Roact Changelog

Unreleased Changes

  • Fixed forwardRef description (#312).

1.4.0 (November 19th, 2020)

  • Introduce forwardRef (#307).
  • Fixed a bug where the Roact tree could get into a broken state when processing changes to child instances outside the standard lifecycle.
    • This change is behind the config value tempFixUpdateChildrenReEntrancy (#301)
  • Added color schemes for documentation based on user preference (#290).
  • Fixed stack trace level when throwing an error in createReconciler (#297).
  • Optimized the memory usage of 'createSignal' implementation. (#304)

1.3.1 (November 19th, 2020)

  • Added component name to property validation error message (#275)

1.3.0 (May 5th, 2020)

  • Added Contexts, which enables easy handling of items that are provided and consumed throughout the tree.

1.2.0 (September 6th, 2019)

  • Fixed a bug where derived state was lost when assigning directly to state in init (#232)
  • Improved the error message when an invalid changed hook name is used. (#216)
  • Fixed a bug where fragments could not be used as children of an element or another fragment. (#214)

1.1.0 (June 3rd, 2019)

  • Fixed an issue where updating a host element with children to an element with nil children caused the old children to not be unmounted. (#210)
  • Added Roact.joinBindings, which allows combining multiple bindings into a single binding that can be mapped. (#208)

1.0.0

This release significantly reworks Roact internals to enable new features and optimizations.

  • Added Fragments, which reduces the need for many container instances. (#172)
  • Added Bindings, which enables easy surgical updates to instances without using refs. (#159)
  • Added opt-in runtime type checking across the entire Roact API. (#188)
  • Added support for prop validation akin to React's propTypes.
  • Changed Component:setState to be deferred if it's called while Roact is updating a component. (#183)
  • Changed events connected via Roact.Event and Roact.Change triggered by a Roact update to be deferred until Roact is done updating the instance.
  • Improved and consolidated terminology across the board.
  • Improved errors to be much more informative and clear.

0.2.0

  • Deprecated Roact.reconcile in favor of Roact.update (#194)
  • Removed some undocumented APIs:
    • Roact.getGlobalConfigValue, which let users read the current internal configuration.
    • Roact.Element, which let users figure out whether something is a Roact element. We'll introduce a proper type-checking API at a later date.

April 15th, 2019 Prerelease

  • Renamed Roact.reify to Roact.mount and Roact.teardown to Roact.unmount (#82)
    • The old methods are still present as aliases, but will output a warning when used.
  • Added Roact.Change for subscribing to GetPropertyChangedSignal (#51)
  • Added the static lifecycle method getDerivedStateFromProps (#57)
  • Allow canceling render by returning nil from setState callback (#64)
  • Added defaultProps value on stateful components to define values for props that aren't specified (#79)
  • Added getElementTraceback (#81, #93)
  • Added createRef (#70, #92)
  • Added a warning when an element changes type during reconciliation (#88, #137)
  • Ref switching now occurs in one pass, which should fix edge cases where the result of a ref is nil, especially in property changed events (#98)
  • setState can now be called inside init and willUpdate. Instead of triggering a new render, it will affect the currently scheduled one. (#139)
  • Roll back changes that allowed setState to be called inside willUpdate, which created state update scenarios with difficult-to-determine behavior. (#157)
  • By default, disable the warning for an element changing types during reconciliation (#168)

March 22, 2018 Prerelease

  • Removed is*Element methods, this is unlikely to affect anyone (#50)
  • Added new global configuration API for debug settings (#46)
  • Added Roact.reconcile, which will be in the guide soon. It's useful for embedding Roact into existing projects! (#44)
  • Added function variant of setState in preparation for async rendering (#39)
  • Added Roact.None to allow removing values from state using setState (#38)
  • setState will now throw errors if called at the wrong time (#23)
  • Throw a nicer error when failing to set primitive properties (#21)
  • If a bool is detected as a child of a component, it will be ignored, allowing for a shorter conditional rendering syntax! (#15)
  • Error messages should make more sense in general
  • Got rid of installer scripts in favor of regular model files

December 1, 2017 Prerelease

  • Initial pre-release build
