@iamjohndaniels Bro you had a good SE to cover your back

[Directus 🐰 @directus]

Most backends are built for developers.
But the rest of the team is building, too.

Directus v12 is out today. A major upgrade built around one idea: the whole team should be able to work on the same backend without getting in each other's way.

Here's what shipped:

An improved content editing experience. Native draft and publishing workflows built into the core.

AI-assisted translations. Scale across languages with schema scaffolding handled for you.

Granular access control for AI. Agents act on behalf of real users with the right permissions applied.

Oh...and we launched a new website (what up .com!), clarified our license with the new Open Innovation Grant, and completely revamped our documentation today too.

@davis7 @Railway Any gotchas with the Sveltekit Bun adapter?

[Alex van der Valk @AlexvdValk]

@davis7 @Railway You can also set your apps to sleep when there's no traffic. Pretty neat stuff

Have you seen our new Visual Editing feature in action?

Check out this in-depth walkthrough from yesterday's Changelog!

(BTW - you don't need an "enterprise plan" to unlock this feature 😉)

[Alex van der Valk @AlexvdValk]

@joyofcodedev Will it run on the server or client? Or both?

[OpenAlternative @ossalternative]

@joyofcodedev So the typing is a good benefit. if you're using slot props (the let: keyword) you need to make sure your slot content is wrapped in a:

<Child>
{#snippet children( {your slot props})
your content
{/snippet}
</Child>
