fix(deps): replace @bigcommerce/handlebars-v4 with npm alias - #407
Merged
Conversation
Drop the @bigcommerce/handlebars-v4 wrapper dependency in favor of an npm alias (handlebars-v4 -> handlebars@4.7.9). Modern npm tooling supports aliases, so a separately published package is no longer needed to load handlebars v3 and v4 side by side. Publishing this as a release removes the wrapper from consumers' transitive dependency tree. Runtime is imported via the handlebars-v4/runtime.js subpath since the bare handlebars export has no .runtime property. Refs TRAC-961

What? Why?
@bigcommerce/handlebars-v4wrapper dependency with an npm alias:handlebars-v4→handlebars@4.7.9(same version the wrapper pinned).npm:handlebars@4) does this with no separately published package — same pattern already used for v3 instencil-renderer-worker.handlebars-v4/runtime.jssubpath. The barehandlebarsexport has no.runtimeproperty; only the old wrapper added it.@bigcommerce/handlebars-v4(this is a published dep of the worker / bundle-service, so it must release first).How was it tested?
npm test— 888 tests pass (parity with pre-change baseline).npm run lint— clean.require('handlebars-v4').VERSION === '4.7.9'andhandlebars-v4/runtime.jstemplate fn present;@bigcommerce/handlebars-v4absent fromnode_modules.
