Dars Framework v1.8.5

Release Notes v1.8.5

Outlet improvements + SSR lazy-load placeholders + SPA router hardening

Installation

pip install --upgrade dars-framework

What's New

Multiple Outlets via outlet_id

Nested routing now supports targeting a specific outlet in a parent layout:

• Outlet(outlet_id="main" | "sidebar" | ...)
• app.add_page(..., outlet_id="...")
• The SPA config includes outletId per route so the client router can mount the child route into the correct outlet.

Optional Outlet(placeholder=...)

Outlet can render an optional placeholder while the child route region is empty (e.g. SSR lazy-load or SPA navigation).
If placeholder is not provided, the outlet remains empty.

SSR lazy-load loading/error placeholders (SPA navigation)

New API:

• app.set_loading_state(loadingComp, onErrorComp)

Exporters and the SSR backend render these as static HTML placeholders and expose them to the SPA router.
This keeps state/events safe and avoids breaking hydration.

Trailing slash normalization

The SPA router now treats paths with trailing slashes as equivalent:

• /dashboard and /dashboard/ match the same route

This prevents incorrect 404 redirects when a user navigates to a valid route with a trailing slash.
