The objectName instance property of the Uize base class has been renamed to instanceId.

This is a seldom used property, so the chances of your code having used it are very slim. The old name has not been deprecated, but has been completely eliminated. Affected modules of the UIZE JavaScript Framework have been updated appropriately.

The widgets instance property of the Uize.Widget base class has been deprecated in favor of the new children instance property, and the addChild and removeChild instance methods.

The widgets property was an object, having a map property which was an object hash of all of a widget's children, an add method which allowed child widgets to be added, and a remove method which allowed child widgets to be removed. The new interface is semantically more elegant.

SUMMARY

myWidget.widgets.map           >> BECOMES >>  myWidget.children
myWidget.widgets.add (...)     >> BECOMES >>  myWidget.addChild (...)
myWidget.widgets.remove (...)  >> BECOMES >>  myWidget.removeChild (...)

INSTEAD OF...

myWidget.widgets.map.someChild.widgets.map.someChild

USE...

myWidget.children.someChild.children.someChild

The widgets property has only been deprecated, so code that uses it will still work. However, code should be gradually refactored to use the new interface as the widgets property will be eliminated at some point in the future. Affected modules of the UIZE JavaScript Framework have been updated appropriately.

The Uize.DataFace module has been eliminated and its two methods have been promoted to being first class citizens of the Uize.Node package.

Affected modules of the UIZE JavaScript Framework have been updated appropriately.

SUMMARY

Uize.DataFace.setNodeValue (...)  >> BECOMES >>  Uize.Node.setValue (...)
Uize.DataFace.getNodeValue (...)  >> BECOMES >>  Uize.Node.getValue (...)

The getByNameOrId static method of the Uize.Node module has been deprecated in favor of an updated version of the Uize.Node.getById static method.

The way that Uize.Node.getById now works, if getting the node by id fails, an attempt will be made to get the node by name. As such, the getById method name is a slight misnomer, but its name may change in future as well to become more generic. The benefit of using the Uize.Node.getById method is that it implements support for node caching which can speed up performance in certain browsers.

SUMMARY

Uize.Node.getByNameOrId (...)  >> BECOMES >>  Uize.Node.getById (...)
