Introducing 4.0!

In v4, everything has changed internally.

#Performance

With version 4.0.0-next.16, performance has improved approximately 6 times compared to previous versions, allowing it to handle three times more requests.

Performance Benchmark

Note: There was a significant performance drop when updating from 2.0 to 3.0, but this issue has been resolved with the 4.0 update, making it even faster.

#New Compiler

In the existing zely, esbuild was used as the default loader.
Although esbuild is still the default loader, zely introduced a new loader serpack based on swc.
It will increase the expandability of zely in the future.

zely dev --serpack

Serpack is less performant than esbuild (but it still fast!), it has the advantage of being optimized for zely.

#Build Server

Server build feature added!
You can bundle multiple typescript pages into one JavaScript File.

auto importing feature isn't supported.

Refer: Build Server

#CLI Request Tool

No more writing code during server development, such as creating separate JavaScript files to check if it works properly.

$ zely request
 
▸ baseURL: http://localhost:3001
 
[12:31:35 AM] info checking server... (requesting /)
 
GET> /
200 {"msg":"Hello","name":""}
GET>

Set header or method using JavaScript code in input prompt.

GET> config1 = { method: "POST", headers: { }, body: { name: "Cat" } }
GET> set(config1)
POST(config1)> /greeting
200 Hello, Cat!

#HTML Support

The new HTML loader goes through a compilation step instead of just passing the original HTML file, which increases responsiveness. - learn more

To use HTML loader, enable experimental.useHTML.

import { defineConfig } from 'zely';
 
export default defineConfig({
  experimental: {
    useHTML: true,
  },
});
