Roadmap

✅ Stage 1 — Client-First SPA​

Foundation: a zero-config React SPA with type-safe routing and data fetching.

  • createApp({ routeTree }) — wires Router + QueryClient + DOM mount
  • Code-based routing via TanStack Router (nested layouts, typed loaders)
  • Data fetching via TanStack Query (re-exported hooks)
  • CLI: npx @evjs/create-app, ev dev, ev build

✅ Stage 2 — Server Functions​

Call server-side logic from the browser as normal async functions.

  • "use server" directive detection via SWC AST parsing
  • Client/server transforms with stable SHA-256 function IDs
  • query(fn).useQuery() / mutation(fn).useMutation() — zero-boilerplate wrappers
  • Pluggable ServerTransport interface
  • Hono-based server with multi-runtime adapters
  • Versioned manifest schema (manifest.json v1)

✅ Stage 3 — Zero-Config Fullstack Framework​

  • Zero-config ev build / ev dev — no webpack.config.cjs needed
  • ev.config.ts with defineConfig() for optional customization
  • webpack Node API — no temp config files, no subprocess spawning

✅ Stage 4 — Plugin System & Build Metadata​

  • EvPlugin interface with name + setup() → lifecycle hooks (buildStart, bundler, transformHtml, buildEnd)
  • Manifest client section (client.assets, client.routes)
  • Template symlinks for npx @evjs/create-app

🔲 Exploring​

Future directions under consideration:

  • MPA — client.pages field for multi-entry builds
  • Server context — request context (headers, cookies, auth) for server functions
  • SSR — server-side rendering with hydration
  • RSC — React Server Components via Flight protocol
  • More bundlers — Rspack, Vite plugins via @evjs/build-tools
