Agrippa 1.2 is out 🎉🎉

Agrippa is growing steadily - it's been out for a little over two months, and already has a small community around it! 🎉🎉

Either way, these are the changes introduced in v1.2.0:

In general, the two main changes brought about in v1.2.0 are more options, this time with a focus on supporting different structural conventions that exist among React developers.

Most notably, you can now:

• export a component as a default export (instead of a named export)
• declare a component as a function() declaration (instead of as a const with an arrow function)
• create memo() components.

These changes came as part of a larger reform in component generation. Generation logic was remade from the ground up - instead of a large, unwieldy template, we now have proper composition patterns and a ComponentComposer; internal terminology aside, this reform makes it much easier to scale, maintain and test the generation logic.

Following this reform, we have begun the process of writing standardized tests - testing for some of the core code already exists, and the rest will be covered in the soon future.

In parallel, we got some bonus enhancements - the API docs were rewritten and are now both comprehensive and easy to read, and Agrippa will also now search for a new version when run, so that you'll always be informed when a new version is available.

You can also find this information at the release page.

That's pretty much it! We already have some ideas for v1.3.0 - we're currently looking into adding support for styled-components, React native Stylesheets and Mui 5 styling, writing more tests and more.
