v0.3.7

🎯 Major Features

Universe Service Refactor

Complete architectural overhaul of the Universe service with separation of concerns into specialized sub-services:

• ExtensionManager: Manages extension loading, engine instances, and lifecycle hooks
• RegistryService: Fully dynamic, Map-based registry system for cross-engine resource sharing
• MenuService: Dedicated menu item and panel management with event support
• WidgetService: Dashboard widget registration and retrieval system
• HookService: Application lifecycle hooks and custom event hooks

Key Benefits:

• Improved performance with lazy loading and proper engine lifecycle management
• Better separation of concerns and maintainability
• Enhanced cross-engine resource sharing via Ember's application container
• Backward compatibility maintained through facade pattern

Enhanced Extension System

New Extension Patterns:

• extension.js hook patterns with setupExtension() and onEngineLoaded() support
• whenEngineLoaded() utility method that handles both loaded and not-yet-loaded engines
• Comprehensive extension checking methods: isInstalled(), isEngineLoaded(), isEngineLoading()
• Automatic hook execution for router-loaded engines

Engine Loading Improvements:

• Fixed race conditions between engine loading and hook registration
• Proper tracking of router-loaded engines in loadedEngines Map
• Patched buildChildEngineInstance to run hooks for router-loaded engines
• Two-phase extension setup: registration first, then hook execution

Performance Optimizations:

• extensions.json loading with localStorage caching
• Reduced console noise by removing excessive debug logs
• Performance monitoring for extension load times

Helper Registration System

• Cross-engine helper sharing via application container
• registerHelper() method for template helpers
• Support for both class-based and function-based helpers
• Automatic registration to application container for global access

Component Registration Enhancements

• registerRenderableComponent() for cross-engine component sharing
• Support for component classes via ExtensionComponent
• Automatic component registration to engine containers
• getRenderableComponents() for retrieving registered components

🔧 API Improvements

UniverseService

• getService() method with flexible naming pattern resolution:
  • Short names: "menu" → universe/menu-service
  • Plural variations: "hooks" or "hook" → universe/hook-service
  • CamelCase: "menuService" → universe/menu-service
  • Full names: "menu-service" → universe/menu-service
  • With namespace: "universe/menu-service" → universe/menu-service
• whenEngineLoaded() for simplified engine-dependent setup
• getServiceFromEngine() for accessing engine-specific services
• getApplicationInstance() with fallback to window.Fleetbase

MenuService

• Computed getters for template access: headerMenuItems, adminMenuItems, adminMenuPanels
• Event triggers for backward compatibility
• Proper finalView normalization for all menu items
• onClick handlers wrapped with menuItem and universe parameters
• Fixed panel item slug/view structure to match original behavior

WidgetService

• Per-dashboard widget registration
• registerWidgets() for making widgets available on dashboards
• registerDefaultWidgets() for auto-loading specific widgets
• Proper widget filtering by dashboard ID

🐛 Bug Fixes

Extension Loading

• Fixed owner undefined errors during engine initialization
• Resolved timeout errors during engine boot
• Fixed duplicate dashboard ID errors
• Corrected engine instance tracking and retrieval
• Fixed race conditions in extension setup

Menu System

• Fixed registry name mismatch for header menu items
• Added missing properties to MenuItem (section, view, slug, etc.)
• Corrected panel item structure for proper routing
• Added null checks before dasherize calls
• Fixed onClick handler parameter passing

Registry System

• Fixed widget registry lookup to work with array storage
• Proper filtering by registration key
• Shared registries Map across all engines via container
• Triggered reactivity when creating new registries

Service Resolution

• Fixed service injection on engine boot
• Corrected service map injection
• Fixed virtualRouteRedirect and getViewFromTransition methods

📦 Exports & Structure

• Named exports on "exports" namespace
• Separated default and named exports in app/exports re-exports

🔄 ResourceActionService

• Allow properties to be set from initialization options
• Improved flexibility for service configuration
