike could then, for example, prioritize eject.)

Another use case I can think of is when a user may want to eject specific files, like onRenderHtml.ts and onRenderClient.ts, rather than ejecting everything.

For example $ vike eject vike-react onRenderHtml,onRenderClient would essentially perform the following actions:

• Copy code from node_modules/vike-react/ to the user-land pages/ (or renderer/).
• Add import of those files to +config.ts. (May not be necessary ?)

Edit

• Also needs to be added to export default {}.

I'm not sure that would work, unless every imported module(in the ejected files) are (re)exported from vike-react.

Yeah, I think you're right. I've updated my comment.
