cstate turns 5 years old this year! happy hacktoberfest!

HTML Embed upgrades to version 2! See the status without even opening a new tab

🚨 Show a dialog when the status changes in the corner of the screen OR 🟢 / 🔴 show a status indicator dot in the HTML markup (like in the footer)

⏰ Checks only on page load OR can be configured to do so every x seconds with setTimeout / programatically

And there's still an option to provide your own UI like in version 1!

Check it out here!

cstate v5.5 doesn't include much but does:

• #243 – replace icons to be better supported across operating systems
• #246 - translation bugfix (disrupted label did not show)
• #248 - Respect timezone even in last modified date when timeZone was set
• Better out of the box support for Cloudflare Pages:

To allow for the reading of API output by default on CF Pages, a _headers file is now added to /static/ from this version on. Netlify still has netlify.toml from the root. https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/platform/headers/ – if you use CF Pages and the API does not work, make sure you have this file in the static folder.

• Added Japanese translation - thank you @kr-tukimi
• The data about a component/system (like its name and its associated issues) is now exposed to a custom partial. Very powerful feature, thank you @jhanos
• #224 fixed - some weirdly formatted posts looked as if they were pinned even though they were not
• System link removed from list.html (categories) pages, default example site builds again without issue
• Miscellaneous updates and bugfixes

Mostly bugfixes but there's a nice added feature for the components:

• Fixed RSS XML formatting - #228, #216
• Additionally, RSS by default now has the correct CORS headers. You can change them manually in a headers file if you're upgrading (for example, for netlify.toml - see below) - #221
• Fixed some style inconsistencies - #213
• Introduced link as an optional attribute for a component/system. Link to a frontend right from cState's systems list! Thanks @aperullo for an excellent solution - see #223
• Typo fixes, etc.

if you want to unblock cors for netlify.toml, use this:

[headers]
    for = ["/*.json", "/*.xml"]
    [headers.values] 
      Access-Control-Allow-Origin = "*"

• Inspired from #205 - added pinned informational posts - they will show up when pin is set to true for issues (can toggle in Netlify CMS as well)
• Category toggles no longer show an 'x' which was earlier suggested to be confusing by a user
• README and documentation simplified and improved
• Check out the new cState website - https://cstate.netlify.app (updated domain pending)
• And check out the other already existing integrations like Shields, the HTML Embed, or a community-made monitor bot (more in wiki)!

If you open the live demo, you can see how pinned informational posts look like.

Today we're celebrating Hacktoberfest with a critical bugfix to the JSON API so it works properly when checking for a singular component status (unneeded , removed) and expanding 'shields' - SVG badges - to show status for ANY component as per a user suggestion - #208.

You will need to change the config.yml file for this feature to be enabled. (If you use Netlify CMS, just update your site configuration and the SVG links for specific components will start working after the next deploy.)

This is what your outputs should look like:

outputs:
  page:
    - html
    - json
  section:
    - html
    - json
    - rss
  home:
    - html
    - json
    - rss
    - svg
  term:
    - html
    - json
    - rss
    - svg

Notice that svg is now added to the bottom under term as well as home.

Once you've done that, go to yourexamplesite.com/affected/api/index.svg (or basically just click open the status page, click on one component (in this case it's API) and then add /index.svg to the end of the link.

v5.0.5 includes:

• #199 the date for future issues is shown instead of "ongoing" which is confusing if it hasn't even started

This has prompted a discussion about maintenance issues and how to make them work better which will be addressed in a future release.

• #204 this release also fixes an invalid JSON template
• typo fixes by community members

The updates in this release were pushed to the master branch earlier but didn't receive an official release (meaning you could have a v5.0.4 release which was compiled from different source code depending on where you found it). This update is official and will show up as v5.0.5 when checked in console and all the other usual places.

This repo is starred by 1425 people as of midnight October 1st. Make sure to read #207 and join Hacktoberfest 2021 by contributing your thoughts about how to improve cState!

cState has 1361 stars. Thanks for using it!

• Mildly improved documentation

cState has 1255 stars as of May 9th, thank you for your support!
