Fixed​

  • Fixed remaining issue by using ExpansionConfigurationContext instead of ModelLoadingContext.

8.1.0 (2025-04-24)​

  • Added support for providing Variable bindings. Variables can be provided by implementing net.democritus.expander.variables.ExpanderVariable and registering it as a Service. Add VariableScope annotation to define where the variable is applicable.
  • [mapping] Added new syntax for list
    • foreach adds a new iteration. List mappings can now include multiple iterations.
    • item adds a single item.
    • items adds a number of items based on its internal mapping.
  • [mapping] Added strict attribute to mapping header. If set to true, the mapping will fail when encountering references to unbound variables.
