Upgrade from 2.x to 3.x

The upgrade path from 2.x to 3.x of Reptar requires a few steps.

1. Create a new file in the same directory as your _config.yml file named reptar.config.js.

2. Copy the contents of your _config.yml to JavaScript. Use this online JS-YAML converter.

3. Copy the converted contents into the reptar.config.js file. Prefix the content with module.exports =. This exports the config object and makes it accessible to Reptar.

4. Update your config file's keys to adhere to the new required schema. Largely this means replacing any key that is in snake_case to use camelCase. The updates needed are:

url_key -> urlKey  
date_format -> dateFormat
future_date -> futureDate
page_size -> pageSize
clean_destination -> cleanDestination
new_file_permalink -> newFilePermalink

5. Remove the following keys from your reptar.config.js file:

• path.plugins
• path.themes
• themes
• plugins

6. Move your asset files, js, css, images to the top level of your site.

7. Move your templates folder to the top level of your site. (Optionally) Rename the folder to _templates.

8. (Optionally) Delete the _themes folder as it's no longer used.

9. Add path.templates to your reptar.config.js file pointing to the location of your templates folder.

10. The template variable theme has been removed. You need to update your templates if you make any references to {{theme.<whatever>}} to point to the expected render location of the asset. Doing a global find and replace should be sufficient.
