  • For French and English only, in sentence mixin, ability to generate a subject personal pronoun (I, you etc. in English, je, tu etc. in French), using person property in subjectGroup.

Changed

  • #174: the initial rosaenlg package is split in two packages: a rosaenlg-lib package, without any Pug dependency, to be used (1) in 'noPug' mode, and (2) by the rosaenlg package (for templates), and a rosaenlg package, using the rosaenlg-lib package for usage within templates, and having the Pug dependencies. For 'noPug' mode users, this requires to now use the rosaenlg-lib package.

[3.0.0] - 2021-05-06

It is a major version because there are breaking changes.

Added

  • you may use RosaeNLG without using templates, accessing directly the low level JavaScript API; support is experimental. See Usage without Pug templates

  • there are now some "universal tenses" defined, which work for multiple languages; see Universal tenses table

Changed

There are 3 breaking changes that affect existing templates.

ref and refexpr must be reference to mixins

ref and refexpr must now be reference to mixins (and no more strings), and they must be referenced after being declared.

Table 1. Change on ref and refexpr
Before 
- var PRODUCT = {};
- PRODUCT.ref = 'PRODUCT_ref';
mixin PRODUCT_ref(obj, params)

the ring …​.

After

 
- var PRODUCT = {};
mixin PRODUCT_ref(obj, params)

the ring - PRODUCT.ref = PRODUCT_ref; …​.

Your templates will probably fail at runtime if you don’t change them. To migrate:

  • search for .ref and .refexpr in your templates

  • put references instead of strings

  • move them after the referenced mixin declaration

when referencing a mixin, assembly separators properties must not use a string

Assembly separators (last_separator, begin_with_general, etc.) can either be a string or reference a mixin. When referencing a mixin, you must now put the mixin as a reference (no more as a string), and the mixin must have been defined before.

If you don’t migrate, your templates will not fail, but the text will be wrong: you will have the mixin name in the output.

To migrate, search for all assemblies (eachz and itemz) and change their properties if they reference mixins.

mixins and objects cannot have the same name

Mixins are now functions, which have a name; you cannot have mixins and objects having the same name, e.g.

mixin phone
  | bla bla
- var phone = {};

is now invalid.

Your templates will probably fail at runtime if you don’t change them. Rename conflicting mixins or objects.
