Release v0.3.0 · mavoweb/mavo

We have some very exciting plans for Mavo going forwards, but the first step was to make a new, long overdue, release.

Breaking changes

A new way to define collections (mv-list/mv-list-item). You can use both to define a collection or mv-item-list or mv-list on their own, and the other one will be auto-added for you. mv-multiple is now deprecated but still works fine and just gets rewritten to mv-list/mv-list-item markup, so this is only a breaking change because you may have CSS that depends on the previous markup structure (e.g. child selectors).
The previously deprecated mv-like attribute has now been removed.
Property queries in get() (i.e. get(object, "key=value")) are not supported anymore. Use where or filter() for this.
The Dropbox backend is moved to a separate plugin to make Mavo lighter. Use mv-plugins="dropbox" anywhere to re-add support.
The CTRL/CMD + Backspace shortcut to delete a list entry is not supported anymore.
url() now does case insensitive matching by default—you can opt in to case sensitive matching via case_sensitive: true.

🆕 mv-options attribute: limit properties to predefined options without having to create a <select>
🆕 mv-item-bar attribute to customize list item controls (remove controls, add custom ones).
🆕 mv-edit-as attribute: Teach Mavo how to edit new elements, e.g. web components.
🆕 mv-attr-* family of attributes—a way for attributes to contain expressions without triggering browser errors or false loading.
You can now specify a plugin version in mv-plugins.
GitHub backend improvements:
- When performing raw API calls, there is now a way to fetch more than one page, by adding a max_pages parameter.
- When saving to a repo that doesn't yet exist, it is now possible to create a private repo (via the private storage attribute).
Local storage backend: 🆕 mv-storage-key attribute to override the localStorage key used.
You can now use mv-mode="edit" on mv-value elements to make dynamic collections editable.

intersection()—to get a list of items that two lists have in common.
readable_datetime()—to get a date or date/time value as human-readable text (e.g., 13 Jun 1986 16:45).
pluralize()—to get the correct plural form of a word corresponding to the given number.
sort()—for locale-aware sorting of lists.
datetime()—Combine a date and (optionally) a time into a single date/time value in ISO format (e.g., 1986-06-13T16:45) that can be used as input for other date/time functions.
map()—Get properties from list items.

get() can accept multiple keys, e.g., get(group("foo": group("bar": "baz")), "foo", "bar") will return baz.
duration() now allows units to be specified explicitly, e.g., duration(ms, "days"). Negative inputs to duration() now produce negative time outputs.
url() now supports options to control case sensitivity, what is matched, what URL is used, and whether multiple results are returned.
Functions with 2-word names—groupby(), fromlast(), and tofirst()—renamed to group_by(), from_last(), and to_first() respectively to be consistent with other functions and better readability. Old functions still work but are deprecated and will be removed in the next release.

$all.$previous/$all.$next to get all collection items before/after the current one.

Order of relative button ids in the mv-bar attribute is now preserved.
When changing the storage location of a Mavo app via the URL (e.g. via a ?myapp-storage=... URL), app id is now case insensitive.
Expressions now work properly with on* attributes.
The boolean disabled attribute works correctly with expressions on all supported elements, including <optgroup>, <option>, and <fieldset>.
And 130 more bugfixes and smaller improvements!

🆕 List Separator plugin—Store and read lists of simple properties as a single text value. Useful in conjunction with the Google Sheets plugin to store multiple values in a single cell.
🆕 Share plugin—Share data via system clipboard, email, contacts or messaging applications, and Bluetooth or Wi-Fi channels.
🆕 Google Calendar Backend plugin—Integrate Google calendars into your Mavo apps.
🆕 Autoload plugin—Let Mavo load all the needed plugins for you automatically.
🆕 Spanish Locale plugin—Translates all Mavo UI to Spanish.

Mavo#load() now accepts a data parameter for overriding the data loaded.
New Mavo#push() for backend pushes.
New mv-remotedatachange event on Mavo.Backend to signify that data changed remotely.
