Hello friends 👋

I hope you had a fantastic month! We are back for the second issue of This Month in Solid!

First, thank you so much for the fantastic feedback last month. I'm really happy you found it helpful, and I hope you continue to enjoy it.

This month had a ton of stuff happening, including something a lot of people had been looking forward to 👀

Before hopping into it, let's review how This Month in Solid works.

The format

Inspired by Ryan Carniato This Week in JavaScript and Sébastien Lorber This Week In React, I plan to publish, at the end of every month, a compilation of updates, posts, and videos about the Solid world.

Each post will be split in the following way:

  • Solid Updates: updates from the core team, organization, or documentation.

  • Ecosystem Updates: updates from people building stuff for or with Solid.

  • Found online: videos, posts, and tweets about Solid and/or Solid-related topics.

  • Things to look out for: announced things related to Solid and its community.

The goal is to give you a monthly update about all things SolidJS. So, without further ado, let's dive into our second This Month in Solid.

Solid Updates

SolidStart v0.7.0 - Calm Before the Storm

v0.7.0 - Calm Before the Storm

The last release before getting to 1.0 RC. In this release, you can count on the following things:

  • FileRoutes are their own export

  • Support for breaking out of nested routes

  • getServerFunctionMeta

  • Dropped direct interop with Solid's Request Event and H3

SolidStart v1.0 RC - Clown Town

v1.0 RC - Clown Town

This was long-awaited, but we are super happy and proud to share that The v.1.0 RC is finally here!

This release is dedicated to everyone who contributed to the project and helped push SolidStart to what it is today!

The Solid Docs now include SolidStart

Atila gave a fantastic talk at React Paris, and during it, he shared with the world this wonderful news:

Yup, the Solid Docs now include SolidStart. We migrated everything that existed on the Start docs, enhanced some things, and are working hard to add new content.
