Migrate from v9 to v12

The basic usage of Poi doesn't really change, it's still a webpack based tool. However the CLI usages and config options did have many changes.

CLI Usages

Previously in Poi 9 there're four commands:

  • poi: Default command which starts a dev server and bundle the app in development mode
  • poi build: Bundle app in production mode, i.e. minified and optimized.
  • poi test: Do nothing.
  • poi watch: Bundle app and watch files for changes.

Now there's only one command which is poi:

v9 v12
poi poi --serve
poi build poi --prod poi --production
poi test poi --test
poi watch poi --watch

Check out CLI Usages for more details.

FAQ

What about my Vue.js projects?

Vue still gets built-in support, however you need to install both vue and vue-template-compiler in your project.
