v2.0.0-rc.10

This is our tenth release candidate for v2.0.0 of Reaction.
Please check it out and let us know what works and what doesn't for you.

This release is being coordinated with reaction-platform and is designed to work with the same versions of reaction-next-starterkit and reaction-hydra.

Improvements

UI Removal

We have removed several UI components to transition and solidify that in 2.0 the application will only be used as an API and a UI for shop operators.

Additional PRs will be coming to remove other pieces of the storefront UI bit by bit until only an operator UI is left. (#4947 , #4948)

Performance Tweaks

• We have done a bunch of performance tweaks to increase performance and initial boot time! We removed the reaction-cli with this update. (Meteor and Docker performance tweaks #4992)

General

• We have added the ability for shops to apply surcharges depending on criteria for an order. (feat: shipping surcharges #4829)
• We have added a new Navigation Manager UI for Operator 2.0. (feat: navigation manager UI #4936)
• We have added envalid as a dependency for validating environment variables. (Tags - Backend: Tag Listing Page products can be sorted by Featured order #4983)
• We changed the GraphIQL url from localhost:3000/graphiql to localhost:3000/graphql-alpha

GraphQL

• We have streamlined the way plugins register functions that can transform media objects for a product. (Allow plugins to transform catalog product media  #4987)
• We have implemented GraphQL subscriptions support. (GraphQL subscriptions #4938)

Custom Data

• We have added the capability to add a custom data object when placing an order. (feat: support storing custom fields on orders when placing #4962)
• We have added the capability for calculateOrderTaxes to return a custom data object. (feat: allow tax services to add custom data to taxes #4955)

Custom Plugins

• We have coalesced the separate env.example files from custom Reaction plugins into one file to reduce tedious integration steps. (feat: Use .env.example files from custom plugins #5003)

Breaking Changes

AppEvents

• We have replaced all Hooks usage with the newer appEvents. This does not break anything within the core and included plugins, however:
  If you use community or custom plugins that depend on the @reactioncommerce/hooks package, you will need to update or obtain updated versions that use context.appEvents instead.
  If you have a plugin that uses MethodHooks, update it to implement those hooks a different way.
  review all appEvents consumed and emitted by custom plugins. Update expected and emitted arguments. See the table. (Replace all Hooks with appEvents #4915)

Multiple Payment Support

• All of the individual placeOrder* GraphQL mutations provided by the built-in payment plugins are removed and replaced with a single placeOrder mutation which supports multiple payments. Any custom payment method plugins will break due to the removal of createOrder internal mutation. Look at all changes. (Rewrite placeOrder and support multiple payments for an order #4908)

Surcharges

• When applying surcharges to certain methods, there is a delay in the update. (Surcharge updating is delayed #4984)

Updates

• RefactorinventoryQuantity to inventoryInStock in Products collection, update if used in your codebase. (refactor: Update inventoryQuantity field to be inventoryInStock #4930)

Removals

• There is no longer a storefront catalog grid (Remove storefront catalog grid #4973)
• There is no longer a Checkout UI (Remove the cart UI #4948)
• There is no longer a Cart UI (Remove the cart UI #4948)

New Documents

We have added new documentation! :
