Binding.scala

• Support @fxml
• Optimize performance on Scala.js

Support empty attributes in XHTML literal.

Improve the performance when initialize a big Vars

Changes from Binding.scala 8.0.x/9.0.x:

New Features

• Added route library.
  See this example for its usage.

• Supported referencing HTML DOM elements by id attributes.

  @dom showInput(v: Vars[String]) = <div>
    <!-- any Scala code inside the div element is able to access `myInput` -->
    <input id="myInput" onclick={_: Event => v := myInput.value />
  </div>
  

Performance improvements

• Avoided re-rendering in some complicated cases.
• Reduced about 30% generated JavaScript code size for @dom methods.
• Resolved some other minor performance issues.

Backward incompatible changes and deprecated functions

• oldSeq/oldValue in MultiMountPoint/SingleMountPoint has been removed.
• SingleMountPoint is deprecated, in favor of simply Binding[Unit] block. See this example for usage.
• dom.currentTarget is deprecated, in favor of id attribute.

Requirements

• Scala versions:
  • 2.10.x
  • 2.11.x
  • 2.12.x
• Scala.js version
  • 0.6.13

Future plan

In the next major version (Binding 11.0), we will support JavaFX and FXML. Afterwards, we will also launch the development of Android support. Binding.scala will become an universal solution for GUI on all platforms in 2017.

Don't generate data-binding code for constant XHTML attributes

• Reset state on Route.watchHash

• Build with Scala 2.12.0
• Redesign the Route API

Build with Scala 2.12.0

Allow changing state managed by Route.hash

Suppress warnings like org.scalajs.dom.raw.CSSStyleDeclaration and String are unrelated: they will most likely always compare unequal

• Use Queue as internal data-structure in macros
• Add scala-xml as a dependency of dom library. Users of dom library will not need to add the dependency manually any more.
• Reduce the usage of view

Add a route library for Scala.js

• Add a separate internal library XmlExtractor
• Optimize monadic map method
• Optimize XHTML literals that have exactly one child

Unlike older versions, Binding.scala 10.0.0-M2 does not include scala.xml package.
If you use Binding.scala dom library, make sure scala-xml is in your classpath:

// Add the following settings in your Scala.js projects's build.sbt
libraryDependencies ++= {
  CrossVersion.partialVersion(scalaVersion.value) match {
    case Some((2, scalaMajor)) if scalaMajor >= 11 =>
      Seq("org.scala-lang.modules" %% "scala-xml" % "1.0.6" % Provided)
    case _ =>
      Nil
  }
}

Automatically define vals for elements with an explicit id attribute

• Remove oldSeq parameter in MultiMountPoint.splice method.
• Minimize triggered events when a Var changed.
