wq.app 1.1.1

wq.app 1.1.1 brings a couple of bug fixes, a new ajax() plugin hook, and an improved wq/chartapp.js API.

Note: there are a number of exciting changes in the works, and wq.app 1.1.1 will be the last release before the big upgrades begin. See #111 for more information.

Bug Fixes

• Prevent users accidentally double-clicking the submit button (#100)

New Features

ajax() plugin hook

You can now completely override the behavior of GET and POST requests made by wq/model.js and wq/outbox.js. To do this, define a wq.app plugin with an ajax() method that takes four arguments: url, data, method, and headers.

define({
    "ajax": function(url, data, method, headers) {
        if (method == "POST") {
            return somePostMethod(url, data, headers)
        } else {
            return someGetMethod(url, headers);
        }
    }
});

Here are a few things to keep in mind:

• The data object for post requests may be either a plain object or a FormData instance.
• You are free to rewrite or completely ignore the passed URL, for example to integrate with an arbitrary (non wq.db) REST API.
• The ajax() method should return a Promise that will resolve to the JSON object returned by the REST service.
• If the REST service is not compatible with wq.db, be sure to process the response into a compatible format.

wq/chartapp.js

A number of changes wq/chart.js and the wq/chartapp.js plugin make it possible to configure the main chart options via custom data-wq-* attributes. For example:

<svg data-wq-url="/api/data/timeseries.csv"
     data-wq-type="timeSeries"
     data-wq-point-cutoff="100"
     data-wq-time-format="%Y-%m-%d"
     data-wq-width="800"
     data-wq-height="600"
     data-wq-x="date"
     data-wq-y="value"
     data-wq-label-template=""
     data-wq-point-label-template="Value on " >
</svg>
