Modular 2.2.0

Support for react-error-overlay with esbuild

react-error-overlay is now shown when running modular start in esbuild mode, if the application fails to compile or throws a runtime exception.

Support for web workers in esbuild

Web Workers are supported in esbuild mode. See the documentation for in-depth info.

Same output file structure for builds in esbuild and webpack

  • CSS file generation moved /static/css/* instead of /static/js
  • modular build now produces hashed asset names for cache busting via esbuild hashing API.
