Whatβs new in v5?
The tech changes we've made in v5 open the doors to a lot of new capabilities.
If you are using v4, none of these changes will affect your current websites. Since all of our CDN URLs are version-locked, youβll continue to use the same libraries you are using now until you upgrade to the newer versions, someday, if you want to.
The v5 Tech Stack
Weβve changing from a JavaScript ES6 codebase to TypeScript
Weβve changed fully from CSS to SASS.
Weβve eliminating all use of jQuery in the libraries.
Weβve separated classes through the library into discrete source files
Weβve bundled the distributed files differently for even greater efficiency
We've integrated debugging features
Weβre excited about the tremendous capabilities the new stack gives us.
Switching to v5
If you choose to switch to the upgraded v5 libraries at some point, youβll see a few minor integration changes;
Javascript <script> elements;
Will be moved from the before-/body section to the before-/head section of your pages and site-wide code settings.
The library URLs will change to point at the
/dist/
path, rather than the/src/
path.You'll also notice that the
type=module
is dropped
CSS <link>
elements will essentially remain unchanged, and will continue to point to /dist/css/
All of this is covered in the docs for each feature, and weβll update the docs as each library is migrated, so that you can upgrade them if you choose to.
What about attribute or code changes?
You can simply reference the new libraries with no changes to your custom attributes or existing features- and youβll still get the enhanced features and performance benefits.
Will I need to upgrade to v5 eventually?
Nope! If youβre happy with things as they are and donβt need any of the new features, you donβt need to change a thing. v4 will continue to run indefinitely.
