What's new in 2.1.0

Release 2.1.0 is a compatibility release for the core Magento 2.3.1 release.

Notable changes include:

  • Updated GraphQL queries
  • Magento GraphQL query validation tool

Updated GraphQL queries

The Magento 2.3.1 release contains GraphQL schema changes that are not compatible with PWA Studio 2.0.0 presentational components. This release adds a mapping layer to the wrapper components to maintain backwards compatibility for the presentational components.

This update also includes a change to the .env.dist file in the Venia project. This change sets the MAGENTO_BACKEND_URL variable to that of a Magento 2.3.1 instance.

If you have previously set up Venia and copied the .env.dist file into your project's .env file, you must update the MAGENTO_BACKEND_URL variable to keep your project compatible.

Pull Request: #990

Query validation tool

PWA Studio 2.1.0 creates a new graphql-cli plugin called validate-magento-pwa-queries to replace the validate-queries.js script in the Venia package.

This tool lets developers know when a breaking change occurs with GraphQL to address incompatibility or breaking changes. It provides clear error messages regarding where and how to resolve issues.

Pull Request: #1004
