What’s Next For Masonite 1.6
Recently, Masonite 1.5 was release with the help of @mapeveri who is really passionate about seeing the framework be successful! If you haven’t already visited the framework then be sure to check it out!
What will be in 1.6
Masonite 1.5 was a really big release and came with a lot of new features and changes
We worked hard to bring you this release and I think everyone will really enjoy it but for Masonite 1.6, we are going to slow the roll for new releases and focus primarily on polishing the features already implemented. We have been building software with Masonite and have noticed things that work perfectly but could be changed around a bit to improve developer happiness.
Although there may be some new features with Masonite 1.6 and possibly a new official package called Masonite Billing, our primary goal with the current core developers (and any new contributors that would like to come along) is to focus on small improvements to the overall API in order to improve the happiness of the developers using it.
Some of the polishing changes will include:
- Adding an optional
http_onlyflag to setting cookies so Javascript code can interact with cookies better. - Brainstorm and implement improvements to redirecting backwards
- Driver requirements should be installed as needed instead of all coming with the framework bundle.
- Add improvements to the controller command to scaffold out templated controllers
- Add custom error pages
- Add a static file helper method inside templates
And any other small issues that come to the minds of Masonite’s developers throughout the days.
