webtools (development version)
- Improvements
dev_html() gains an exclude argument that prevents
them from being skipped in case they are dynamically generated.- Bugfixes
- Async functions weren't really async (sigh), so now I am confident they are.
webtools 0.9.0
- Features
- Completely rework the plugin system and discourage inheritance of the
App
object to extend functionality.
Plugins are R6 classes that have a specific interface. They can be
attached and detached from apps at initialization and runtime. - We can reference the app from inside plugin methods using
self$app
- The plugin name is bound to the app namespace (e.g. attaching a
Plugin
with name test will cause it to be accessible via app$test). We
also filter out irrelevant methods by default.
- Improvements
html_template() gains a deps function to attach additional HTML
dependencies. html_mustache() uses [whisker::whisker.render] to render the elements,
which has better support for iterating and conforms to the {{mustache}}
standard.- Changes
Application is removed as it was a hacky implementation and wasn't
very easy to grok. It is replaced by far more flexible plugin interface.
webtools 0.8.0
- Features
Fire and App gain a $clear_data() method to clear all data.html_template() allows rendering an HTML template.- Changes
- Rename
html_render_document() to html_render()
- Removed
html_render_fragment() and instead installed fragment
arguments to html_render()
- Rename
html_build() to html_tags()
- Rename
html_render_script() to html_script()
- Bugfixes
- Don't force 200 response in the catchall logic, as that precludes us
from returning any other response code.
webtools 0.7.1
- Bugfixes
- Allow
Application to chain more than 2 App instances.
webtools 0.7.0
- Features
- Added S3 style plugin interface that works interchangeably with the R6
interface to make creating plugins easier.
- Split up the
App object into HTMLApp, TestApp, PerfApp, AsyncApp,
so that we need to import what we need.
Application() allows one to combine different app instances functionality.
This allows us some flexibility of composition despite being constrained
to {R6}'s inheritance model.- Improvements
- Dramatically simplify router/handle/static metadata handling, you now just
pass filter expressions and use
discard = TRUE to flip the selection.
- Attaching a plugin with
$plugin_attach(bind = TRUE) makes it available in
the root app namespace.
App class is unlocked.- Changes
- Removed the
app autocomplete helper.
- Bugfixes
- Fixed the
response autocomplete helper.
webtools 0.6.0
- New Features
html_build() allows for easy building of packagesFire and App gain a $data field for conveniently accessing data.- Improvements
- routers will have a fallback in case they don't return a flag
- Bugfixes
- Use options for storing the metadata instead of a map for
dev_html() and
dev_app(), to ensure that it always picks up the right environment.
- Fix bug where websocket would not connect because of a fragment in the URL.
- Package
- Moved
html_render() to a different src directory
- Remove dependency on
{future} and {fastmap}.
webtools 0.5.0 - Hotwire Development
- New Features
html_render_script() has new arguments that allow it to render singleton
scripts or those located in the <head> tag.- When establishing a websocket connection with a
ws query parameter, the
client ID is appended with +<type> so that we can distinguish different
kinds of websocket connections from the same client.
- You can now access the websocket objects directly using the
$sockets
method.
assert_route_handler() checks if handlers are valid functions.assert_tags() ensures that these are tags from {htmltools}.- Improvements
- Allow single list for
html_copy_dependency().
- Changes
- Autoreload scripts are now rendered once in the
<head> tag.
- Move autoreload script to its own js file instead of being inline.
dev_app() no longer browses by default even if interactive.- Bugfixes
- Export
dev_app() companion functions.
- Allow usage of files instead of directories in
App$static()
html_render_script() now escapes its contents- Package
- Maintain 100% test coverage
webtools 0.4.4
- Bugfix: html_copy_dependency handles directories
webtools 0.4.3
- Fix even more missing imports from
{checkmate}.
webtools 0.4.2
- Missing import
webtools 0.4.1
pkgdown documentation index is cleaned up.- File reorganization
- NAMESPACE reorganization
webtools 0.4.0
- development utilities for auto reloading of applications (
dev_app()) or
static pages (dev_html()).
webtools 0.3.0
- Add badges to README for version, license.
- Flesh out README.Rmd
- Add hex sticker.
- Expand the
$events method with help for handler functions for routes.
webtools 0.2.0
HTMLApp() - an App that can serve HTML via router_html()- utilities for autoreload of the HTML app when it is restarted
- utilities for rendering HTML to character strings from
{htmltools}
webtools 0.1.0
- Initial release with appropriate testing
Fire object which is an adapted version of [fiery::Fire] that allows
detaching plugins, used {httpuv}'s staticPaths, and more. App object from which all variations will inherit. Has a prefixed API
and some helpers to conveniently add routes.- 100% test coverage, linting compliance, and addressing R CMD Check.
webtools 0.0.0.9000
- Added a
NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
