Change Log#

Note: Tetra is still early in its development, and we can make no promises about API stability at this stage.

The intention is to stabilise the API prior to a V1 release this summer, as well as implementing some additional functionality. After V1 we will move to using Semantic Versioning.

[0.0.3] - 2022-5-29#

Added#

• _parent client attribute added, this can be used to access the parent component mounted in the client.

• _redirect client method added, this can be used to redirect to another url from the public server methods. self.client._redirect("/test") would redirect to the /test url.

• _dispatch client method added, this is a wrapper around the Alpine.js dispatch magic allowing you to dispatch events from public server methods. These bubble up the DOM and be captured by listeners on (grand)parent components. Example: self.client._dispatch("MyEvent", {'some_data': 123}).

• _refresh public method added, this simply renders the component on the server updating the dom in the browser. This can be used in combination with _parent to instruct a parent component to re-render from a child components public method such as: self.client._parent._refresh()

Changed#

• Built in Tetra client methods renamed to be prefixed with an underscore so that they are separated from user implemented methods:
  • updateHtml is now _updateHtml
  • updateData is now _updateData
  • removeComponent is now _removeComponent
  • replaceComponentAndState is now _replaceComponent
