This release includes a major rewrite of the tags API that eliminates the need to cast the target
value of event handlers and improves typesafety by more closely matching the official React API. As a result of these changes, event handlers defined in separate methods or code abstracting over tags may not initially compile with this new version.
Event handlers in previous versions of Slinky were functions from a DOM event type to Unit
. In React, events are normalized into SyntheticEvent
s that provide a common subset of the events generated in different browsers. In this version of Slinky, event handlers have been changed to all be functions from a synthetic event type (one of SyntheticEvent[TargetDOMType, UnderlyingDOMEventType]
, SyntheticMouseEvent[TargetDOMType]
, SyntheticTouchEvent[TargetDOMType]
, etc based on the event being listened to) to Unit
.
This means that explicit references to the DOM event type will no longer compile and will need to be replaced by an appropriate synthetic event type with a TargetDOMType
that matches the DOM type of the tag the listener is being placed on. This change ensures that the properties available on event objects at compile time match those generated by React.
In previous versions of Slinky, passing in attributes required the first attribute to be passed separately from the varargs parameter containing the rest of the attributes. In this version, the API for constructing tags has changed from apply
taking either (firstTag: AttrPair[...], otherTags: AttrPair[...]*)
or ReactElement*
to just a single method taking (mods: TagMod[...]*)
with conversions from AttrPair
and ReactElement
to this type.
So code that passed in generated attributes like:
div(firstAttr, restAttrs: _*)
will now need to be replaced by
div(allAttrs: _*)
Similarly, in components that previously took in AttrPair
and ReactElement
separately, this can now be simplified to just take TagMod
s.

- Slinky's implementation of mapping Scala types to JS types is now available as a separate module
slinky-readwrite
(PR #54) - Improve type safety of ExternalComponentWithAttributes by restricting the type parameter to tag types (PR #55)
One of Slinky's main goals is to have React components written in Scala look very similar to ES6. In version 0.1.x, Slinky required
extra boilerplate for defining an object that contained apply
methods and then creating a Def
inner class that contained the actual component logic.
This version includes the @react
macro annotation, which makes it possible to directly write the class containing component logic and have Slinky generate
the companion object for constructing component instances. The macro annotation also now generates special apply
methods when your Props is a case class
so that constructing Scala components looks more similar to JSX, with the Props values directly taken as parameters of the apply
.
Note that the macro annotation is experimental and not required. To use the original component style simply replace the extends Component
with extends ComponentWrapper
and your
components should continue to function as they did before.
As an example of migrating an existing component to the new macro annotation style, take a simple component that displays a header:
import me.shadaj.slinky.core.WrapperComponent
import me.shadaj.slinky.web.html._
object HelloMessage extends WrapperComponent {
case class Props(name: String)
type State = Unit
@ScalaJSDefined
class Def(jsProps: js.Object) extends Definition(jsProps) {
def render() = {
div(s"Hello ${props.name}")
}
}
}
to use the new macro annotation style, we essentially extract out the definition class, move the Props
and State
types into the class, and extend Component
instead of Definition
:
import me.shadaj.core.{Component, react}
import me.shadaj.slinky.web.html._
@react class HelloMessage extends Component {
case class Props(name: String)
type State = Unit
def render() = {
div(s"Hello ${props.name}")
}
}
If we want to use this component, we now have a new option for constructing it directly passing in the Props values
HelloMessage(HelloMessage.Props("Shadaj")) // old style
HelloMessage("Shadaj") // now possible!
HelloMessage(name = "Shadaj") // now possible, closest to JSX
The @react
annotation is also available for external components. For external components, the annotation generates the new apply
method style in the same style as Scala components.
import me.shadaj.slinky.core.annotations.react
import me.shadaj.slinky.core.ExternalComponent
@react object React3 extends ExternalComponent {
case class Props(mainCamera: String, width: Int, height: Int,
onAnimate: Option[() => Unit] = None, alpha: Boolean = false)
override val component: js.Object = js.Dynamic.global.React3.asInstanceOf[js.Object]
}
this makes it possible to construct the external component as
React3(mainCamera = "camera", width = 800, height = 800)
- Have ExternalComponentsWithTagMods take the tag type as a type parameter instead of an abstract type (PR #19)
- Added support for reading and writing values of type
js.UndefOr[T]
(PR #18) - Components and external components with a
Props
type ofUnit
can now be constructed without any parameters, instead of having to pass in()
as props (PR #12) - Boolean attributes, such as
disabled
, can now be used without specifying a value to closer match JSX. For example, a disabled input can now be constructed asinput(disabled)
without providing the:= true
(PR #14)
