5.2.0

FEATURE

• Recently Viewed Products
  • Introduced a new component ff-recently-viewed to display the user's most recently viewed products.

IMPROVEMENT

• Suggest
  • Add hide-delay attribute to ff-suggest to allow configuration of the time it takes Suggest's popup to close. Use it when your users experience unreliable click behavior. Happens typically with input devices such as touchpads.
  • <a> tags within ff-suggest-item elements now behave "natively" on Ctrl-click etc.
• Hit highlighting
  • Introduced new formatter ff-hitHighlight to be used in HTML templates of ff-asn-group-element and ff-suggest-item.
  • New attribute no-auto-highlight on ff-asn and ff-suggest.
    • These two elements add the highlighting markup to the underlying data.
      This makes the data unusable for other purposes.
      With no-auto-highlight, this no longer happens.
      Instead, you specify ff-hitHighlight in the HTML templates yourself wherever you need it.
      Example: <ff-suggest-item type="productName">{{{ff-hitHighlight name}}}</ff-suggest-item>.
    • We recommend to adjust your integration to use no-auto-highlight as this behavior will become the default in a future release.

FIX

• Suggest
  • Popup closes before click event is registered. Especially noticeable on touchpads.
• ff-asn
  • Default template of ff-asn-group-element correctly renders hit highlighting.
• Predictive Basket
  • Cart and checkout tracking threw an error.

5.1.8

FIX

• Suggest
  • Suggest does not close when using TAB key to jump out of search box.
  • When using suggest-onfocus on ff-searchbox, the last Suggest result is reused without issuing a new request.
  • Suggest no longer remains open under certain conditions when it should close.
• Tracking
  • Click, cart and checkout tracking did not include campaign ID.

5.1.7

FIX

• Always use absolute URLs for history updates.
  • This avoids unexpected URLs when a base path is configured with the <base> tag.

IMPROVEMENT

• Implement handling of URL fragment during URL generation.
• Implement liveRankingRules parameter
  • Appears in SearchParams, NavigationParams, SuggestParams

5.1.6

FIX

• Implementation of followSearch parameter
  • Paging and products-per-page elements did not send followSearch after initial request.
  • ff-searchbox erroneously sent it for search and suggestions when it shouldn't.

IMPROVEMENT

• ff-asn-group, ff-asn-group-slider
  • Set default style to visibility:hidden on collapsed groups. This takes nested elements out of the tabindex chain. display:none cannot be used because it breaks the recalculation of the slider's position.
• Add latest REST API parameter exactSearchMode to SearchParams and SuggestParams.
• URL manipulation
  • Add option to only partially block the category filter's path from being written to the URL. This is important on category pages where a part of the category path is already in the URL's static path while deeper filter levels shall remain dynamic.
  • Affected APIs are: routing.setUrlParamOptionsListener and utils.env.searchParamsFromUrl.

5.1.5

FIX

• Hitting the ENTER key on an item in ff-record-list does not navigate to detail page.

5.1.4

IMPROVEMENT

• URL manipulation
  • Add search parameters showMarkets and showPermutedSearchParams to default block-list of URL writing. These parameters are rather internal in their nature and typically should not appear in the URL.

5.1.3

IMPROVEMENT

• Add filter field to campaign params (CampaignPageParams, CampaignProductParams, CampaignShoppingCartParams) to mirror updated FactFinder REST API.
• Add support for new REST API parameter useVectorSearchMode in SearchControlParams.
• Add option to specify HTML templates through different syntax to avoid clashes with 3rd party frameworks.
  • Available in ff-record-list and ff-suggest.

5.1.2

FIX

• skipBeforeHandlers flag is ignored in search and navigation requests.

5.1.1

IMPROVEMENT

• Add support for new FactFinder fields
  • filterWarning (Filter)
  • showPermutedSearchParams (NavigationCategoryParams, NavigationParams, SearchParams, SuggestParams)

5.1.0

FEATURE

• Popular Searches
  • Activate with new attribute <ff-searchbox popular-searches>
  • Rendering happens through ff-suggest with new template slot <template data-role="popular-searches">

IMPROVEMENT

• ff-suggest
  • The suggestions template is now defined through <template data-role="suggestions">.
  • The old approach remains available for compatibility but is no longer documented.
