Coralite v0.38.6 Released

Thomas David - 23 June 26

Coralite v0.38.6 has been released. This update resolves a key issue with imperatively created components, ensuring that getters referenced as template tokens render correctly instead of rendering as empty strings. It also introduces several stability enhancements to component metadata extraction and attribute parsing.

In previous versions, getters utilized as template tokens within imperatively initialized components could fail to resolve, resulting in empty strings. To fix this, we have enhanced the metadata extraction pipeline:

• Static Fallback Extraction: We introduced a static extraction fallback in _safeRegister for getters, attributes, and slots from component scripts. This ensures component metadata is correctly captured even if runtime evaluation is bypassed or fails.
• Unified Property Extraction: Property extraction has been streamlined by removing the redundant findAndExtractProperties function and improving extractComponentProperty to reliably extract static properties from any defineComponent declaration.
• Serialization in ScriptManager: ScriptManager has been updated to normalize and serialize getters correctly for inclusion in client-side bundles.

The following example displays a component definition using getters that now resolve correctly as template tokens:

  import { defineComponent } from 'coralite';
  
  export default defineComponent({
    properties: {
      firstName: String,
      lastName: String
    },
    getters: {
      fullName() {
        return `${this.firstName} ${this.lastName}`;
      }
    },
    template: `<div>Welcome, {{ fullName }}!</div>`
  });

We corrected attribute parsing in createComponentDefinition to properly support shorthand type definitions. This adjustment prevents unexpected crashes during base evaluation when processing component definitions with shorthand attributes.

The changes have been thoroughly validated with new end-to-end (E2E) test cases and verified via visual screenshot assertions.
