RserveTS 0.8.3 (2026-09-24)

• ts_compile.character() and ts_deploy() default output to under tempdir() (or options(RserveTS.compile_dir = ...) / env RSERVETS_COMPILE_DIR) instead of writing beside the source file; pass filename / file to choose an explicit path.
• Consolidate ts_*() type constructors onto a single type_objects help page (?ts_numeric, ?ts_dataframe, etc.).
• Consolidate widget docs onto a single createWidget help page (?widgetActions, ?observer, ?tsWidget).
• ts_compile() hoists nested widget connectors to named top-level TypeScript exports (export const + T* aliases), ordered by child-widget dependencies.
• ts_compile.character() gains format and prettier_cmd to run Prettier (or a compatible CLI) on generated .ts output; prettier_cmd defaults to getOption("RserveTS.prettier_cmd") (NULL until set), with fallback to RserveTS_PRETTIER_CMD / PATH.
• ts_compile.ts_function() also honours format / prettier_cmd; both methods default format to getOption("RserveTS.format", FALSE).
• ts_compile() roxygen documents format / prettier_cmd and clarifies file-path vs ts_function arguments.
• add widgetActions() for typed widget action definitions used by createWidget(actions = ...).
• restore separate createWidget() and widgetActions() reference docs/exports and update pkgdown reference indexing.
• stabilize widget observer tests by replacing parent-environment assignments with explicit test state environments.

RserveTS 0.8.2

• fix ts_compile() app schema output by emitting a named *AppSchema object with typed default export.
• add compile regression test coverage for named app schema and default export shape.

RserveTS 0.8.1

• ts_compile() enhancements
• add debug logging utilities

RserveTS 0.8.0

• Simplify widget creation with createWidget() function. Now takes default values for properties, and automatically flushes state changes to TypeScript after execution.

RserveTS 0.7.2

• Fix bug in JS type for factors.

RserveTS 0.7.0

• Enhanced createWidget() function with support for child widgets. Widgets can now contain other widgets as properties, enabling hierarchical widget structures. The function now properly handles child widget initialization and state management.
• Add objectSignals as dependency
• Export tsWidget base class for proper class lookup

RserveTS 0.6.0

• Add new widget functionality to simplify creating widget objects that store state that can be modified by the JS application. The node package @tmelliott/react-rserve contains hooks for working with these widgets.

• fix bug (use inherits() instead of class() == "")

RserveTS 0.5.0

• rename package to 'RserveTS' to make it more obvious what the package does, and to avoid any potential confusion with "time series"

RserveTS 0.4.0

• (breaking) add export = argument to ts_function() (FALSE by default) to control which functions are exposed with the first connection

RserveTS 0.3.0

• added initial support for js functions with js_function()
• fix return type for ts_undefined(), ts_void(), ts_union() (#6)
• add unnamed array-type list
• add basic error handling (try() around all functions)

RserveTS 0.2.0

• Added support for recursive lists with ts_recursive_list()
• Added support for passing in Javascript functions with js_function()
• Added union types with ts_union()
• Exported array type ts_array() that now works with ts_objects
• Added optional types with ts_optional()
• Exported ts_optional() function
• Updated documentation

RserveTS 0.1.0

The initial developmental release of ts.

API expected to change in future releases as it is tested in various example applications, so if you happen to use this in a project I suggest you pin the version:

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("ws1/[email protected]")
