Coralite v0.4.0

Thomas David - 27 Jan 25

Coralite’s latest release, **v0.4.0**, introduces foundational updates to its HTML module static site generator, with a focus on improving template handling and End-to-End (E2E) testing infrastructure. This update includes a breaking change that renames the -c/--components option to -t/--templates, reflecting a shift in architecture toward explicit template management.

Key Changes #

• BREAKING CHANGE: The -c/--components command-line option has been deprecated in favor of -t/--templates, aligning with a new emphasis on template-driven rendering. Documentation and type definitions have been updated accordingly.
• Moved component-related files to the templates directory, improving organisational clarity for project structures.
• Updated evalComputedTokens function to ensure compatibility with modern Node.js versions through revised Dirent handling in package.json parsing.
• Enhanced TypeScript definitions by adding the CoraliteComment type and updating CoralTypePath for better template-specific metadata extraction.

Infrastructure Improvements #

• Integrated Playwright for E2E testing, including a dedicated debug webserver and updated CI/CD pipelines to run tests across one browser per branch event.
• Added E2E test coverage for index.html, ensuring core rendering logic is validated during development and deployment workflows.
• Refactored CI configurations, including the addition of --experimental-vm-modules to the HTML script for broader compatibility.
