- Lot of people couldn't migrate to v1 and plan to reevaluate when v2 is
released.
- It's "npm" not "NPM". It doesn't stand for anything, and it never
has - it was initially chosen simply because it was easy to type.
It has a lot of unofficial backronyms with "Node Package Manager"
being one of the most common ones, but it's never officially stood
for anything as an acronym *or* initialism.
- Fixed a few errors in the change log, like non-breaking changes being
included in the "Breaking Changes" section and an inaccuracy in the
summary of a particular change.
- Fixed RawGit URLs to point to GitHack, which is a lighter proxy that
offloads caching to Cloudflare instead of also implementing it itself.
(It also just uses nginx for all the important server logic, so it
scales better.)
- Add a few more v0.2 references as appropriate
* Recast the router API to be a lot more intuitive.
Fixes#2387Fixes#2072
Fixes quite a few issues reported on Gitter.
For `m.route.Link`:
- More intuitive
- More accessible
- More ergonomic
- It can be disabled
- It can be cancelled
- It can be changed
- Oh, and you can use it isomorphically.
For `m.route.prefix`
- You can *read* it.
- You can write to it, of course.
- It's literally just setting a property.
For the router itself (and the rest of Mithril):
- You can now `require("mithril")` and all its submodules without a DOM
at all. There is a catch: you can't instantiate any routes, you can't
mount anything, and you can't invoke `m.render` in any capacity. You
can only use `m.route.Link`, `m.route.prefix`, hyperscript stuff, and
`mithril/stream`, and you can use `m.request` with `background: true`
if you use a global XHR polyfill. (You can't use `m.request` without
`background: true` except with a DOM to redraw with.) The goal here is
to try to get out of the way for simple testing and to defer the
inevitable `TypeError`s for the relevant DOM methods to runtime.
The factory requires no arguments, and in terms of globals, you can
just figure out based on what errors are thrown what globals to
define. Their values don't matter - they just need to be set to
*something*, even if it's just `null` or `undefined`, before Mithril
executes.
Had to make quite a few other changes throughout the docs and tests to
update them accordingly. Oh, and that massive router overhaul enabled me
to do all this.
Also, slip in a few drive-by fixes to the mocks so they're a little
easier to work with and can accept more URLs. This was required for a
few of the tests.
* Update changelog + numbers, add forgotten bundle option
* Add PR numbers to changelog [skip ci]
* Allow continuing to the next match by returning `false`.
* Update numbers again
This should help point users to the correct version if they plan to
install the release candidate, and it should help users find the
existing docs for v1.
- I also fixed a bunch of related comments
- I had to polyfill `requestAnimationFrame` for Node
- Drive-by: run `eslint . --fix`
- Drive-by: update transpiling info in CONTRIBUTING.md
- Drive-by: we aren't the only ones going semicolon-free
