v0.9.2

[rthrfrd]

Breaking changes

This version contains major performance improvements, particularly for rendering of pages with thousands/millions of elements. The changes in this release should allow a stable v1.0 to soon follow.

Reworked internals to avoid all copies where possible/desired:

• Added internal mutable structure to allow std::move out of initialiser_list.
• While the shape of the interface has not changed, the move/copy behaviour has, and thus implementations that are dependent on webxx's current copying behaviour, and not move-ing any supplied values, may cause breakages. See docs.

Compute component IDs at compile time:

• The component ID hashed that enable scoped CSS are now created via constexpr.
• While something of an internal implementation detail, the generated hash values differ from previous implementations as a result.

New features

• Added loop utility function: The second parameter of the callback is supplied with a Loop object containing information such as index and total count. See docs.

• Added 'head elements' to components: Components can now be constructed with a third parameter containing elements that will be collected into the new headTarget element. This is useful for preloading component assets. See docs.

Hey man, just wanted to say your library is pretty awesome. I had been looking around for something like this for C++ which I've been learning recently. I used it with HTMX for a little demo app.

It works well with HTMX. It's nice not having to use some external templates with CMake etc. And this seems even better than for example Go's Templ library as it's in native C++ so no extra build step. Anyways good work.

Thanks for taking the time to let me know!

Great to hear about HTMX: The (closed source) project where webxx is primarily used will eventually need HTMX too - at which point I was planning to add an additional optional include/webxx-htmx.h file to cover as many HTMX features as practical.

More performance improvements and reduced page sizes coming soon!
