Light Blue React Node.js React Admin Dashboard Template with Node.JS Backend

Changelog

[Unreleased]

[8.3.3] - 2026-02-23

• Dependency and runtime cleanup:
  • removed Vite Node polyfill plugin and legacy browserify/polyfill packages (assert, crypto-browserify, os-browserify, process, stream-browserify, stream-http, url, vm-browserify);
  • removed direct lodash usage from app code paths and replaced it with local utility helpers in form/user formatters;
  • pinned transitive lodash to a safe version via npm override (^4.17.23).
• Lockfile update:
  • added yarn.lock for Yarn install parity while keeping npm lockfile in place.

[8.3.2] - 2026-02-23

• Phase 1 modernization baseline fixes:
  • fixed dead fallback redirect in app shell (/app/main/visits -> /app/main/dashboard);
  • hardened AuthRoute against missing location.state;
  • normalized login/register/forgot links to absolute auth routes;
  • replaced obsolete layout test with route-guard smoke tests;
  • removed conflicting project-level babel.config.js to align with CRA toolchain.
• Tooling baseline updates:
  • added explicit ajv@^8.18.0 dev dependency to fix webpack/schema-utils ajv resolution during build;
  • documented working install path (npm install --force) in README.
• Phase 2 modernization updates:
  • migrated build/dev/preview workflow to Vite + SWC (vite.config.js, root index.html);
  • removed CRA/rewired build overrides (config-overrides.js, public/index.html, react-app-rewired, react-scripts);
  • migrated test runner to Vitest and retained route-guard smoke coverage;
  • migrated runtime env handling to Vite-compatible app env bridge (VITE_BACKEND + __APP_ENV__);
  • kept build output compatibility (build/) and added Node memory guard for large production bundle builds;
  • standardized lockfile strategy to npm (package-lock.json).
• Dependency refresh batch 1:
  • low-risk update: bootstrap upgraded within major (5.2.3 -> 5.3.8);
  • major update block A: axios (0.27.2 -> 1.13.5), jsonwebtoken (8.5.1 -> 9.0.3), cross-env (7.0.3 -> 10.1.0);
  • adjusted SCSS override to keep build compatibility with Bootstrap 5.3 variable changes.
• Dependency refresh batch 2:
  • updated react-slick (0.30.3 -> 0.31.0), showdown (1.9.1 -> 2.1.0), and uuid (8.3.2 -> 13.0.0);
  • fixed redux-thunk import usage for v3 named export (ReduxThunk -> thunk) to restore production build compatibility.
• Dependency refresh batch 3:
  • updated form/data libs: formik (1.5.8 -> 2.4.9), yup (0.32.11 -> 1.7.1), react-toastify (6.2.0 -> 11.0.5), react-select (3.2.0 -> 5.10.2), filesize (6.4.0 -> 11.0.13);
  • updated utility libs: formsy-react (0.19.5 -> 2.3.2) and styled-components (5.3.11 -> 6.3.11).
• Dependency refresh batch 4:
  • updated UI/demo libs: react-dropzone (11.7.1 -> 15.0.0), react-autosize-textarea (5.0.1 -> 7.1.0), react-syntax-highlighter (13.5.3 -> 16.1.0), react-animate-height (2.1.2 -> 3.2.3), rc-slider (9.7.5 -> 11.1.9), react-bootstrap-table-next (3.3.5 -> 4.0.3), react-bootstrap-table2-toolkit (1.4.2 -> 2.1.3);
  • migrated removed rc-slider tooltip helper API usage to v11-compatible slider usage in documentation/forms pages.
• Dependency refresh batch 5:
  • updated chart libs: highcharts (10.3.3 -> 12.5.0), apexcharts (3.54.1 -> 5.6.0), react-apexcharts (1.9.0 -> 2.0.1);
  • updated calendar stack to @fullcalendar/* 6.1.20 and adapted calendar config for v6 (initialView, list view target listWeek, removed deprecated plugin CSS imports).
• Dependency refresh batch 6:
  • removed React-16/17-locked dependencies: connected-react-router, react-bootstrap-table-next, react-bootstrap-table2-toolkit, react-bootstrap-table2-paginator, react-google-maps, react-images, react-maskedinput, react-mde, react-shuffle, react-sortable-hoc, react-sortable-tree, react-table;
  • replaced dependency-driven implementations with local/runtime-safe equivalents:
  • custom navigation action boundary + shared history singleton (no connected-react-router);
  • native/Reactstrap tables in users/management/dynamic pages (search + pagination preserved);
  • iframe-based map component for maps/timeline pages;
  • modal-based gallery image viewer;
  • local masked input and auto-resize textarea components;
  • local markdown editor (write/preview with Showdown);
