Upgrade Guide

Upgrading to v4.0​

ES Modules

  • probe.gl is used to test transition to ES Modules for all the vis.gl frameworks including deck.gl.
  • You are welcome report any issues in the probe.gl repo.

@probe.gl/bench

  • Bench.add() / Bench.addAsync() - The number of overloads has been reduced so some existing benchmark suites may need to be updated. When specifying priority and options, simply supply a property object instead of position arguments.
  • Custom logging
    • the type of each LogEntry is now controlled by the type field instead of the entry field.
    • For LogEntry.type, the LOG_ENTRY export is removed in favor of simple string constants.

probe.gl

  • The probe.gl "umbrella" module is no longer available as of 4.0. Simply replace probe.gl with the scoped @probe.gl/... modules you are actually using.

Upgrading to v3.5​

  • From v3.5, the probe.gl module is being deprecated in favor of importing sub modules @probe.gl/....
  • The probe.gl module may be removed in probe.gl v4.0, but for backwards compatibility, this module will still be present in v3.x.
  • probe.gl no longer contains any code, it just re-exports from @probe.gl/env, @probe.gl/log, @probe.gl/stats.

To upgrade:

  • import 'probe.gl should be replaced with import '@probe.gl/env', import '@probe.gl/log' and/or import '@probe.gl/stats' (depending on which imports you are using.).
  • Update your package.json file(s) to install the submodules instead of the main module.
  • The import 'probe.gl/env subdirectory import should be replaced with import '@probe.gl/env' (note the leading @ sign). The subdirectory import is occasionally causing problems with bundlers and the submodule import should be more robust.
