BladeRunnerJS v1.2.0

BladeRunnerJS v1.2.0 contains a number of minor changes and features. It's backwardly compatible with BladeRunnerJS v1.1.

Improvements to missing i18n translation handling

The handling of missing i18n translations has been changed to provide better feedback to developers and translators when there are missing translations, while still ensuring that the app does the best job it can with the translations it has available when running in production. The exact behaviour is described below.

In Production (via brjs build)

Tokens within HTML templates

The translator first attempts to find a replacement for the active locale, but falls back to using the default locale if one isn't available, causing a warning to be logged to the terminal. If there isn't even a fall-back translation available the build will fail with an error message.

Tokens accessed programmatically in JavaScript

The translator first attempts to find a replacement for the active locale, but falls back to using the default locale if one isn't available, causing a warning to be logged to the browser's console at run-time. If there isn't even a fall-back translation available, a translation of ??? token.name ??? will be used, and an error will be logged to the browser's console at run-time.

In Development (via brjs serve)

Tokens within HTML templates

The translator first attempts to find a replacement for the active locale, but falls back to displaying a translation of ??? token.name ??? if one isn't available, causing a warning to be logged to the browser's console. In the case where a translation isn't even available in the default locale then logging occurs at error level rather than warning level.

Added a --js-minifier setting to test command

The test command now has the option of specifying the minifier used when building the bundles/js/bundle.js test bundle; previously, combined was always used. The minifier can be specified by using the --js-minifier flag when running tests (e.g. brjs test myApp UTs --js-minifier closure-simple), where this flag accepts the same set of minifiers as supported by the <@js.bundle ...@/> tag that's used within index.html pages.

Note: The minifier flag only configures the minifier to use when a logical path of bundles/js/bundle.js is used. Fully specified paths will continue to use the defined minifier. For example, closure-whitespace would be used if the path was bundles/js/dev/closure-whitespace/bundle.js, regardless of the command line setting.
