Repository navigation
v0.23.0
The Components panel now shows what a component keeps to itself: its
#private fields, readable and editable under the dev server, and the custom
states, form value and validity of a form-associated element. The tree no
longer has a Live switch; it stays live, holds still under the pointer and
paces itself on busy pages. The panel's rows, colours and fields got easier
to read and hit, and the docs run the examples live beside the panel. Nothing
needs action to upgrade.
Added
- The Components panel shows and edits a component's
#privatefields.
Under the dev server, a Private section after State lists each native
#privatefield as#namewith its live value. A string, number or
boolean has the same edit button as a property, kept as an override you can
switch off, pin across reloads or remove, and the component re-renders with
it. Agents read them throughlit_component-detailsand set them through
lit_set-prop. They come from thehmr.privateFieldsrewrite, so turning
that off hides them. - The Components details show custom states and form values. An element
that callsattachInternals()gets an Internals section with the states
:state()matches, the value it last passed tosetFormValue(), and its
validity and validation message, kept live as they change. Agents read the
same throughlit_component-details. - Try the examples live in the docs. The Demos page opens flame, Web
Awesome, Fernhouse, CSS, Tailwind, Forms and the tutorial's app running in
your browser with the DevTools panel under them, with nothing to boot and a
zoom control; StackBlitz is one switch away for editing their files.
Changed
- The live component tree keeps up with busy pages without slowing them.
A page that changes constantly still gets a fresh tree every so often,
rebuilds space themselves out by how long the last one took, and none run
while the Timeline is recording. - The Components toolbar sets Pick apart from the switches. Pick is a
crosshair beside the tag filter, and Flash and Anatomy, which stay on until
you turn them off, sit together as one group at the right. - Tree and list rows are easier to hit. Rows in the component tree and
the timeline list are 24px tall, the minimum target size WCAG asks for. - Element references and functions no longer share a colour. Tags and
element refs are teal, functions stay blue, in both colour schemes.
Fixed
- A link to a component opens its details even before the page is ready.
Opening the panel on#tab=components&component=Nbefore the page
connected, or before its components defined, no longer shows "This element
is no longer in the page" for an element that is there. - Settings' About shows the page's Lit even when opened first. A panel
opened on the Settings tab before the page connected said "lit: not
detected" until the tab was reopened; it now lists the page's Lit packages
as soon as the page connects. - Disabled fields no longer pass for empty ones. A disabled select or
input is dimmed, filled and dash-outlined with a not-allowed cursor, and the
tags of a multi-select read as live rather than greyed out. - The Lit tab's footer buttons work in a narrow panel. A long notice no
longer covers its own "Don't show again" or "Not now": the text is cut
short instead, and shows whole when you hover it.
Removed
- The Components tab's Live toggle is gone; the tree is always live. It
stays still while the pointer is over it, so the row under the pointer does
not move, and catches up when the pointer leaves. A tree paused in an
earlier version comes back live.
