For other changes in this release, see the product Release Notes.

Oracle JET

Documentation updates for this release of Oracle JET.

• Conditional rendering of slot content

  Children and Slot Content has been revised to recommend conditionally rendering content inside a slot, rather than conditionally rendering the slot itself, wherever possible.

• Migrating to Oracle JET Core Pack components

  Migrate Oracle JET Legacy Components to Core Pack Components has been added. It describes how to migrate Oracle JET legacy components (oj-*) to their Core Pack equivalents (oj-c-*) with the migrator that is packaged in the Oracle JET Audit Framework. This migrator can also update Selenium WebDriver test files written for apps with legacy components, so they work with Core Pack components.

• Reference documentation for test adapters

  Reference documentation for the test adapters that facilitate the testing of Oracle JET apps that use legacy and Core Pack components is now published in the Oracle JET documentation library. See Oracle JET Test Adapters Reference for Core Pack Components and Oracle JET Test Adapters Reference for Legacy Components. For information about how to perform end-to-end testing of an Oracle JET app, see Set up an environment to create UI automation tests for Oracle JET web apps.

• Develop Accessible Oracle JET Apps has been revised to remove out-of-date content, and to note that Oracle JET’s accessibility support conforms to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 at the AA level (WCAG 2.2 AA).
