Hey there, Sparrowians!
Good news—Sparrow 2.16.0 has swooped in and kicked bugs to the bugs! 🐞 Say goodbye to the dreaded white screens, no more cURL tantrums with images or GraphQL drama, and we’ve sprinkled in Storybook magic with a side of other “bestsellers.” Here’s what’s new:
Storybook Magic:
We’ve sprinkled open-source Storybook fairy dust into the Sparrow API tool! Now, with color palettes, iconography, logos, layouts, buttons, shadows, spacing, and typography, you’ve got the ultimate design toolbox.
Peek behind the curtains, test UI components like a pro, and feel like a wizard of isolated development. Say goodbye to UI hiccups, and hello to seamless coding bliss! ✨
StoryBook link- https://storybook.sparrowapp.dev
🐞 Squashed Bugs:
We kicked off the New Year with a bug-hunting party. Now Sparrow is smoother than a freshly buttered pancake. 🥞
- Importing cURL commands for image APIs isn't supported.
- When a saved GraphQL query is opened, the existing query in the query editor may be overwritten or refreshed based on the current state of the query explorer, potentially leading to the loss of manually entered data.
- Changes made manually in the query editor may be overwritten if the user interacts with the query explorer (e.g., by checking or unchecking checkboxes).
- A white window occasionally appears during login in the web app.
- Switching between secured and unsecured WebSocket URLs may feel like a bumpy sleigh ride.
- The header count changes when navigating between different sections
⚠️ Known Issues:
Here’s what we’re still tweaking—because perfection takes a little extra sparkle: ✨
- The "Open in Workspace" button occasionally takes a detour.
- Query Explorer and Editor sync issues might play a bit of hide-and-seek in GraphQL.
