2.69.0

  • Add missing require to fix pvc build.

    Joel Hawksley

  • Add config.view_component.use_consistent_rendering_lifecycle to ensure side-effects in content are consistently evaluated before components are rendered. This change effectively means that content is evaluated for every component render where render? returns true. As a result, code that’s passed to a component via a block/content will now always be evaluated, before #call, which can reveal bugs in existing components.

    Simon Fish

2.65.0

  • Raise ArgumentError when conflicting Slots are defined.

    Before this change it was possible to define Slots with conflicting names, for example:

      class MyComponent < ViewComponent::Base
        renders_one :item
        renders_many :items
      end
    

    Joel Hawksley

2.64.0

  • Add warn_on_deprecated_slot_setter flag to opt-in to deprecation warning.

    In v2.54.0, the Slots API was updated to require the with_* prefix for setting Slots. The non-with_* setters will be deprecated in a coming version and removed in v3.0.

    To enable the coming deprecation warning, add warn_on_deprecated_slot_setter:

      class DeprecatedSlotsSetterComponent < ViewComponent::Base
        warn_on_deprecated_slot_setter
      end

    Josh Clayton

  • Add predicate method support to polymorphic slots.

    Graham Rogers

2.61.1

  • Revert Expose Capybara DSL methods directly inside tests. This change unintentionally broke other Capybara methods and thus introduced a regression. We aren’t confident that we can fail forward so we have decided to revert this change.

    Joel Hawksley, Blake Williams

  • Revert change making content evaluation consistent.

    Blake Williams

  • Pin rails main dependency due to incompatibility with Global Output Buffer.

    Joel Hawksley

2.61.0

  • Ensure side-effects in content are consistently evaluated before components are rendered. This change effectively means that content is evaluated for every component render where render? returns true. As a result, code that is passed to a component via a block/content will now always be evaluated, before #call, which can reveal bugs in existing components.

    Blake Williams
