Breaking changes

• #1028 Simplified and unified class names in WebSharper.JavaScript.Dom, stripping DOM prefix where there was one.

Features

• #999: Added Content.Cors, a helper for checking for Cross-Origin Resource Sharing headers.
• #1025 Added Router.FetchWithand Router.AjaxWith that are taking a RequestOptions to customize the request sent to an automatically routed WebSharper endpoint.

Fixes

• #1021 Fixed parsing FormData when using Router.Infer.
• #1027 Added classList on Dom.Element.
• #1030 Use invariant number format for floats in routing. Fixes failing to parse decimal point character in URLs created on the client when the server system settings use another character instead of point.
• #1031 Handle NoWarn+TreatWarningsAsErrors well for F# compilation.
• #1032 Fix skipping pre-translating some server-side quoted event handlers. In particular, this caused issues in server-side WebSharper.UI templates where one could not use both ws-onxxx and .OnYyy() with the same template.
• #1033 Fix inconsistent behavior of HtmlTextWriter between netfx and netstandard. Attributes written using HtmlTextWriter.WriteAttribute, which includes WebSharper.UI attributes, are now always automatically escaped.

WebSharper 4.5.3

This is a bugfix release for WebSharper 4.5. See the associated WebSharper.UI release

Templates for .NET Core SDK: dotnet new -i WebSharper.Templates::4.5.2.275

Templates for Visual Studio 2017: http://websharper.com/installers/WebSharper.4.5.2.275.vsix

Fixes

• #1019 Show a compile-time warning when an Inline or Direct contains a $variable that doesn't correspond to an argument. Additionally, add a property UseDollarVariables : string on both InlineAttribute and DirectAttribute to indicate that a given $variable is not an argument typo and should not cause a warning.

  For example, the following warns that $unexpected doesn't correspond to an argument, but doesn't warn about $expected1 and $expected2:

  [<Inline("$this.myMethod($theArg, $unexpected, $expected1, $expected2)",
           UseDollarVariables = "$expected1, $expected2")>]
  member this.MyMethod(theArg: int) = X<unit>

Templates for Visual Studio 2017: http://websharper.com/installers/WebSharper.4.5.2.275.vsix

Features

• #1020: Sitelets.HttpModule now throws an error if no Sitelet definition is found.
• #1022: Update to FSharp.Compiler.Service 25.0.1

Fixes

• #1023: Fix HTML escaping in HtmlTextWriter. This affects functions such as text and attr.* in WebSharper.UI.

WebSharper 4.5.1

This is a minor release for WebSharper 4.5. See the associated WebSharper.UI release

Templates for .NET Core SDK: dotnet new -i WebSharper.Templates::4.5.1.266

Templates for Visual Studio 2017: http://websharper.com/installers/WebSharper.4.5.1.266.vsix

Features

• #1005: Add MouseEvent.Buttons property.
• #1006: WIG: Add the capability to declare abstract classes and abstract and virtual methods.
• #1016: Macros: Add NeedsTranslatedArguments property defaulting to false. If overridden to true, the arguments to the macro are translated before being passed to the macro.
• As a result of #1016: the New macro now compiles to a plain JS object in more cases. In particular, it recognizes a list of members declared using a function call that inlines into a literal (string, obj) pair.
• #1018: Add support for argument-less Nullable.GetValueOrDefault().

Bugfixes

• #1010: Add empty WIG classes to the metadata, fixing VerifyRPC error.
• #1015: Fix translation of let values in Stub modules.
• #1017: Fix compilation of the C# ?? null-coalescing operator.

WebSharper 4.5

This is a major release for WebSharper 4. See the associated WebSharper UI release.

Templates for Visual Studio 2017: http://websharper.com/installers/WebSharper.4.5.0.265.vsix

Features

• #1001: Strongly-name the .NET Standard core libraries.
• #1002: Added --jsoutput and --minjsoutput command line options, as well as WebSharperJsOutput and WebSharperMinJsOutput project properties, as equivalents to jsOutput and minJsOutput wsconfig.json options.

Fixes

WebSharper 4.4.1

This is a bugfix release for WebSharper 4.4. See the associated WebSharper.UI release

Templates for .NET Core SDK: dotnet new -i WebSharper.Templates::4.4.1.261

Templates for Visual Studio 2017: http://websharper.com/installers/WebSharper.4.4.1.261.vsix

Features

• #988 Add proxy for the JavaScript fetch API.
• #988 Add Router.Fetch as a fetch-based equivalent to Router.Ajax.

