surface-ui/surface

This system is a component library and template engine for Phoenix LiveView, providing a declarative syntax for building user interfaces. It offers a comprehensive tooling suite that includes automated project initialization, code formatting, and compile-time validation of component structures. Additionally, it manages scoped CSS and JavaScript assets, while supporting dynamic component rendering and interactive documentation through a built-in catalogue.

This period focused on the Surface 0.12.0 release, introducing a major API restructuring with new component types and a declarative ~F sigil. The work included a comprehensive compiler refactoring to support scoped CSS and a modular architecture, alongside the introduction of new directives and type handlers. The update also addressed breaking changes, dependency upgrades, and deprecations to align with Phoenix LiveView 1.0.

This period focused on enhancing the Surface framework's developer experience through improved project scaffolding and static analysis. The `surface.init` task was expanded to support Phoenix 1.7 and Tailwind CSS, while a new compile-time validation module was introduced to catch component errors early. Comprehensive test coverage was added for both the initialization patchers and the new validation logic.
