Road to 1.0

vike-{express,hono,...} packages

• Allow users to skip specifying a server entry
• Or users can create a server entry and export app (the first parameter of apply())

vike-server package

• Require users to have a custom server entry
• Users will have to manually include a vike-server middleware into the server

Features

All packages above must support the following:

• +middleware files
• HMR
• normal build
• standalone build
• custom pageContext
• sirv (not all servers will be compatible)
• compress (not all servers will be compatible)

Remaining interrogations

• How to handle cloud providers like vike-cloudflare?

Steps

• Rename vike-node to vike-server (refactor: rename vike-node into vike-server #63)
• Cleanup/refactor codebase (Upgrade dependencies #65, refactor #66, ...)
• Release vike-server stable version
• Add a deprecation message in vike-node and bump major, then release
• Create vike-{express,...} packages

Sounds good.

I wonder what the path of least resistance could be. Maybe this:

• Rename vike-node => vike-server (and bump major)
• Move the "last mile" universal-middleware related code (only a couple of LOC) to vike-{express,hono,...}

That's it and relatively easy? I.e. 98% of the code would still live at vike-server.

Allow users to skip specifying a server entry

Would be awesome indeed, although I'd say it's lower prio than the rest.
