Chocolate Factory version history
v1.9.2
- Detect children inside arrays (out of context, that sounds nice and weird)
v1.9.1
- Oopsie, miscalculated the children…
v1.9.0
- In Lindt mode, appending new children to a DOM element will not cause existing
elements to be removed and reinserted unnecessarily.
v1.8.3
- Importer bugfix:
//extcall now works on arrow functions (JS only)
v1.8.2
- Bugfix use of DOM elements inside replace_content (can happen when mixing lindt
and choc). Previously it was possible for some such usage to result in elements
not being replaced when they should be.
v1.8.1
- Bugfix importers not recognizing “import * as name from …” syntax
v1.8.0
- fix_dialogs has been renamed to apply_fixes, with the old name retained for
compatibility.
- New fix available: apply_fixes({methods: 1}) will add additional methods to
all DOM elements. Currently this provides one method, closest_data().
v1.7.4
- Bug fix: Calling replace_content with a non-matching selector will correctly
throw an error.
- Importer feature: Class definitions and their methods are correctly parsed, and
will behave like other functions (including extcall).
v1.7.3
- Importer feature (JS only): Explicit calls to choc.X() or lindt.X() will mark
their arguments as Choc Factory context.
- Importer feature: A function definition can be marked with
//extcall. This has
the same effect as giving its name in an --extcall parameter, but works for
functions that are defined somewhere other than global scope.
- There is now also a transformation tool available at convert.html
to aid in turning HTML into dynamically-generated DOM elements.
v1.7.2
- No changes to the Chocolate Factory itself, only the importers
- Bugfix: DOM addition methods (appendChild, etc) had been broken by the importer
changes related to SVG handling (keyword args for state). Now unbroken.
- Bugfix: element.prepend() was omitted from the DOM addition method list.
v1.7.1
- No changes to the Chocolate Factory itself, only the importers
- chocimport now recognizes XML namespaces correctly and will retain them
- An SVG() constructor will, by default, use the “svg:svg” namespace.
- Lexically-nested calls will replicate the namespace used.
v1.7.0
- Implement rudimentary support for XML namespaces such as inline SVG elements.
They are created with
choc("some_namespace:tag") (or lindt) and may either
have the complete namespace included directly, or use an alias via xmlns_xlat
for convenience. See the API documentation and SVG usage for
further information.
- Bugfix: Correct autoimport recognition of renaming imports such as
const {FOO:BAR} = choc; //autoimport - they will now correctly use BAR.
v1.6.1, v1.6.2, v1.6.3, v1.6.4
- Bugfix the flicker reduction - catch some instances where it was overeager
in this optimization, resulting in incorrect display.
v1.6.0
- Reduce flicker and improve performance in replace_content(). Should™ be
entirely backward compatible. Lindt mode will now make better use of existing
DOM elements, and will avoid rebuilding contents where possible.
v1.5.0
- Attempting to insert a non-Node object into something (with set_content, the
choc constructor, or any other form) will now raise an error. This is usually
indicative of a bug anyway, and would most likely have caused a more obscure
failure.
v1.4.0
replace_content(null, lindt.P()) is now broadly equivalent to choc.P(),
allowing a lindt-based script to turn a template into concrete DOM objects
for when it won’t be replaced into something else. This has no benefit over
using choc directly.
v1.3.0
- Calling
e.stopPropagation() during an on() handler will now correctly
end the bubbling of the event. While arguably a bugfix, this is potentially
a feature of a sort, I guess?
v1.2.0
- Attributes can be specified as
{"@attr": "val"} or {".attr": "val"} to
force them to use setAttribute or subscript assignment respectively. The
default behaviour will continue to autodetect.
v1.1.4
- Support
choc.TAG(42) as equivalent to choc.TAG("42") - it was already
supported if attributes were given.
v1.1.3
- Give the same warning on set_content() that choc() and lindt() do when extra
args are provided.
v1.1.2
- Handle disabled and checked status through assignment. These could probably
be done better with proper boolean handling, but they might still need to be
special cases anyway.
v1.1.1
- replace_content now accepts a single element rather than requiring an array.
v1.1.0
- Master chocolatiers are now available to help design your factory! See
Lindt mode for details.
- To strengthen the similarities between choc mode and lindt mode, it’s now
possible to import choc by name as well as by default. This allows a more
consistent import command, instead of having choc special-cased. It will
continue to (also) be the default for the foreseeable future.
- chocimport.py recognizes both lindt and choc as valid imports. It’s up to
you to make sure you use one or the other, or mix them compatibly.
- Constructing a SELECT element with a value should now work - it will fill
the element with its contents before applying the value.
- As a side effect of some other changes, it’s possible to construct a
TEXTAREA with both child text and a value attribute. For compatibility
with lindt mode, this is considered a feature, and the value attr wins.
v1.0.3
- Special case a few more things. I clearly don’t know what I’m doing here.
v1.0.2
- Another patch to fix unintended backward compatibility breakage: names
beginning with “on” will now create event handlers. This is not recommended
and it is better to create handlers using on(), but this does work and will
be maintained.
v1.0.1
- 1.0 did introduce an unintended backward compatibility break: names like
className used to work, but now class is needed. Reinstating compat
by making classname an alias for class, and htmlfor an alias for
for. Others will be added if they get noticed. Sorry about that!
v1.0.0
- Very few functional changes, just some cleanups to error handling. This is
deemed 1.0 as a recognition of the library’s stability.
- Removed deprecated chocify() function
- Disconnected from the shed copy, which will remain for a while as an older
copy of this file
- NOTE: Versions will, moving forward, be tagged in git, and thus accessible
by URLs such as https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Rosuav/choc/v0.6.1/factory.js
- Removed documentation from core code file into an external Markdown file
- Added an explicit error when attempting to set_content a missing element
(replacing the obscure “cannot read lastChild of undefined” error)
- Element attributes are now case insensitive. You no longer have to write
TD({colSpan: 2}), it’s now fine to write TD({colspan: 2}).
- Data attributes that include hyphens are now handled according to the HTML
spec, instead of causing an error.
- Added a warning if extra args are passed eg
DIV({id}, SPAN(), SPAN())
choc.__version__ will now always contain three parts, maj.min.rev.
v0.6.1
- Last version available at https://rosuav.github.io/shed/chocfactory.js
- set_content now accepts arrays of arrays of elements, nested arbitrarily.
v0.6
- Added options parameter to event hooks:
on("click", ".spam", e => ..., opt)
This allows additional options such as using the capturing phase.
v0.5
- Added formless mode to fix_dialogs click_outside
v0.4.x
- [0.4.4] Hack the setting of an input’s form attribute so it works
- [0.4.3] Fix handling of click_outside with select elements
- [0.4.2] Improve handling of <form method=dialog>
- [0.4.1] Hack in some <form method=dialog> button handling
- [0.4] Hack in basic handling of <form method=dialog> on Firefox
v0.3
- Implement a dialog fixer to add basic support for all browsers,
even those that don’t natively handle dialogs properly
v0.2
- Added the DOM() function to grab a single DOM element by selector
- Tightened up error handling
v0.1
- Initial release, in several stages all with the same version number.
