What’s New in v3?

We’ve added lots of new features to PWA Kit v3, including:

• 🔨 Template extensibility: Greatly reduce your project's code footprint and reduce development toil, cost of ownership, and future upgrade headaches. For more details, see the Template Extensibility guide!
• 🪝 @salesforce/commerce-sdk-react "hooks" integration: Decouples API calls from a project's implementation, allows API calls to be upgraded as an npm library dependency, and brings along many of the great features (including state management, and others) via TanStack Query. See the the Commerce SDK React docs to get started!
• ⚛️ Major vendor library updates, including support for React 18, Node 16 / 18, Chakra 2, and more.
