New version Total.js v2.1.0 + new products

Total.js

We are happy to announce, that new version v2.1.0 of Total.js framework is out. We added some new features and fixed a few bugs. Have a look at changes on GitHub: changes.txt. We also redesigned our website at www.totaljs.com.

Important: We are looking for investors

Rewritten javascript minification algorithm

The algorithm had to be rewritten due to some changes in licensing of the algorithm we used previously. New algorithm is a bit faster and more efective.

News in Schemas: Hooks

Currently we only use Hooks in a project that is not released yet, but it has a great potential in modular aplications. Using Hooks allows You to react when something happens, before/after saving data to db, when some page is to be rendered, etc.

NEWSCHEMA('Test').make(function(schema) {

    schema.define('count', Number);

    schema.addHook('sum', function(error, model, options, callback) {
        model.count += 5;
        callback();
    });

    schema.addHook('sum', function(error, model, options, callback) {
        model.count += 10;
        callback();
    });

    var empty = schema.create();

    empty.$hook('sum', function(err, response) {
        // Output: SchemaInstance { count: 15 }
        console.log(response);
    });
});

Improved sitemaps

Sitemaps now supports localisation in urls. We made some minor changes to improve overall functionality. More informations in docs: https://docs.totaljs.com/latest/en.html#pages~File%3A%20sitemap

Re-introduced and improved streaming of images

Previously removed streaming of images using multipart/x-mixed-replace is now back. Thanks to this it's possible to stream images for example from IP camera which supports MJPEG. Implementation is quite simple.

Examples:

New function F.group()

We added new method F.group(flags, scope), which extends flags in scope for following methods F.route(), F.websocket() and F.file(). The inspiration comes from PHP framework Laravel.

F.group(['#middleware', 'authorize', '*User'], function() {
    F.route('/api/users/',      json_query);
    F.route('/api/users/',      json_create, ['post']);
    F.route('/api/users/{id}/', json_read);    
    F.route('/api/users/{id}/', json_update, ['put']);
    F.route('/api/users/{id}/', json_delete, ['delete']);
});

// the above is same as
F.route('/api/users/',      json_query, ['#middleware', 'authorize', '*User']);
F.route('/api/users/',      json_create, ['post', '#middleware', 'authorize', '*User']);
F.route('/api/users/{id}/', json_read, ['#middleware', 'authorize', '*User']);    
F.route('/api/users/{id}/', json_update, ['put', '#middleware', 'authorize', '*User']);
F.route('/api/users/{id}/', json_delete, ['delete', '#middleware', 'authorize', '*User']);

WebSocket auto-destroy

New method has been added to websocket controller controller.autodestroy([callback]). This method will destroy the instance of controller and release memory if there's no user online.
