ripple v0.5.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2014-06-14 // almost 10 years ago
    • ✂ removed the scope option. This cleaned up a lot of code, but it means the each plugin won't work in it's current state. Instead, we'll prefer to pass in views instead of just building sub-views from templates. It makes the library smaller and the code more maintainable.
    • ✂ Removed the need to use .parse.
    • Views now have the signature new View(attrs, options) instead of using the data property.
    • 🆕 New View.attr method for defining attributes. This lets us create getters/setters and means plugins can do cool things with the attributes (like making them required, setting defaults or enforcing a type).
    • Once attributes are defined using attr you can access them like view.name = 'foo' instead of doing view.set('name', 'foo'). Although the get and set methods still exist.
    • ✂ Removed a bunch of the files and make it simpler. Specifically removed the model.
    • Views now have a unique ID
    • Consistent code formatting
    • Owner can only be set once and can't be changed. If this restriction doesn't work in practice we can revisit.
    • Text bindings will render objects that have a .el property. This means you can set other views as attributes on a view and it will render it.
    • ✂ Removed create and the ability to create child views. This was only used for the each plugin. Instead, create views and add their plugins manually. Less magic.
    • Interpolator can't be accessed now, meaning you can't change delimiters. This is an edge case and probably doesn't need to be used, it now means we don't need a different interpolator for every view created.
    • ⬆️ Bumped component to v1.
    • 🚚 Directives now remove the attributes from the template before rendering
