storyboard v3.0.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2017-02-18 // about 7 years ago

  • 💥 Breaking change

    • 📦 All Storyboard listeners/plugins are now available as separate packages. Following the steps of Babel and others, Storyboard no longer comes with everything but the kitchen sink built in. In other words, you need to add your listeners to your package.json, for example:
      "dependencies": {
    "storyboard": "^3.0.0",
    "storyboard-listener-console": "^3.0.0",
    "storyboard-listener-ws-server": "^3.0.0",
    "storyboard-listener-ws-client": "^3.0.0",
    "storyboard-listener-browser-extension": "^3.0.0",
  }

    ...but in exchange you won't be dragging in express, socket.io, socket.io-client when you're only interested in the console, or pg when you have no database in sight.

    Enabling listeners is pretty much the same as in Storyboard v2, only loaded from the separate package:

      import { mainStory, addListener } from 'storyboard';
  import consoleListener from 'storyboard-listener-console';
  addListener(consoleListener, options);

  mainStory.info('Hi there!');

    For convenience, a console preset is provided (make sure you add both storyboard-preset-console and storyboard to your package.json file):

      import 'storyboard-preset-console';
  import { mainStory } from 'storyboard';

  mainStory.info('Hi there!');

    Nerdy note: Storyboard is now a monorepo, i.e. separate packages, all under one roof, glued together with yarn a tool called oao.
