v1.0.0 Change Log

Goals

This release aims to standardize library’s property creation methodology.

• Standardize on StateType use instead of mixing with explicit property creation parameters
• Allow property class specType to be specialized
• Add Collection support for specType
• Add Collection endpoint support for stubbed data (PojoEndpointProperty)
• Collection todo example
• Remove stateSpec references (rely on type mechanism)
• Remove KeyedProperty, StateTypes, and createXyzPropertyType() functions
• Create IndexedApi class to mirror KeyedApi
• Basic todo example
• Tutorial based on todo example
• Reduce memory footprint of ShadowImpl
• Unit tests: AutoShader, Property, PropertyFactoryShader, Shader, StateType, Store

Documentation

• Overview document
• Tutorial under development

Changes

Libraries

• (uuid)[https://github.com/kelektiv/node-uuid]

ArrayProperty

• createClass(shadowType={}, specCallback, initialState=[]) signature changed

IndexedProperty

• Constructor takes single argument of StateType
• createClass(shadowType={}, specCallback, initialState=[]) signature changed

IndexedShadowImpl

• Fixed remove() bug where state improperly set
• Fix filter() bug where undefined variable v was being used instead of this[i]
• Use ShadowImpl.switchNames() while remapping

MapProperty

• createClass(shadowType={}, specCallback, initialState=[]) signature changed

ObjectProperty

• Constructor takes single argument of StateType
• Use ObjectShadowImpl
• createClass(shadowType={}, specCallback, initialState=[]) signature changed

Property

• Constructor takes single argument of StateType. If one not passed as parameter then default located in the property’s prototype chain.

PropertyFactoryShader

• Constructor signature: constructor(stateType, parent)
• Replaed setElementClass() with setElementType(stateType)
• addStateType() -> addProperty(name, stateType)
• addPropertyClass() removed

Shader

• addStateType() -> addProperty(name, stateType)
• addPropertyClass() removed

StateType

• computeInitialState() now non-static and no arguments
• shadowClassForProperty(defaultClass=Shadow) signature changed and no longer static
• initialStateWithDefaults(state) signature changed and no longer static
• from(prop) static method to walk the prototype hieararchy looking for a StateType instance on the constructor: stateSpec or type properties in that order

ShadowImpl

• switchNames() added to move _nextName to _name to be used during property remapping

createPropertyClass()

• Signature changed: createPropertyClass(shadowType, initialState, specCallback, PropertyClass, BaseShadowClass=Shadow)

Examples

• Todo basic example
• Todo with Collections
• Tutorial step examples
