rules_js 2.0

Aspect has announced the release of version 2.0 of its JavaScript ruleset for Bazel, known as rules_js, which offers various improvements and new features. The update includes support for pnpm version 9 and the onlyBuiltDependencies option for enhanced security, allowing direct linking of js_library targets to consuming packages, improving speed and compatibility. The release also introduces rules_lint, which facilitates the integration of ESLint, and optimizes Docker image layers for efficiency. Performance enhancements in the update include faster Bazel analysis phases and more efficient npm_translate_lock operations. Aspect encourages users to upgrade by providing a comprehensive migration guide and offers a free trial of its Aspect Workflows platform to compare with existing setups. Feedback is welcomed to further refine the migration process, and users are invited to support the project through sponsorship or testimonials.
