webrarian 0.1.2

New features

  • The Files tab opens a file with a double-click or Enter (#3).

  • The Files tab has a menu on each file with Open, Rename, Download and Delete. Open it with a right-click, the button at the end of the row, or Shift+F10. The toolbar keeps Refresh, Upload, New File and New Folder.

  • The Files tab selects several files with Shift or Ctrl (Command on a Mac), to download as one zip, delete together or open together.

  • New ui.theme setting pins a site to light or dark. With the default, auto, a Settings gear in the footer lets each visitor choose Auto, Light or Dark. A brand whose palette is dark is pinned to dark.

Minor improvements and fixes

  • A brand logo with light and dark variants shows each in its scheme on the loading screen.

  • A loading screen with ui.loading.custom-html keeps its light colors.

  • Custom CSS that targets dark mode with @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) alone misses a visitor who chose Dark on a light system. vignette("customization") shows the rule to add.

  • The scroll bars the browser draws, and HTML output other than help pages, keep following the visitor’s system.

  • The Files tab renames with F2, names new files and folders in place, and asks before a delete without the browser’s pop-up boxes, so it works on a site embedded in a frame that blocks them.

  • Renaming or deleting a file renames or closes its editor tab.

  • The Files tab draws the lines that tree prints.

  • The Files tab keeps the highlighted row when the list is refreshed.

  • New File and renaming an editor tab no longer overwrite an existing file.

  • A deleted file is no longer written back from its open tab.

  • vignette("deployment") says where HTTP requests work: curl and httr2 need cross-origin isolation headers, so their requests time out on GitHub Pages (#2).

webrarian 0.1.1

  • Run and Ctrl+Enter (Command+Enter on a Mac) run the whole statement the cursor is in when nothing is selected, then move to the next statement (#1).

  • The editor colors code with GitHub’s syntax styles, light or dark with the visitor’s color scheme.

webrarian 0.1.0

First public release. webrarian builds static websites where R runs in the visitor’s browser through webR, with your packages installed and your files in place.

The API is experimental before 1.0 and may change, with deprecation warnings where practical.
