Existing UI Systems have been overhauled:

  • ui/scopes: have been de-deprecated and reworked
  • ui/surface: now controls general UI behavior and can derfer it to other systems entirely

All UI Components may now inherit from the new ui/component base-class, as new functionality and requirements have been added.

Icons have been reworked to use Google's Material Symbols instead of Image files.
Icons that are used are mapped and available in ui/icons.

New Systems for dynamic, and consistent UIs have been added:

  • ui/dropdown: Adds a generic way to open a dropdown on a specific component.
  • ui/dynamicForm: Allows for dynamic form and form-control generation, as well as a component registry to add new components.
  • ui/modal: Adds a generic way to open modals with a form.

New UI Components have been added:

  • ui/attributeButton: Regular button, which also allows for editing of a single attribute of an HTML-Element.
  • ui/attributeToggleButton: Extension of ui/attributeButton which adds toggle functions to the button.
  • ui/checkbox: Checkbox component to control a boolean value.
  • ui/colorPicker: Color picker to either select a pre-defined color value or let‘s the user select/pick one.
  • ui/contextButton: Button which opens a context (Modal/Dropdown) on click.
  • ui/contextToggleButton: Extension of ui/contextButton which adds toggle functions to the button.
  • ui/dateTimePicker: Date-Time Picker to enter/select a date, or a date-time.
  • ui/iframe: Iframe which allows embedding of external components and interacts via the window message protocol.
  • ui/input: Formerly ui/text, and is a generic input element.
  • ui/select: Select which allows the user to select one or more options.
  • ui/selectMenu: Special select for dropdowns only. Allows the user to select only one option and has additional step for extra data input.
  • ui/slider: Horizontal slider/range to select a number.
  • ui/splitButton: Button which has a secondary smaller button added to it.
  • ui/text: Just text without any interactions.
  • ui/toggleSplitButton: Extension of ui/splitBtton which adds toggle functions to the button.

Components which have been removed:

  • ui/accordionMenuButton: Use a combination of ui/contextButton, or ui/dropdown; and the ui/selectMenu instead.
  • ui/menuButton: Use a combination of ui/contextButton, or ui/dropdown; and the ui/selectMenu instead.
  • ui/multiSplit: Use either a ui/splitButton, or a combination of ui/contextButton, or ui/dropdown; and the ui/selectMenu instead.
  • ui/port-helper-attribute-field: Use the ui/attributeButton or ui/attributeToggleButton instead.
  • ui/port-helper-multi-split: Use either a ui/splitButton, or a combination of ui/contextButton, or ui/dropdown; and the ui/selectMenu instead.
  • ui/text: Not directly removed, but changed to ui/input, as this component will now only render text.

Component layouts and stylings may have changed significantly.

Enhancement GPU-1253

Various settings for plugins and the UI Toolbar have been changed.

Noteworthy changes for the Aloha.settings.toolbar:

  • Tabs require an id, and label property and optionally an icon.
  • Tab component slots (@components@) can be defined by either string or as { slot: string; scope: string | string[] } elements.

For full type definitions, check the ui/settings file.
