v0.2.0

• 🟥 camel case!
  • light_view is now lightView
  • light_component is now lightComponent
  • shadow_view is now shadowView
  • shadow_component is now shadowComponent
• 🟥 use.defer
  • now returns a Signal
  • it used to directly return a value
  • the reason for this change, was that the old way created a footgun where it's very easy to accidentally hold an old reference to the deferred value that you wanted. so, now using a signal, your access to the signal's value is more likely to be an up-to-date reference
• op loading effects
  • 🟥 prep_op_effect replaced by makeLoadingEffect or makeAnimatedLoadingEffect
  • 🍏 added loading effects like loading.binary(op, onReady) and loading.braille(op, onReady)
• 🟥 eliminated @benev/slate/x/pure.js
  • beware if you are using slate in a node.js environment
  • pure.js was an alternative entrypoint for node to import the parts of slate that didn't touch any DOM apis
  • instead, now, if you are importing slate into node, you should do this first:

    import "@benev/slate/x/node.js"
    

  • all this does is assign global.HTMLElement = class {} because extending HTMLElement is the only contact that slate has with the dom at import time
  • thus, the new node.js is a little shim that lets you import all of slate in node (maybe for unit testing or to use some tools)
• 🟥 interval tool: changed arguments
  • now it accepts plain milliseconds
  • whereas the new interval.hz accepts hertz, replacing what used to be called interval
  • thus, to upgrade, replace interval(1, fn) with interval.hz(1, fn)
• 🔶 deprecate signal.subscribe in favor of signal.on
• 🔶 deprecate tools:
  • Trashcan (in favor of Trashbin)
  • pub (in favor of pubsub)
• 🍏 added use.load helper for creating an op and immediately initiating a load operation
• 🍏 added tools:
  • wherefor
  • ref and Ref
