What's new in Remix 2.7

Remix finalized the Vite build process, improved static site generation, enabled split server bundles and enhanced control over client-only and server-only separation

The premier improvement is that Remix 2.7 stabilizes the Vite build process.

Other new features include:

• SPA Mode: Remix now supports building static sites that don’t require a JavaScript server, maintaining features like automatic code splitting and route module prefetching.
• Remix now supports Vite’s basename feature, allowing running Remix from a subdirectory.
• Cloudflare Pages Support: A new Vite plugin integrates Cloudflare’s tooling with Remix for static sizes.
• Split Server Bundles: Thanks to work at Vercel, Remix’s build system allows splitting server bundles across routes.
• Better Server and Client Separation: Improvements have been made to prevent server-only code from ending up in client builds, with compile-time errors now raised for any such occurrences.
• vite-env-only Plugin: A standalone Vite plugin allows marking expressions as server-only or client-only, enhancing code safety and flexibility.
• .css?url Imports: Appending ?url to CSS imports allows support for pre- and post-processing with PostCSS, Tailwind, CSS Modules, SASS and others.
• Build directory: instead of public/build and build folders, Remix now uses build/client and build/server.
