Version 1.7.0 Released: Bug fix and Enhancements

[jdanylko]

Version 1.7.0 Released!

The primary goal of this release was to address a bug, clean up some code, and provide additional hooks and flexibility for custom setup.

Again, examples are located on the Tuxboard.Examples repository.

Bugs

• When creating a new Dashboard from a DefaultDashboard, the Layouts were not saved. Fixed.

Modifications

• Removed WidgetFolder, ViewFolder, and ComponentFolder since ViewComponents are part of the ASP.NET Core framework and is more flexible to implement.
• Update the GroupName to contain a default for initial seed data
• Changed the TuxDbContext constructor's second parameter from IConfiguration to IOptions<TuxConfig>

Enhancements

• Added CreateSeedData setting to the TuxboardConfig configuration class; true creates the example widgets, false will not create any default widgets/layout content.
• Added a parameter to each EntityTypeConfiguration's constructor for custom seeding data
• Exposed additional methods to detect whether a Dashboard exists or not:
  • DashboardExistsFor() - specifically for a user (sync)
  • DashboardExistsForAsync() - specifically for a user (async)
  • DashboardExists() - specifically for a default dashboard w/ no user (sync)
  • DashboardExistsAsync() - specifically for a default dashboard w/ no user (async)
