transition from v2 to v3

:::warning The "Node" moduleResolution is the only one that has been tested to work with sern. :::

• Sern.makeDependencies -> makeDependencies
  • it is asynchronous and top level function now. Make sure to await it before initing for proper synchronization.

- Sern.makeDependencies({ build: () => {} })
+ await makeDependencies({ build: () => {} })

Also, v3 comes with the new Service api. To make sure to enable intellisense include a dependencies.d.ts file into compilation. Click here for all new features

/**
 * This file serves as intellisense for sern projects.
 * Types are declared here for dependencies to function properly
 * Service(s) api rely on this file to provide a better developer experience.