  • native drag-and-drop sortable list implementation for list groups demo;
  • removed stale third-party CSS imports tied to deleted packages.
• Dependency refresh batch 7:
  • migrated router runtime to react-router-dom v7 (Routes/Route/Navigate) across app shell, main layout, and documentation layout;
  • removed deprecated router dependencies: react-router, history, react-router-hash-link;
  • replaced route guard implementation (AdminRoute, UserRoute, AuthRoute) with v7-compatible wrapper components and refreshed route smoke tests;
  • introduced local withRouter bridge (src/components/withRouter.js) to keep class-component routes working during phased hooks migration;
  • replaced hash-link usage in docs scrollspy with react-router-dom Link.
• Dependency refresh batch 8:
  • upgraded framework/tooling stack: react/react-dom (18.3.1 -> 19.2.4), eslint (9.39.x -> 10.0.1);
  • upgraded chart/sortable stack: echarts (4.9.0 -> 6.0.0), echarts-for-react (2.0.16 -> 3.0.6), react-sortablejs (1.5.1 -> 6.1.4);
  • removed obsolete CRA-era dependencies no longer used under Vite: react-app-polyfill, react-dev-utils, sass-loader;
  • migrated ECharts imports to modular echarts/core registration compatible with ECharts 6.
• Phase 5 legacy cleanup batch:
  • migrated app shell entry and docs shell from class/connect/withRouter to hooks (App, DocumentationLayout, DocumentationHeader, DocumentationSidebar);
  • completed migration away from react-redux connect(...) HOC to hooks across app-level screens/components;
  • converted all header/sidebar icon components to functional React components;
  • migrated ecommerce pages/components (Products, Product, ProductCard) to hooks and removed router HOC usage;
  • migrated ecommerce management flows (Management, ProductEdit) to hooks and useNavigate/useLocation adapter for existing product thunks;
  • migrated legacy auth pages (/pages/login, /pages/register) and users form page to hooks-based implementation;
  • migrated users view and rickshaw-based widgets/charts (UsersViewItem, ChangesChart, RealtimeTraffic, dashboard Rickshaw) away from connect classes;
  • replaced sidebar LinksGroup HOC routing dependency with native useLocation hook and removed obsolete local withRouter bridge.
• Phase 4 state modernization:
  • moved auth/users side effects to reusable service layer (src/services/authService.js, src/services/usersService.js);
  • migrated users auth-domain thunks to async/await with safer shared error-message handling;
  • consolidated registration state ownership in auth reducer and removed duplicated legacy register reducer/actions;
  • cleaned users state compatibility fields (findLoading/loading, list modal/delete metadata) and removed stale empty dashboard reducer.
• Phase 5 progress:
  • removed deprecated lifecycle methods from source components (componentWillMount, componentWillReceiveProps);
  • migrated users route-level pages (UsersListPage, UsersViewPage, ChangePasswordFormPage) from class components to hooks-based functional components;
  • migrated auth route-level pages (Login, Register, Forgot, Reset, Verify) from class components to hooks-based functional components;
  • migrated app shell components (Layout, Header, Sidebar) from class components to hooks-based functional components.
• Phase 6 quality hardening:
  • introduced repository lint gate with ESLint flat config and npm run lint command;
  • added GitHub Actions CI workflow (.github/workflows/ci.yml) for npm ci, npm run lint, npm run build, and npm test.
• Dependency cleanup and release docs:
  • removed unused direct dependencies from runtime manifest: buffer, https-browserify, jsonwebtoken, md5, rc-hammerjs;
  • removed yarn.lock to keep npm as the single package manager lock source;
  • added migration and release docs (docs/migration-notes.md, docs/adr/0001-routing-and-runtime-baseline.md, docs/release-checklist.md, docs/rollback-recovery.md).
• Runtime/tooling compatibility:
  • aligned Node engine range to ^20.19.0 || >=22.12.0 to support current Node 22 environments and Vite 7 requirements.
  • React 19 is active; some legacy demo dependencies still declare React 18 peer ranges, so install currently uses npm peer override behavior (npm install --force) until those packages are replaced.
