2sxc 11.10 - SPA, REST, Git, Performance and Oqtane

11/17/2020

2sxc 11.10 has much for Single-Page-Applications using REST, Git-Development, Performance and Oqtane-preparations.

Highlight #1: Guide to using REST

2sxc has had REST APIs for SPA and Headless scenarios for many years, but people had a hard time getting started because of the way permissions and HTTP headers work in DNN. We now created a built in guide to use it, showing real code snippets and permission notes - all in the admin UI.

Check out all these goodies - and there is so much more:

Highlight #2: Restore App to Previous State using Git

When developing in a team, it's often useful to reset an App to the state it was in previously. We've now added a system to re-import the app.xml and just reset the clock.

More Highlights

Lot's of import/export enhancements - performance for thousands of delete / imports #2210
Performance improvements using ImmutableArrays and more with +10 to +30% in many scenarios #2206 and #2215
Preparing Cross-Platform (Hybrid) information objects to replace Dnn.Portal etc. #2224
Change that the default wysiwyg is now in the dialog again (not in an extra window) #2219
A lot of work preparing for Oqtane 🚀

Clean-Ups and Refactoring

We did a lot of internal API clean-up and refactoring to better port 2sxc to Oqtane

A lot of work around dependency injection (DI) #2234 #2230 #2231 #2232 #2245
Internal APIs enhanced / reworked #2239 #2236 #2233 #2220

Bugs

Query objects couldn't purge cache #2217
JS sometimes loaded old cached files #2216
ValueSort accidentally filtered values if the attribute name was spelled wrong #2207
Removing / changing the DNN primary language had side-effects #2243
Using Dnn or CreateInstance(...) in a .cs file which was itself initialized with CreateInstance failed #2226 #2225
Imports didn't always merge existing data correctly #2214
Ensure that Entity.Attributes is always case insensitive #2235

Breaking Changes and Warnings

We modified a lot of the internal API to better use DI as it's intended. Because of that, internal APIs were moved around a bit and more than 10'000 lines of code were touched. This shouldn't affect anybody but it may cause issues with custom DataSources that were using very deep, internal APIs.
