Hey everyone 👋
First of all, I want to welcome Paul to the team. He's going to be hands-on with development going forward 💪

This is an exciting release 🥳 The changes brought on by v2.12 enable developers to craft richer experiences, so let's dive in!
1. Use custom fields inside resource tools
https://docs.avohq.io/2.0/resource-to...
2. Use custom resource for has_many
https://docs.avohq.io/2.0/association...
3. Add discreet_pagination option
https://docs.avohq.io/2.0/association...
4. Move resource controls to the left side
https://docs.avohq.io/2.0/association...
5. Hide sidebar on desktop
6. Add path helpers on actions
7. Bugfixes and improvements:
date and date_time can be cleared
date field does not take the offset into account
has_one field outputs all the associations
too many tabs flow out of the screen
heading fields not showing inside panels
tools cant come before fields
key value field shows "null" string instead of nothing
Trix input name broken for some resource names
authorization actions broke for some associations
overridden data attributes should take precedence
footer form buttons in the wrong place
some links think they are external when they are not
added avo_debug param
init script builds the assets
menu show/hide action is animated
changed the turbo frame failed to load state
Told you! It's a big one, but exciting. I can't wait to see what you'll build next using the new tools.
Next, we'll focus on finishing up the customizable resource controls (which I demo in the video) and improving the general stability of the framework.
There are 11 "Good first issues" ready to pick up if you have some spare time to improve your favorite platform.
