v0.2.0

Minor Changes

• feat: auto-create (and watch) FileContents for valid file paths (#79)

  import anywidget
  import traitlets
  
  class Counter(anywidget.AnyWidget):
      _esm = "index.js"
      value = traitlets.Int(0).tag(sync=True)

  If a file path for an existing file is detected for _esm or _css,
  the contents will be read from disk automatically. If the resolved
  path is not in site-packages (i.e., likely a development install), a
  background thread will start watching for file changes and push updates
  to the front end.

• feat: add anywidget/types to npm package to allow opt-in strictness (#80)

  // @ts-check
  
  /** @type {import("anywidget/types").Render<{ value: number }>} */
  export function render(view) {
    let value = view.model.get("value");
    //^ ? `number`
  
    view.model.set("value", "not-a-number");
    // Error: Argument of type 'string' is not assignable to parameter of type 'number'. [2345]
  }

v0.1.2

Patch Changes

• feat: add (optional) cleanup/unmount return to render (#67)

  export function render(view) {
    /* create elements and add event listeners */
    return function cleanup() => {
      /* specify how to cleanup any expensive resources created above */
    }
  }

• feat: add colab metadata to _repr_mimebundle_ to fix displaying ipywidgets v7 & v8 in Colab (#75)
