Improved head management

We've made a ton of improvements to <head> management when using vike-{react,vue,solid}.

See Guides > <head> tags.

It's already implemented and released for vike-react. For vike-{vue,solid} the ETA is this week (first August days).

vike-react-apollo

We released a new Vike extension vike-react-apollo to seamlessly use vike-react with GraphQL Apollo.

Like other extensions, vike-react-apollo is lightweight (only 202 lines of code!). This means that, instead of using vike-react-apollo, you can easily integrate GraphQL Apollo (or any other GraphQL client) yourself.

Both vike-react and vike-react-apollo are lightweight thanks to the heavy lifting done by Vike and react-streaming. This showcases Vike's philosophy of having a sturdy core with lightweight extensions.

vike-node

One fundamental feature missing for releasing Vike 1.0.0 is being able to use Vite to transpile server code such as Express.js or Hono code (#562).

We released a new package vike-node for that purpose.

It's somewhat experimental so expect issues here and there. We may built it directly into Vike (instead of being a separate package).

Improved URL handling

Vike exports a new modifyUrl() utility, which is convenient for internationalization as shown in the example at Guides > Internationalization (i18n).

Also, pageContext.urlParsed has new properties:

http://localhost:3000/some-base-url/hello/s%C3%A9bastien

{
  pathname: '/hello/sébastien',
  pathnameOriginal: '/some-base-url/hello/s%C3%A9bastien',
  search: {},
  searchAll: {},
  searchOriginal: null,
  hash: '',
  hashOriginal: null,
  origin: 'http://localhost:3000',
  // Without Base URL, doesn't decode escaped characters
  href: 'http://localhost:3000/hello/s%C3%A9bastien', 
  protocol: 'http://', 
  hostname: 'localhost', 
  port: 3000
}

injectScriptsAt

The new injectScriptsAt setting allows you to control where Vike injects scripts.

It was already possible with injectFilter() but only partially: injectScriptsAt allows you to inject scripts at the beginning of the HTML stream. It's also simpler to use than injectFilter() and it can be used by Vike extensions.

clientOnly()

Not only Vue and Solid users, but now also React users can use the clientOnly() helper which has the same functionality as the <ClientOnly> wrapper (now deprecated) but with a much improved DX.

Internal refactoring

We continuously work on internal improvements. They aren't visible to the user but they have a foundational impact on Vike and its ecosystem.

For example:

New marketing

We've been talking with the community to gather feedback for the upcoming new marketing. For example:
