Hey, I see a new update dropped today. Is there a place to read the full update notes?

Im aware of [WeWeb Changelog](https://www.weweb.io/changelog) but it looks like it doesnt have recent changes.

Hi @AJAW 👋

There are none 🙂

We currently update the changelog page and public roadmap a couple of times a month but are looking into ways we can post release notes on the same day as the release.

In the meantime, here’s what’s new:

- [EDITOR] Logs
- [EDITOR & DASHBOARD] Versioning / Backup
- [EDITOR] Code editor revamp
- [PAGES] Improve Dynamic Metadata (in closed beta)
- [PLUGIN] Google Tag Manager plugin
- [PLUGIN] NPM
- [DASHBOARD] Display projects by the last one opened
- [ELEMENT] [RICH TEXT] Add component actions
- [WORKFLOW] Save test parameters in localstorage
- [WORKFLOW] Remove test parameter panel and migrate them below each parameters like for the formula

Fixed:

- [ELEMENT] [RANGE] If min value negative, tooltip not aligned
- [DASHBOARD] Duplicate project and design system with classes, typo was undefined
- [DASHBOARD] Creating duplicate for backup not working for big project

Would love your feedback on this: would you be happy having just that info on the changelog page or do you think it’s important we continue to publish articles with links to the user documentation?

The example image in the explanation of the npm plugin is not appearing, you can post one or 2 examples just to understand how to use it as it is not in the documentation yet

From what I tested, there are libraries that work with NPM and others that don’t. What is the criteria?

I went to test the lib below but it didn’t work.

> **[randomstring](https://www.npmjs.com/package/randomstring)**
>
> A module for generating random strings. Latest version: 1.3.0, last published: 4 months ago. Start using randomstring in your project by running \`npm i randomstring\`. There are 1558 other projects in the npm registry using randomstring.

From a quick read of the github repo and some post from the team I would say that it works for libraries packed as umd that add an instance to the window and correctly instruct unpkg about what file to serve.  
Many libraries will work and also many other will not because a lot of them don’t pack the final version in the required format or don’t declare the files correctly in the package.json.  
For example randomstring does not pack the library in the required format, ot assumes that you process the soirce file with a bundler. You can easily check that [https://unpkg.com/randomstring](https://unpkg.com/randomstring) resolves to `module.exports = require("./lib/randomstring");` which is not going to work as is.  
Of course this particular library is meant to be used on nodejs, not on the browser, as it’s clearly stated in its description:

> A node.js module for generating random strings

It require a specific workspace plan to access this feature. We also released today a first version of our npm package but it only allow to import package available on [unpkg.com](http://unpkg.com)

Hi Joyce, yes, the documentation would be very helpful. I arrived at this post from searching the forums to try to find more documentation about the Google Tag Manager plugin. Still not sure where I can learn more about it. In general, it would be super helpful to have more documentation on things; in the past I’ve had to reach out to support to clarify things that I feel like a paragraph or two on the particular feature could have probably answered, and I feel bad about asking (and always search the community first to check). Thanks! 🙂

Never feel bad about asking! 😉 We’re here to help.

We’re trying to improve our processes so new features (including beta features) are documented as soon as the release is out.

We usually manage to put something out (docs or videos or both) between 1-2 weeks after the release but we’re working hard to shorten that delay. In any case, keep your questions coming!

# NPM DOCUMENTATION UPDATE

Alright, here’s a [video with a couple of examples](https://youtu.be/cS_jLxfHzXs?si=6SJjdbPz2cC-X6sx) using **lodash and papaparse**.

As this is a beta plugin, we expect you’ll encounter issues we didn’t anticipate. Please do NOT hesitate to share them all with us.

## Improvement suggestion?

If it’s **an improvement suggestion** , adding it [in this thread](https://community.weweb.io/t/using-the-npm-plugin/4752) would be perfect. I’ll make sure to put together a recap for the product team 🙂

## Question or difficulty using the plugin?

If it’s **an issue using a specific package or a question about how to do something** , I’d recommend creating a new topic with [NPM] at the beginning of the title to help us identify it quickly and look into it. For example, “[NPM] Trying but failing to use xxx package”

As always, we want to make this the best plugin possible and will take your feedback on board so don’t hesitate to ask questions and make improvement suggestions! 🙂
