  • Chg: Renamed EfanMetaData --> EfanTemplateMeta. (Breaking change.)

v1.3.8

  • Chg: Updated licence to The MIT Licence.

v1.3.6

  • New: using statements can be added with <%? using ... %> notation
  • New: efan tags can be escaped with <%% ... %%> notation.
  • Bug: Rendering null values with debug logging turned on could cause NPEs.

v1.3.4

  • Bug: Non ASCII templates could not be compiled.

v1.3.0

  • Chg: Rejigged the public efan API.
  • Chg: Removed EfanRenderer.renderEfan(...). All template rendering is done via EfanRenderer.render(...).
  • Chg: Nested efan templates and body functions now return a Str, so you MUST use eval tags; <%= renderBody() %>
  • Chg: Massivly simplified nested component rendering by introducing a threaded EfanCtxStack.
  • Chg: Added EfanRenderer.id to make debugging efanXtra a bit more humane!

v1.2.0

  • New: Runtime Errs thrown while rendering report efan template code snippets and line numbers.
  • New: EfanRenderer now has an efanMetaData field with more contextual information.
  • New: The class name of efan renderer instances is now configurable.
  • Chg: Rejigged the efan parser.
  • Chg: Efan template line numbers no longer take up a whole line of code.

  • Chg: Added optional makeFunc to EfanCompiler.compileWithModel().

v1.1.0

  • New: Added EfanRenderCtx to ease efan extensions.
  • Chg: Updated to use Plastic.
  • Chg: EfanCompiler now returns the rendering type, not an EfanRenderer instance.

v1.0.0

  • New: Efan templates may now be nested and can optionally render their body!
  • Chg: EfanCompiler wraps the generated renderer in a sane const EfanRenderer wrapper.
  • Chg: Removed dependency on BedSheet - see afBedSheetEfan for BedSheet integration.
