Show and Tell
#1

We’ve just released Anvil Extras v1.9.0 with:

New Features

  • Select All functionality added to MultiSelect component
  • Dynamic serialisation of data tables rows
  • utils.correct_canvas_resolution() - canvas elements can look blurry on retina displays
    This function sharpens the resolution of a canvas element when called in the reset event
  • augment.remove_event_handler() added to the augment module
  • Slider - visual properties - handle_size, bar_height, and role added

Updates

  • storage supports datetime and date objects
  • on_form_load() can be used in a routing.main_router Form
    This method will be fired with the current url_hash and the form that was added to the content_panel.
  • animate duration argument is no longer keyword only i.e. animate(self, fade_in, 300) is valid

Bug fixes

  • MultiSelect component works correctly in a popover
  • popover is_visible bug when using pop("toggle")
  • Using routing load_from_cache=False to reload the current form works correctly
  • PageBreak retains its thickness in print mode

You should also find that you can now ‘pin’ the version you wish to depend on to any of our releases - not just ‘published’ and ‘master’ any more!

How does that work? Is this related to dependencies or git?

oooooooo…I’ve not seen that before!

So how do you do that if you want to offer your own libraries? I can’t find anything in the docs.

I thought it was going to be automatic, but I created 3 environments with 3 branches, explored all the settings I could think of, but couldn’t find anything about dependencies.

I added the app with the 3 environments as dependency of a new app, and I only saw the old Published and Development options only.

Well… this post is about Anvil Extras, let’s wait for the official announcement for the pinnable dependency version :crossed_fingers:

It works off git tags in the repo

So can I set these within the git settings of the IDE?

Please forgive my gitnorance, but I’m 93 you know …

No, not within the IDE (that I know of). For anvil extras, I have a local repo. For a release, I create a tag and push to the github repo which then triggers a push to the app itself at anvil.

I use the excellent bumpversion tool to handle the version numbering and git tags.

Not announcement. But what’s been inferred so far is correct.

Git tags with a v followed by a number will be considered a tagged version. e.g. v2.3-dev.

At present you can push git tags from your local machine to anvil and they should show up as per the drop down list in @stefano.menci screenshot.

Currently there’s no way to add a tagged version in the IDE… yet.

please don’t make me use git properly …

ooo, sounds like it might be on the cards, though. I’ll give you about 8 or 9 years to release that before I bite the bullet on git :slight_smile:
