What's New in Elentra JS 1.4?

Overview

Elentra JS 1.4 is an incremental update that adds many quality of life improvements for Elentra JS that have often been requested by members of the Elentra Consortium.

This update is not intended to bridge the gap between versions 1.x and the newly released 2.x (included in Elentra ME 1.16+). Rather, it is a series of enhancements to some of the more commonly used components in the EJS Component Library, meant to streamline their use and improve the quality of both the user and developer experiences.

Change Log

EJS-225: HTTP client library switches verbs/methods into lower case

The request class of the HTTP/S client library translates all verbs/methods into lower case. The more acceptable convention is upper case, which in some cases is required by third-party service providers like Cloudflare (proxy/WAF).

EJS-231: Use CKEditor 4 Vue.js component in TextEditor.vue

CKEditor 4 offers a native Vue integration through the CKEditor 4 Vue component. It provides deep integration of CKEditor 4 and Vue that lets you use the native features of the WYSIWYG editor inside a Vue component. The CKEditor 4 Vue component is compatible with Vue.js 2.x.

EJS-248: Switch to yarn package manager

In order to promote some consistency with Elentra JS 2.x, we have switched EJS1 to also use the yarn package manager. yarn intall and yarn build:all are now used instead of npm install and npm run-script build:all. More information is included in the README.md file.
