buuh/docs/migrating-v7-to-v8.md
Bendik Aagaard LynghaugandClaude Fable 5 ce1ec9e4a9 rebrand: buuh — a friendly public fork under the uhhm org
Packages renamed to the @uhhm scope (@uhhm/buuh, @uhhm/buuh-html,
@uhhm/buuh-component, @uhhm/buuh-devtools, @uhhm/buuh-migrate,
@uhhm/bankai). Scoping is load-bearing twice over: npm routes registries
per scope so @uhhm/* resolves against project.uhhm.no while everything
else stays on npmjs, and it means this fork never squats upstream's
names anywhere. The codemod now migrates choo v7 apps to the @uhhm
names. README rewritten with the fork framing and full upstream credit;
the choojs RFC moves to docs/upstream-rfc-draft.md, in the drawer for if
this work ever goes home. API unchanged — choo() is still choo().

Also: Gitea Actions CI + release workflows (npm publish to the uhhm
registry on tag push, CDN bundle uploaded as a generic package),
npm run bundle producing dist-cdn/buuh.js (the whole framework as one
minified ES module for import-map use), docs/publishing.md explaining
what Gitea Packages is (a real npm registry) and is not (a CDN — serve
the bundle from a static host with module-safe MIME instead), and
onload.js constructing window.MutationObserver to match its own guard
(surfaced by smoke-testing the bundle outside a full browser).

# Migrating a choo v7 app to v8
The API you know is intact: `choo()`, `app.use`, `app.route`,
`app.mount`, `app.toString`, `emit`, stores, `state.events`. What changed
is the plumbing: ESM everywhere, new package names, no compile step, and
a platform baseline of Node ≥ 24 + Baseline Widely Available browsers.
## The fast path
```console
$ npx @uhhm/buuh-migrate . # rewrite in place
$ npx @uhhm/buuh-migrate --dry . # or report only
```
The codemod converts simple top-level CJS to ESM, remaps specifiers, and
prints a note for everything it won't guess at. Then:
1. Add `"type": "module"` to package.json.
2. Swap dependencies for `@uhhm/buuh`, `@uhhm/buuh-html`, and friends.
3. Run your app. Read the console: hydration now *tells you* when server
and client markup disagree.
## Specifier map
| v7 | v8 |
|---|---|
| `choo` | `@uhhm/buuh` |
| `choo/html`, `nanohtml` | `@uhhm/buuh-html` |
| `nanohtml/raw` | `@uhhm/buuh-html/raw` |
| `nanomorph` | `@uhhm/buuh-html/morph` |
| `nanocomponent`, `choo/component` | `@uhhm/buuh-component` |
| `choo-devtools` | `@uhhm/buuh-devtools` |
| `choo-lazy-route` | `lazy()` from `@uhhm/buuh` |
| `nanobus`, `nanorouter`, `nanohref`, `nanotiming` | built into `@uhhm/buuh` |
| `nanoquery` | built in (`state.query`); use `URLSearchParams` elsewhere |
| `nanoraf`, `nanoassert`, `nanolru` | retired — platform/built-in |
## Behavior changes to know about
- **URLs decode once, and never crash.** A literal `%` in a path routed
v7 into a `URIError`; v8 keeps the raw segment. Params are no longer
double-decoded (`%2540``%40`, not `@`). Routes and locations are
NFC-normalized, so `café` matches however the é was composed.
`state.href` is decoded for reading.
- **Event handlers never serialize.** v7's server renderer emitted
`onclick=""`; v8 emits nothing — handlers are behavior, not markup.
- **Whitespace is preserved as authored** in browser renders (v7's
browser transform collapsed it). Server and browser output are now
byte-identical, which is what makes hydration adoption work.
- **`mount()` hydrates.** First render adopts server DOM in place and
warns on real mismatches; `<script>` tags and whitespace are ignored.
- **`toString()` got stricter, `toStream()` got capable.** Sync renders
behave exactly as v7. Async content — `state.prefetch` promises, lazy
routes, promise-valued template holes — requires `toStream()`, and
`toString()` says so instead of misrendering.
- **Views can't return arrays** (unchanged from v7) and document-level
roots (`html\`<body>…\``) work in the browser renderer too.
## Things that moved to bankai
sheetify → put a `style.css` next to your entry (client-only by
construction). `split-require` → native `import()` + `lazy()`.
`bankai start/build/serve/inspect` replace the v9 pipeline; HTTP/2 push
never shipped and is dead in browsers — bankai v10 sends 103 Early Hints
instead.
