The team is now working on the WordPress Interactivity API. This unblocks the same UX Frontity framework enabled but directly in WordPress Core, fully compatible with the new Site Editor.
After upgrading frontity to 1.10.0 when i run npx frontity dev i get
Error: Unexpected token ‘export’
I use npm version 6.13.6 and node version 12.16.1
I also tried to downgrade frontity to the previous version i used, but still get this error.
Here the repository:
Will be thankful for any help.
Best,
Dejan

Hey @dejangeorgiev
I think what might have happened is that you have manually updated frontity to ^1.10.0 in the package.json and then ran npm install. This gave you the new version of frontity but because of the package-json.lock file the dependencies like @frontity/core were not updated!
We have recently merged a change in https://github.com/frontity/frontity/pull/501 which removed a feature from frontity and moved it to frontity/core. So, you got the new version of frontity without the feature, but you haven’t installed the new version of @frontity/core where we moved it.
If you delete the package-lock file and the node_modules and re-run npm install, your project will run successfully
In the meantime, we’re gonna have a look if the dependency version mismatch is something that we can improve on our side

@luisherranz Mentioning you because you might be interested.
I think this is a use case we didn’t think of. That users can just upgrade frontity and expect it to work. @frontity/core is not a dependency of frontity because we want to keep frontity lightweight and the users might end up with a package version mismatch like how it happened here.
@juanma I mention you here in case that it’s that something that should be more prominent in the docs. By that I mean that frontity is a modular framework that is composed of packages that need to be updated together.

We could add @frontity/core as a peerDependency of frontity.
We could get rid of @frontity/core and merge it with frontity, but I don’t think it’s a good idea because of the way react-easy-state works: it needs to be added present only once. Making it a dependency of @frontity/core (which is guaranteed to be added only once at the root project level) ensures it. This was that fix: https://github.com/frontity/frontity/pull/329

Yeah, I think peerDependencies is the way to go in that case

Hey @mmczaplinski
Well, i tried with npm i frontity@latest.
Thank you very much for provide this solution. It works fine!
It just occurred to me that if this is not enough, we can check the @frontity/core version each time npx frontity dev runs and instruct the user to update it.
