Packages Changelog

frontity@1.5.1

Minor Changes

  • 495771f8 #302 Thanks @michalczaplinski! - Add a new decode function to ‘frontity’, which unescapes the HTML.

    This replaces the decode function previously in html2react.

    This is necessary because some of the content fro WP API can come as escaped HTML entities and we want to render it straight into react components.

  • 80c1aa3a #288 Thanks @michalczaplinski! - Add a new option --theme which allows specifying the starter theme on the command line. If the theme is not specified, the user can pick a theme from an interactive prompt.

Patch Changes

  • 74eb448e #323 Thanks @luisherranz! - Fix missing typescript dependency in the frontity package. This package is the one responsible to inject typescript in a Frontity Project and the Frontity CLI.

  • 417f2b0f #305 Thanks @michalczaplinski! - Improve the performance of the decode function. Now it works like this:

    • It does a regexp to check if there are HTML entities.
    • It does a partial replacement of common entities using the simple-entity-decode package.
    • It does a new regexp check to see if there is any entity left.
    • Finally, it does a full replacement of all entities using:
      • he in the server, which works great but it is a big library and therefore we don’t want to include it in the client.
      • DomParser in the client, which is safe to use.
