We are glad to announce that we’ve been working on some huge performance improvements for App Connect.
The way App Connect always worked was that each expression on the page was parsed again and again when some data or component property was updated, then the components checked which values were changed and if they need to update.
With the new update the expressions are evaluated first and we store what kind of data they depend on. When data or component properties are updated we first check if the expression needs to be parsed again or can be skipped. When no expression of a component needed parsing we can skip many of the update logic of the component and check the next component.
Not only the component update logic is skipped, expressions are parsed a lot less. Formatters are called less because of this, so having a console.log in your custom formatter doesn’t cause millions of logs in your console. Less parsing means faster page updates.
Please download the update to see if it improves speed for you and give us feedback on any problems you encounter with the update.
