- Updated dependencies to Meteor 1.8.1.
- Updated dependencies to newer versions.
- Provide internal
_renderComponentTo
method to allow serialization of Blaze's intermediate HTMLJS to a custom output. This allows, for example, serialization of Blaze Components to a plain-text rendering useful for plain-text e-mails.
- Updated code to support the new version of computed field.
- Correctly cache
<head>
tag. Our workaround for the Meteor issue was breaking the cache because it made empty head to be cached even for the client target.
- Reverted searching of mixins of mixins.
getFirstWith
andcallFirstWith
traverse mixins, so this is enough. - But
childComponentsWith
does check for mixin properties now, when properties are being matched. component
now always resolves to the component, even when called from a mixin. Many methods which expect to operate on the component and previously failed when called on a mixin now automatically assure that they are called on the component, if it is available. This allows better code reuse between mixins and components.
getFirstWith
now accepts a predicate as well.- When searching for a property on a component with
getFirstWith
andcallFirstWith
, we now traverse also mixins of mixins recursively.
- Fixed missing animation hooks in more cases.
- Blaze Components can now process
<body>
tags in the server side templates, and ignore<head>
tags (which are already rendered on the server side).
this
inside acomponent.autorun
computation is bound automatically to the component.currentComponent
inside template content wrapped with a block helper component returns the closest block helper component.- Block helpers components are correctly positioned inside the component tree. Fixes #50 and #51.
- Both
data
andcurrentData
can now limit the returned value to a path by passing the path as an argument. Moreover, this limits reactivity only to changes of that value. Fixes #101. - Access to the lexical scope is now possible through
currentData
by passing lexical scope path as an argument. Fixes #76. - Allow binding of event handlers in templates instead of through event maps. Fixes #99.
- Fixed missing animation hooks in some cases.
- Preliminary support for server side rendering. See #110.
- Made sure backported Blaze lookup.js is not applied under Meteor 1.2. It is needed only for older Meteor versions and it interferes with Meteor 1.2. Fixes #100.
- Renamed two methods once more. Fixes #56.
Renamed methods:
childrenComponents
tochildComponents
childrenComponentsWith
tochildComponentsWith
- Now multiple methods (
data
,subscriptionsReady
,$
,find
,findAll
,firstNode
,lastNode
) which access data context and DOM are additionally reactive any you can use them even before the component is rendered or even created and they will trigger invalidation when DOM, for example, becomes ready. Fixes #62. - Constructor is now never in a reactive context. Previously, constructor was sometimes in a reactive context. Same
for
onDestroyed
. - Made parent template/component available in the component constructor.
- Made correct data context available in the component constructor when passing arguments to the component.
- Added
removeComponent
method. Partially fixes #36. - Renamed few methods to more intuitive names and added deprecation warnings if you use a method with an old name.
Methods with old names will be removed in a future version.
Fixes #56.
Renamed methods:
componentChildren
tochildrenComponents
componentChildrenWith
tochildrenComponentsWith
addComponentChild
toaddChildComponent
removeComponentChild
toremoveChildComponent
componentParent
toparentComponent
- Support extending existing Blaze templates. Now preexisting events and life-cycle hooks are available through default implementations of related Blaze Components methods. Preexisting template helpers are searched if a requested component instance method is not found. Fixes #71.
- Made sure that reactive life-cycle variables are set before corresponding callbacks are called.
- Fixed
getComponentForElement
to work correctly on DOM elements from non-template views. - Started
