Join the road to AdonisJS v6
Hello 👋
I am seeing you after a very long time. We sent our last newsletter in January, and now I am back with some exciting news.
We are working day and night on the next major release of AdonisJS, version 6. The goal of the release is to adopt ESM, iron out the rough edges of the framework, and implement some long pending features.
We have written a detailed summary on "What to Expect of AdonisJS 6?".. You can read this article to understand the scope of the upcoming major release.
Trying the Alpha release today
The core of the framework and some official packages are in good shape and well-documented for v6, and we have been using it internally for a few months already.
We decided to open the Alpha release of AdonisJS to our sponsors so that we can work closely with you and shape the framework's future.
You can learn more about the Sponsorship program here. But let me give you a quick summary of it.
- Access to the in-depth v6 documentation
- Collection of On-boarding screencasts
- Access to our internal project management tasks board
- Join monthly office hours conference calls
Once again, you can learn more about the Sponsorship program on our website.
Other news
During the last six months, we have done a ton of work and released a couple of new open-source projects/integrations.
- VineJS is a framework-agnostic, super-fast validation library for Node.js. It will be the official validation module for AdonisJS as well.
- Support for Snapshot testing and Browser testing (via Playwright) in Japa. Japa is the testing framework used by AdonisJS.
- Japa integration with the VSCode test explorer. You can view and run tests of your AdonisJS application directly from the VSCode.
- And a lot of unreleased work that will unveil during the v6 launch. Super hyped about that 💪
