Abell v1.0.0 First Prototype

You can try out the following changes on abell@next

Working Prototype

Vite-based SSG

Abell's rendering logic is now a Vite Plugin. You can use it as-

// vite.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import { vitePluginAbell } from 'abell';

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [vitePluginAbell()]
})

The dev-server, and bundling will now be handled by vite
Having Vite enables you to now use import syntax inside Abell blocks

{{
  import rawText from './something.txt?raw'; // One of the vite features to load raw data from files
  import navbar from './navbar.abell'; // This works because of abell's vite plugin
}}
<html>
<body>
  {{ navbar }}

  hello {{ rawText }}
</body>
</html>

You can use any vite plugins and loaders with abell now. This will mean plugins like vite-plugin-markdown can be used now instead of having any abell-specific solutions.
Since most of the dev-server and bundling part is now handled by vite, a lot of code from abell is removed. I have moved code from abell-renderer to abell and abell-renderer will be deprecated with the v1.
The assignments, reassignments, and imports will have to happen in the first block now.

Changes in CLI

abell build is now abell generate (abell build will continue to work as an alias but generate will be documented)
abell serve is now abell dev (In a lot of projects, serve is used for script that serves the build. dev is used in dev-servers so made sense to move to abell dev. abell serve will continue to work as alias but won't be documented)

Note: inside this repository, the changes are on branch one
