v0.5 Env (Candidate)

[matthewmueller]

Goal

Bud is simpler to deploy to a PaaS like Heroku and Fly.io because it's a stock Go application that longer depends on Node.js. We're taking inspiration from Rails here which recently switched off Node.js in favor of import maps.

Deliverable

Demo that rebuilds the minimal HN clone, but without Node and deployed to Fly.io.

Added an RFC for supporting Import Maps. Feedback welcome!

The plenti project has successfully removed nodejs since 2020-08, how soon will the bud v0.3 (without nodejs) be released? I'm very much expecting the bud v0.3.

[matthewmueller]

A slight nuance is that Bud doesn't use Node.js today, it uses V8. We do still rely on the svelte and livebud packages to be in node_modules/, but Bud doesn't care how you get them there.

I'm working on improving the viewer with: #401. I'm going to try to make node_modules optional, but I think in practice, most people will want to install dependencies this way.

What do you think @diyism ?

[diyism]

I'm confused, are you saying the bud v0.2.8 has removed the Node v14+ requirement? but the project Readme.md still has it:

[diyism]

I found svelte-bun which realized realtime building of svelte components on dev environment.
But Bun is not on golang.

I see you've replaced nodejs with v8go, so the "Node v14+" can be deleted from the Readme.md?
