Light Store | Sell your software v20.2.1

• Added package-lock.json for the npm ci command to run properly, preventing a Docker boot error.

(v0.6.3: Amend: Update lockfile to latest)

Features:

• Added product reviews.
  • Users can leave reviews on products if they've bought the product.
  • Users can delete own reviews.
• New full-page cart encourages upselling.
• Added support for multiple gateways. Payment gateways are plug-in based and can be disabled at will.
• Added support for Stripe.
• PayPal now supports webhook notifications for additional payment status updates in case the capture link never gets hit.
• Improved and sped up page redirecting upon link click.
• Added a progress bar for page redirections.
• Improved nav links hover aesthetics.
• Moved asset build step from Dockerfile to docker-entrypoint to happen at runtime.
• Enabled settings caching by default for improved performance.
• Improved error handling in login and register routes now displaying in the form.
• Added a loading state to login/register buttons.
• Added pagination to the "all products" page.
• Carts are now cached for improved performance. You will only notice benefits if you use Redis or Memcached for the cache store (Docker Compose setup uses Redis).
• Added an "Already in cart" button variant for better UX. It redirects to the cart if clicked.

Fixes:

• Fixed download error when using local storage instead of S3.
• HTTPS is now properly passed down in Docker Nginx ensuring no CORS issues occur / requests to HTTP.
• Optimized initial page download size from 2.5 MB to just under 1 MB greatly improving first-visit performance.
• Optimized mobile sizing on landing page.
• Disabled addons no longer show up as available in the product page.

Code & Infrastructural Changes:

• Docker now uses FrankenPHP for serving the website providing massively higher speeds than the previous Nginx + FPM combo. This does not affect you from a usage standpoint and should launch as normal, on the same port. You will notice a significant performance boost though.
• Reorganized Show.tsx and separated concerns into "dumber" components.
• Carts for logged out users are now stored in the database instead of the browser cookie.
• The CartItem type is now defined as Product & { quantity } instead of having just the product name (like { quantity, product_id, name, discount })
• Now using Tailwind v4 from v3 (which no longer uses tailwind.config.ts and instead has variables stored in resources/css/app.css)
• PHP version has been bumped to v8.3 from v8.2.
• Cleaned up React warnings for missing mapping keys & button-to-button descendants.
• The project does not use SrmkLive/PayPal package anymore, utilises custom solution instead.
