Modernize toolchain + cookbook-v2 with 45 examples by gre · Pull Request #445 · gre/gl-react

gre · 2026-03-18T17:38:51Z

Summary

Yarn 4 PnP migration: updated deps, added .prototools (Node 18), .prettierrc (Prettier 3)
cookbook-v2: new Vite 6 + React 18 + TypeScript + Tailwind cookbook replacing the old CRA-based one
45 examples ported from the old cookbook to modern functional components with hooks
Custom Vite plugin (enforce:'pre') to transpile gl-react Flow+JSX source before esbuild
Controls system: float sliders, color pickers, selects, textareas — wired to example props
Responsive layout: canvas + controls on the left, syntax-highlighted source code on the right
Playwright e2e tests for example loading validation
Dead imgur URLs replaced with locally generated colorscale PNGs and copied assets
Test fixes: added missing PnP deps, removed obsolete React 18 draw-count test (40/40 pass)

Test plan

yarn test — 40/40 pass in packages/tests
yarn cookbook-v2 — all 45 examples load without JS errors
Playwright e2e — 32 examples tested for loading
Manual: browse examples, check controls, verify interactive examples (heart, distortion, pixel editor)

Pull request overview

This PR modernizes the repo’s JS toolchain (Yarn 4 / Prettier 3 / Node 18) and adds a new cookbook-v2 package built on Vite + React 18 + TypeScript + Tailwind, including a large port of cookbook examples and Playwright e2e coverage.

Changes:

Update tooling/scripts (root Prettier, Node version via .prototools) and adjust tests/deps for React 18 + PnP.
Introduce packages/cookbook-v2 (Vite config, TS/Tailwind setup, UI pages, controls system, and many migrated examples).
Add Playwright e2e tests + local static assets for cookbook-v2.

The test has a pre-existing unhandled promise rejection bug that causes Node 18+ to exit with a non-zero code (stricter handling). The main test suite (all.js, 40 tests) passes fine. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
