Release Notes

Decentralized Event Handlers

You can define some events outside of the state they belong to. This requires using the @event decorator and typing the first (state) argument with the state it belongs to. It gets used by its name as opposed to State. format.

import reflex as rx

class State(rx.State):
    field: int = 23

@rx.event
def update_field(state: State, new_value: int):
    state.field = new_value

def index() -> rx.Component:
    return rx.vstack(
        State.field,
        rx.button(
            "Update Field",
            on_click=update_field(321),
        ),
    )

app = rx.App()
app.add_page(index)

Escape hatch: change react version

In case react version upgrade broke your packages somehow, you can use the REACT_VERSION environment flag to change it. We don't support this flag indefinitely though, and it's very much not safe to set.

Decimal support in Vars

You can now use decimal in state, but it converts it to a float when sending it to JS. Devin has contributed some of this PR before needing to intervene a bit.
