Configure project to use ES6 modules to enable top-level await
capabilities. This change helps project to align well with modern JS
standards.
- Set `type` to `module` in `package.json`.
- Use import/export syntax in Cypress configuration files.
- Rename configurations files that do not support modules to use
the `.cjs` extension:
- `vue.config.js` to `vue.config.cjs` (vuejs/vue-cli#4477).
- `babel.config.js` to `babel.config.cjs (babel/babel-loader#894)
- `.eslintrc.js` to `.eslintrc.cjs` (eslint/eslint#13440,
eslint/eslint#14137)
- `postcss.config.js` to `postcss.config.cjs` (postcss/postcss#1771)
- Provide a workaround for Vue CLI & Mocha ES6 modules conflict in
Vue configuration file (vuejs/vue-cli#7417).
- Introduce `fresh-npm-install.sh` to automate clean npm environment
setup.
- Revert workaround 924b326244, resolved
by updating Font Awesome.
- Remove `vue-template-compiler` and `@vue/test-utils` from
dependencies, they're obsolete in 2.7.
- Update anchor references to start with lower case in line with
MD051/link-fragments, introduced by updated `markdownlint`.
- Upgrade cypress to > 10, which includes:
- Change spec extensions from `*.spec.js` to `*.cy.js`.
- Change configuration file from `cypress.json` to
`cypress.config.ts`.
- Remove most configurations from `cypress/plugins/index.js`. These
configurations were initially generated by Vue CLI but obsoleted in
newer cypress versions.
- Lock Typescript version to 4.6.x due to lack of support in
unmaintained Vue CLI TypeScript plugin (see vuejs/vue-cli#7401).
- Use `setWindowOpenHandler` on Electron, replacing deprecated
`new-event` event.
- Document inability to upgrade `typescript-eslint` dependencies because
`@vue/eslint-config-typescript` does not support them. See
vuejs/eslint-config-typescript#60, vuejs/eslint-config-typescript#59,
vuejs/eslint-config-typescript#57.
- Fix `typescript` version to 4.6.X and `tslib` version to 2.4.x,
unit tests exit with a maximum call stack size exceeded error:
```

Issue has been reported but not fixed, suggested solutions did not
work, see evanw/node-source-map-support#252.
- Update `vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder` to latest alpha version. This
allows upgrading `ts-loader` to latest and using latest
`electron-builder`. Change `main` property value in `package.json` to
`index.js` for successful electron builds (see
nklayman/vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder#188).
Major refactoring using ESLint with rules from AirBnb and Vue.
Enable most of the ESLint rules and do necessary linting in the code.
Also add more information for rules that are disabled to describe what
they are and why they are disabled.
Allow logging (`console.log`) in test files, and in development mode
(e.g. when working with `npm run serve`), but disable it when
environment is production (as pre-configured by Vue). Also add flag
(`--mode production`) in `lint:eslint` command so production linting is
executed earlier in lifecycle.
Disable rules that requires a separate work. Such as ESLint rules that
are broken in TypeScript: no-useless-constructor (eslint/eslint#14118)
and no-shadow (eslint/eslint#13014).
