The Evergreen Web section in Kitten’s¹ settings now has its own page too (and uses Kitten’s new Streaming HTML² workflow).

If you have the previous version of your site up somewhere, you can use the 404-to-307 technique³ to forward missing pages to your old site so as not to break the Web.

I’ll add local static archive support later.

This is a niche one but it might help someone in the future:

How to include multiple directories from different places in the file system hierarchy in an archive without including the whole directory structure for any of them.

TL; DR: use symlinks.

Just published a minor update (version 5.1.1) to JavaScript Database (JSDB) that optimises the custom data type¹ serialisation code by removing a redundant return statement:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/@small-tech/jsdb

This change is backwards compatible and shouldn’t require and updates to your projects, including the ones you have in Kitten (which uses JSDB internally).

Just deployed a new Kitten¹ version 🎉

• Adds database backup and restore in your app’s Kitten settings page (/💕/settings)

• Upgrades version of JSDB from 4 to 5²

• You can emit and listen for events on the session object you get from `request.session` in your routes now.

JSDB 5.1.0 published¹ 🎉

• Forgetting to pass a custom class that’s persisted in your database in your `JSDB.open()` call now throws instead of corrupting your database by falling back to using an untyped object.

• Added JSDF ver. 2 to 3 database migration script (i.e., JSDB version 2-4 to 5)²

To install update:

npm install @small-tech/jsdb@5.1.0

To really drive home the above 👆 point that 100% test coverage does not mean ‘bug free’, just found a bug in JSDB¹ 5.0.0 where running JSON.stringify() on a complex custom object (actually: the automatic Proxy of the custom object created by JSDB) results in an error.

Already have a failing test and about to implement fix.

(It’s at this point where the test harness is invaluable.)

JSDB 5.0.0 published 🎉

• Custom classes must have a `constructor` that accepts a parameter object as its only argument. Constructors are run during deserialisation.

• Custom classes can now safely extend other classes (e.g., `EventEmitter`).

• Properties that begin with an underscore (`_`) are treated as private and ignored.

• Objects with null prototypes are supported. i.e., objects created with `Object.create(null, …)`.

Realised last night that JavaScript Database (JSDB) doesn’t run the constructor on persisted custom objects (https://codeberg.org/small-tech/jsdb#custom-data-types) when deserialising them because I didn’t know that you apparently have to define your constructor manually when using Object.create().

Will fix it today but it’s something to watch out for if you’re using Object.create() directly.
