Change Log¶ ↑

Related Change Logs: - glimmer-dsl-swt/CHANGELOG.md

2.8.0¶ ↑

• Support ability to interpret multiple DSL expression hierarchies, by suspending interpretation of a hierarchy, interpreting another until done, and then resuming interpretation of previous hierarchy until done too. That is done by starting a new expression hierarchy interpretation using Glimmer::DSL::Engine::new_parent_stack in the middle of interpreting another expression hierarchy.

• Refactor/rename Glimmer::DSL::Engine::parent_stacks to Glimmer::DSL::Engine::dsl_parent_stacks and have it include an Array of Arrays of parent stacks per DSL.

2.7.9¶ ↑

• Optimize performance of Glimmer::DataBinding::ObservableModel#add_observer by removing OpenStruct constant check.

2.7.8¶ ↑

• Allow passing BindExpression only 1 argument (e.g. presenter.todos) or 1 argument + 1 hash (e.g. presenter.todos, on_read: -> {})

• ObserveExpression always uses ModelBinding for arguments to leverage its advanced features, like nested/computed/indexed/keyed data-binding

• In Opal, ModelBinding converters/hooks do not require an argument anymore (e.g. can invoke after_write: -> { do_something } without block args)

• Fix issue whereby observing model, :collection was not firing on collection changes, but observing model.collection was firing on collection changes (now both fire on collection changes)

2.7.7¶ ↑

• Relax array_include_methods gem dependency to ‘>= 1.4.0’, ‘< 1.6.0’

2.7.6¶ ↑

• Fix an issue in Opal by updating Glimmer::DataBinding::Observer::Registration to correctly inherit from Struct by assigning a Struct.new and opening a do; end block

2.7.5¶ ↑

• Improve error message when Glimmer#method_missing raises an error, including the problematic keyword to better help with troubleshooting

2.7.4¶ ↑

• Have ObserveExpression support passing an arbitrary number of arguments (not just the object and attribute) to support newer options from the Glimmer DSL like recursive: true

2.7.3¶ ↑

• Support case-insensitive static expressions

2.7.2¶ ↑

• Support capitalized static expressions

2.7.1¶ ↑

• Support upcased static expressions (in addition to default downcased ones)

2.7.0¶ ↑

• Support Hash keyed properties via ModelBinding (e.g. property as some_hash_attribute[:some_key], some_hash_attribute['some_key'], some_hash_attribute["some_key"])

2.6.0¶ ↑

• If a static expression cannot handle keyword, it is tried with available dynamic expressions instead of erroring out.

2.5.5¶ ↑

• Support observing an array object index directly (e.g. ModelBinding.new(array, '[0]') as opposed to ModelBinding.new(self, 'array[0]'))

• Extract Shine data-binding expression from Glimmer DSL for SWT to Glimmer as a reusable class: Glimmer::DSL::ShineDataBindingExpression

• Avoid compacting model with property in ModelBinding yet only compact property/args and keep model as is get a better error message in the case of a nil model

• Document data-binding options like on_read, after_read, etc…

2.5.4¶ ↑

• Glimmer::DataBinding::ObservableModel support for observing model attributes with specified :attribute_writer_type option (default: :attribute=), which can be a single symbol or an array (e.g. attribute_writer_type: [:attribute=, :set_attribute]). Glimmer automatches attribute name and automatically generates observer notification attribute writer methods.

2.5.3¶ ↑

• Provide Observer#observe option to tolerate not being able to extend an object for observation by silently not observing such object

• Use Concurrent::Hash for ObservableModel#property_observer_hash

• Use Concurrent::Hash for ObservableHash#key_observer_hash

2.5.1¶ ↑

• Fix issue with referencing OpenStruct without ‘ostruct’ library being required (it now checks if OpenStruct is loaded first and avoids referencing otherwise).

2.5.0¶ ↑

• Support observing Struct/OpenStruct changes via :[]= method in addition to attribute writers.

• Support read-only direct observation of Hash object without key via ModelBinding (e.g. ModelBinding.new(some_hash))

• Support read-only direct observation of Array object without index via ModelBinding (e.g. ModelBinding.new(some_array))

• Support observing Hash attribute with ModelBinding (all keys or a single key)

• Disable #ensure_hash_object_observer in ObservableModel/ObservableHash/ObservableArray since it has performance implications and is not necessary

• Fix issue with #ensure_array_object_observer not receiving recursive: true option when updating value of an attribute in ObservableArray, ObservableModel, and ObservableHash

2.4.1¶ ↑

• Support recursive: [integer] option for ObservableArray#add_observer for finite recursion

2.4.0¶ ↑

• Support passing arbitrary options to Observer #observe (#register) method (not just properties, like recursive: true for example)

• Make observing nested arrays within an array optional with recursive: true option

• Make Observer dependents collection rely on Concurrent::Hash when available

• Fix Observer cleanup of registrations and dependents on #deregister (was not cleaning up everything because observables were changing #hash value on content change and slipping through the cracks as a result)

2.3.0¶ ↑

• Have observing ObservableArray automatically notice if any values are nested arrays and observe them for micro-changes (recursively all the way down)

2.2.2¶ ↑

• Support auto-notifying on ObservableArray#replace observed changes

• Support auto-notifying on ObservableArray#filter! observed changes explicitly (even if filter! aliases select!)

• Support auto-notifying on ObservableHash#filter! observed changes explicitly (even if filter! aliases select!)

2.2.1¶ ↑

• Fix issue with Glimmer::DataBinding::Observer.proc {|new_value| ...}.observe(array) resulting in new_value coming across as ‘nil when the array is updated

2.2.0¶ ↑

• New Glimmer::DataBinding::ObservableHash support for observing hash[key]=value mutations

• Ensure observed ObservableHash values are enhanced with ObservableHash if they were of type Hash

• Ensure observed ObservableModel values are enhanced with ObservableHash if they were of type Hash

2.1.5¶ ↑

1.3.0¶ ↑

• Support the Expression#around hook, which executes code around both interpret and add_content
