What's New

What's new with SSE?

10-Nov-2025 - v2.0.0 Major Release

SSE v2.0.0 introduces significant improvements with new base classes and automatic context detection.

Package Renamed

• @sygnal/sse → @sygnal/sse-core

• Update your package.json and all import statements

New Base Classes with Automatic Context

• PageBase - Automatic Webflow page context detection

  • Access this.pageInfo with pageId, siteId, collectionId, itemSlug, etc.

  • No manual DOM queries needed

• ComponentBase - Automatic element context detection

  • Access this.element and this.context automatically

  • Component metadata pre-populated

Improved Lifecycle Methods

• onPrepare() - Synchronous setup (replaces setup())

• onLoad() - Asynchronous execution (replaces exec())

• More intuitive naming aligned with web lifecycle

Singleton Pattern for Page Access

• Components can access current page via PageBase.getCurrentPage()

• Type-safe with generic support

• Eliminates duplicate context detection

Critical Fix: RouteDispatcher Instance Persistence

• RouteDispatcher must now be created once and reused

• Prevents data loss between setup and execution phases

• See migration guide for updated pattern

Backward Compatibility

• Old IModule interface still supported for advanced use

• Recommended: Migrate to new base classes for automatic features

See the sse-template README for detailed migration examples.

29-Jun-2024

• Deployed @sygnal/sse core functionality as an NPM package, so that core SSE functionality can be updated independently of the site-specific implementations.