Fixes

• #985 Fix reading C# tuple type signatures, this also fixes remoting with tuples in C#.
• #989 RPC signature verification works as intended: compiler attempts to create JSON de/serializers, if there is any unsupported types found, a compile-time error is given.
• #990 The runngen.ps1 scripts in the tools folder in both WebSharper.FSharp and WebSharper.CSharp packages now correctly installs the compiler tools in the net461 folder. Run this script in administrator mode to speed up WebSharper compilation.
• #991 Fix regression in overriding implementation methods, there is no more incorrect Instance member name conflict errors.
• #993 Fix scoping of "this" in function conversions. This notably fixes C# event handlers in WebSharper.UI.
• #994 Fix control flow for C# try/catch in asynchronous methods.
• #996 Don't use jQuery.on('ready', ...) for the web control activator. This removes the dependency on jQuery for many sitelets.
• #997 Add proxy for Printf.kprintf
• #998 Don't serialize System.UI.Web.Control's private fields. Since the Serializable attribute requirement was dropped in 4.4.0, web controls would output a number of null fields in the <meta> tag; this is now fixed.

WebSharper 4.4

This is a major release for WebSharper 4.

Templates for .NET Core SDK: dotnet new -i WebSharper.Templates::4.4.0.255

Templates for Visual Studio 2017: http://websharper.com/installers/WebSharper.4.4.0.255.vsix

Features

• #641, #970: Add support for Web Workers.
  • Add the Worker API to WebSharper.JavaScript.
  • Add a set of special constructors for Worker which takes a function as argument. The compiler automatically compiles this function into a minimal bundle script and compiles the constructor call to reference this script by URL. See the documentation for more details.
  • Add a new compiler setting scriptBaseUrl which determines the base URL under which the worker scripts are located. The full URL is <scriptBaseUrl>/<assemblyname>/<assemblyname>.<scriptname>.js, where <scriptname> is worker unless specified in the constructor call.
• #807: Merge the class WebSharper.JavaScript.JS from the assembly WebSharper.JavaScript with the module of the same name from the assembly WebSharper.Main. This mean that all uses of JSModule in C# must be replaced with JS.
• #939: Add JavaScript Promises support. This includes:
  • Add a proxy for the Promise<'T> class.
  • Add a Promise module with functions AsAysnc, OfAsync, AsTask and OfTask.
    The As* functions handle rejected promises as follows: if the rejection value is an Error, then it is used directly as the exception raised from the Async / Task. Otherwise, it is wrapped as the Reason property of a NonStandardPromiseRejectionException.
  • Add the above functions as extension methods to their respective relevant classes.
  • Add a promise computation expression.
• #975: Drop the [Serializable] requirement for classes used in JSON serialization (RPC, Sitelets, WebSharper.Json).
• #976: Allow Bundle projects to reference other Bundle projects that have an EntryPoint.
• #979: Change signature of Router.Create to parse to option.
• #980: Sitelets: add Content.FromContent(Content<obj>) to convert an F# content into a C# content.
• #981: Add Sitelet.MapContent.
  • For F#: module function Sitelet.MapContent : (Async<Content<'T>> -> Async<Content<'T>>) -> Sitelet<'T> -> Sitelet<'T>
  • For C#: extension method Sitelet<obj> Sitelet<obj>.MapContent(Func<Task<Content>, Task<Content>>)
• #982: Make all exceptions inherit from the JavaScript Error type. This affects exceptions declared with the F# keyword exception as well as classes inheriting from System.Exception. This makes it possible to perform runtime type tests (F# :?, C# is) against System.Exception.

Fixes

• #971: WIG: properly fail when trying to declare that a class implements a class, rather than inherits from it.
• #977: Give a better error if there is a conflict where two projects include a server-side compiled quotation from the exact same file and position.
• #978: Give a better error if a Bundle is missing a project reference.
• #983: Fix dotnet build on a C# project failing to find FSharp.Core.
• WebSharper.Testing: reference QUnit via https.
• #987: Change the assemblies WebSharper.Compiler, WebSharper.Compiler.CSharp and WebSharper.Compiler.FSharp to reference FSharp.Core 4.4.1.0 rather than 4.5.0.0. This fixes assembly loading issues in the Roslyn analyzer.
  As a consequence, we reduced the minimum dependency of the WebSharper.Compiler packages on FSharp.Core from >= 4.5.0 to >= 4.1.0.
