2.x.x release notes

2.2.1.RELEASE

Release 2.2.1 is an integral replacement for 2.2.0, fixing an issue with numeric controls. Consumers should refrain from linking to 2.2.0.

2.1.1.RELEASE

2.1.0.RELEASE

  • fixed issues with control name prefixing and added the ControlNamePrefixAdjuster implementation

    • some utility method BootstrapElementUtils.prefixControlNames(String) have been added to cover simple (common) cases

    • a guide on control name prefixing has been added to show the right way to change control names

2.0.1.RELEASE

  • DateTimeFormElements now have support for LocalDate, LocalTime, LocalDateTime

  • FormViewElement and FormViewElementBuilder now allow you to configure either a command object or an Errors instance directly

    • this makes it easier to resolve field errors for the FormGroupElement members of the form, without having to know the model attribute name

    • when using the errors property directly, it is no longer required that the command object binding result is present on the model

  • the default builders now usually support localized text patterns for any text property

    • for example: BootstrapUiBuilders.button().title("#{my.button=Default text}")

  • TextboxFormElement rendered inside a FormGroupElement which detects field errors, will now render the original input value if there are errors present

  • direct use of BootstrapUiFactory or BootstrapUiComponentFactory is now discouraged, these interfaces have been deprecated

    • use the stateless BootstrapUiBuilders facade instead

  • added a TooltipViewElement with corresponding builder to quickly generate a tooltip with a default question mark icon

    • see BootstrapUiBuilders.tooltip() for a builder method

  • FormGroupElement has been refactored to support more descriptions

    • a tooltip can be set which will be added to the label - after the label text and required indicator

    • a descriptionBlock can be set which will be added to the group before the control

    • a helpBlock can be set which will be added to the group after the control

    • the property renderHelpBlockBeforeControl has been removed as the descriptionBlock is always rendered before the control, and the helpBlock always after the control
