The Lenis library is updated to improve smooth scrolling. The lenis.js script is replaced by lenisSmoothScroll.js and certain lenis related CSS rules are removed. Also, it encompasses changes in the way some plugins are imported in different components, moving from inline script import to modular imports. Additionally, the customCss file location is updated in the astro.config.mjs file. New dependencies are added to the package and package-lock json.
A new utility function `generateToc` has been created in `src/utils/generateToc.ts` for generation of table of contents. The utility includes child component extraction and error handling for orphan headings. Additionally, GSAP's ScrollTrigger library has been included under `public/scripts/vendor/gsap/` to manage scroll-triggered animations.
This update vastly improves the website's support for multiple languages by adding French translations to several new pages, including 404, contact, products index, home, and services pages. This update also introduces a new ContactSection_fr.astro component for a French version of the Contact Us section. Site configuration has been modified to appropriately handle these new additions.
Created the 'PostFeedback.astro' and 'SocialShare.astro' component files to enrich the UI interface. The PostFeedback component renders a user feedback section with a title and two responsive buttons. Whereas, the SocialShare component provides users with hyperlinks to popular social media platforms - it also enables copy-pasting of current page links using the ClipboardJS utility function and dropdown functionality from the Preline plugin.
The changes made include code refactoring and reformatting in several files for better readability, and to adhere to best practices. Detailed and intuitive comments were added to the code, improving clarity and understanding of the codebase. There were also some class adjustments and minor changes in several files ranging from reordering class listings to updating element selections. Import statements were also modified for clarity. Accordion functionality was removed, potentially indicating a pending replacement or enhancement.
A minified version of the GSAP (GreenSock Animation Platform) library has been added to the scripts/vendor directory. This library will be used to provide rich, high-performance animations for various components within the project.
