What's new

New features

• Datetime input
  Support for datetime input has been added for string type fields using format: 'datetime' key.
  Read about its usage here: Datetime field.

• Multiple choice selection
  Support for multiple choice selection. Learn more in usage docs: Multiple selections.

• Default value for array
  Support for default initial value for an array. Earlier, only array itemscould have a default value.
  The problem with that is when a new item was added, the same default value was also added again.
  With this feature, it is now possible to set multiple default values on an array.

• Clearable file inputs
  Now file upload inputs can be cleared, i.e. their value can be unset.
  Earlier, it wasn't possible to empty a file input once a value was attached.

• Callable schema may receive the model instance
  Now the callable schema function may optionally receive the current model instance as an argument.

Bugfixes

• #25: Fixed a bug where editing a key in an extendable dict (object) made the key disappear.
• #27: Fixed a bug to make the editor work in admin inlines.

Minor improvements

• Autogrowing textarea
  Textarea's height will now grow automatically as the user types in. This saves the user from having to manually resize the textarea.

• Animated list items
  List items will have a nice animation when moved up/down or removed. This will help provide some feedback to the user.
  Earlier it wasn't obvious when list items were moved.
