0.2.0

I am pleased to present a second release of this library!
We are moving slowly, but every step is quite important. It proves this "concept" is no longer just a concept. Let's take a closer look at the changes this release brings!

Features

• Multi-stage UI update on action (related issue #62). Awesome feature, proposed by @bketelsen that allows to push multiple UI updates during single action call. Useful thing to show current status/step of a long-running action. Documentation.
• ssa:oncall.display control attribute (related issue #56). Changes display parameter during action call, at the end of an action the layout will be restored. Documentation
• ssa:onload trigger attribute (related issue #63). Provides a way to trigger an action on page load. This may be useful for components' lazy loading. Documentation
• ssa:poll + ssa:poll.interval trigger attributes (related issue #18). Provides a way to trigger an action periodically. Useful for components that have to be updated over time (f.e. charts, stats, etc.). Documentation
• ssa:onintersect trigger attribute (related issue #36). Provides a way to trigger an action on element intersection. Documentation
• ssa:render.mode control attribute (related issue #70). Determines which mode to use for dynamic DOM updating. Currently, 2 modes are supported: "morphdom" and "replace". Documentation
• ssa.morph.ignore and ssa.morph.ignore.this control attributes (related issue ##43). Ignore elements morphing (with or without children). Documentation is not ready yet
• The possibility of using custom render method (related issue #42). It's an important step to eliminate obligatory using of html/template and give more control to developers. Documentation
• Support ndjson (newline delimited json) output format for Insights feature (related issue #49). Documentation is not ready yet.
• Option for changing SSA endpoint (related issue #84). Documentation is not ready yet.
• Option for changing async error behavior (related issue #77). Documentation is not ready yet

Deprecated

Nothing in this release :)
But old deprecated functions from 0.1 are cleaned up.

Future plans

• Video tutorials and articles. It's not enough to have a documentation as far as it's not providing step-by-step usage guide, also some people better understand information with audio/video content.
• More attention to minor things, like UI Kit and starter project.
• Refactor rendering lifecycle architecture (related issue #93). Lifecycle is pretty similar to pipeline, so job execution system (https://github.com/kyoto-framework/scheduler) perfectly fits for this purpose.
• Functional way to define pages and components (related issue #94).
• Server side state (related issue #28).
• Support tinygo compiler (related issue #80). An important step on the road to Edge Workers.
• Cover project with tests (related issue #53).

Final words

• @RowdyHcs for active participation in project development
• @bketelsen for providing ssa:poll pull request, minor improvements and idea of multi-stage UI update
• @OpenSauce for detailed documentation review for grammar mistakes
