Improvements

Removed deprecations.

Improvements

AjaxView extends AppView

This way the AjaxView automatically shares the AppView helpers loaded.
With CakePHP 3 now shifting helper loading from controller to view level this is a required chance at this point to have the AJAX templates being able to use the same helpers as the normal ones do.

Caution
All CakePHP 3 apps by now should have an AppView class present.
If you don't yet, please do that now before pulling this minor release.

Bugfixes

Any non-null values for error/success can now be used, so boolean true/false would now work.

Also allow "success" key to skip rendering, similar to "error". Sometimes a bool is not enough and you need to transport a more meaningful message here.

This can be used for edit-in-place AJAX or alike.

Improvements

Enable AJAX delete

For usability reasons you might want to delete a row in a paginated table, without the need to refresh the whole page.
All you need to do here is

• Add a specific class to the "post link"
• Add some custom JS to catch the "post link JS"
• Make sure the AjaxComponent is loaded for this action

The default bake action usually already works perfectly:

public function delete($id = null) {
    $this->request->allowMethod(['post', 'delete']);
    $group = $this->Groups->get($id);

    $this->Groups->delete($group);
    $this->Flash->success(__('The group has been deleted.'));

    return $this->redirect(['action' => 'index']);
}

The JSON response even contains the flash message and redirect URL in case you want to use that in your JS response handling.

A live example can be found in the Sandbox.

Bugfixes

Adjusted JSON response to not contain invalid UTF8 part.

Improvements

Added AjaxMiddleware for newer CakePHP setups.
Big thanks to @Zuluru for enabling this.

Adjustments

CakePHP 3.5+ from here on due to PHP 7.2 compatibility.

Bugfixes

• Re-organized and arranged the render and _serialize methods in order to fix a bug that occured when _serialize is set to true (thanks to @joshrhykerd).

This release is for CakePHP 3.4+.

The responses in tests return a slightly different result, so they needed to be adjusted.

With serialize true all vars are always serialized by default.
A change from 3.1. Now this is supported, as well.

The messages were only passed in JSON response for redirects, should also happen for non redirect responses, though.

This aims to be the first release, targeting CakePHP 3.1+
Use a previous commit for 3.0 (note that there there was no viewBuilder() yet).

It works for 3.1.1+ again to be exact as there were minor regressions in the way custom View classes were included in 3.1.0.
