Why Elentra JS 2.0?

Elentra JS 2.0 has been redesigned from the ground up and incorporates significant improvements and changes that will make development faster, more consistent, and more predictable.

Elentra JS provides developers with a unified suite of front-end development tools and resources, including Vue.js, a standard Design System, and a robust Component Library. Throughout the EJS 2.0 development process, we have also addressed common concerns and requested features brought up by Elentra Consortium developers.
In each subsection of this page, a rationale for why the given change was made is provided, as well as insight into how we believe the change will positively impact the Elentra Consortium and its community of users, admins, designers, and developers.
