New Features

  • Constraint-based priorities, supported by listeners, modelListeners, modelRelay, distributeOptions, contextAwareness, and components. This allows the specific order of those items to be configured. (See: Priorities)
  • Context Awareness - and things it relies on:
    • Global Instantiator
      • Every Infusion component, regardless of how it is instantiated, ends up in a single-rooted tree of components
      • This enables use of modern IoC features such as model relay and declarative event binding
      • Enables use of the root distributeOptions context "/"
      • Enables the removal of "demands blocks"
      • Useful debugging tip: Watch fluid.globalInstantiator in your JS debugging tools to see the structure of your application and its tree.
  • fluid.notImplemented function for implementing abstract grades
  • Lazy loading for UI Options and instructions for how to use the Preferences Framework with a zero initial load time.
    • This should assist in improving performance when using the Preferences Framework, particularly for resource intensive sites and applications
  • Much faster invokers and boiled listeners (c. 60x faster)
  • Support for using Infusion with npm for both Node.js and web-based projects.
    • Provides a variety of prebuilt versions of Infusion in the module's dist directory.
  • Source Maps are generated for the concatenated JavaScript files
  • View oriented IoC debugging tools
    • Including FluidViewDebugging.js on the page of any Infusion application gives you access to the IoC View Inspector. Click on the small cogwheel icon at the bottom right of the page to open a panel which shows the details of the view components and their grades, that are attached to DOM nodes in the browser pane. This interface works similarly to the DOM Inspector familiar from modern web browsers, but is an experimental implementation with an engineer-level UI.

Removal of Deprecated Features

  • Manual lifecycle points finalInit, postInit, etc.
  • Obsolete syntax for arguments, options, etc.
  • "autoInit" grade
  • Static and dynamic environments, replaced by Global Instantiator
  • The old model component hierarchy and "old ChangeApplier" implementation
  • fluid.demands
  • No more distinction between fast and dynamic invokers
  • Model Relay specific component grades have been removed, model relay now works with any model grade.

Obtaining Infusion

You can create your own custom build of Infusion using the grunt build script.

Demos

Infusion ships with demos of all of the components in action. You can find them in the demos folder in the release bundle or on our build site.

When running the demos on your local machine, a web server is recommended. Several of the demos make use of AJAX calls; which typically are not allowed by the browser when run from the local file system.
