Release Notes

Deprecated: overlay_component

rx.App.overlay_component is deprecated. You can use rx.App.extra_app_wraps instead.

For example, if you had:

rx.App(overlay_component=rx.box(rx.text("Overlay Component")))

You can instead do:

app = rx.App(
    extra_app_wraps={
        (1, "Overlay Component"): lambda _: rx.box(rx.text("Overlay Component"))
    }
)

The (1, "Overlay Component") defines the nestedness and an ID of the Component. The higher the number the higher it is. For example, if ComponentA had nestedness of 1, and ComponentB had a nestedness of 2, then the output is going to be roughly:

<ComponentB>
  ...
  <ComponentA>...</ComponentA>
<ComponentB>

Get client ip from X-FORWARDED-FOR header if present

If you were running a your reflex app behind a proxy, this should improve the usefulness of this field.

Enable SitemapPlugin by default

We will enable SitemapPlugin by default for apps that do not specify them in the plugins field. If you want to explicitly enable it, add it to plugins:

rx.Config(
    ...,
    plugins=[rx.plugins.sitemap.SitemapPlugin()],
)

Or if you would like to disable it:

rx.Config(
    disable_plugins=[
        "reflex.plugins.sitemap.SitemapPlugin",
    ]
)

The disable_plugins takes a list of strings representing the fully qualified (module + class name) name of the plugins.

• enable sitemap plugin by default by @adhami3310 in enable sitemap plugin by default #5558

Frontend is public to network by default

Previously, the backend was exposed to local network (0.0.0.0) but frontend wasn't (127.0.0.1). Now frontend matches the backend. We will add an option to change this later (both frontend and backend).

• add --host to react router by @adhami3310 in add --host to react router #5554

rx.Config is now a dataclass

If you were inheriting from rx.Config (for some reason?) you might want to update your code. This provides nicer type hints and might warn you about wrong fields.

• move rx config away from pydantic by @adhami3310 in move rx config away from pydantic #5557

Misc

• Remove rx.logo from blank template by @Lendemor in Remove rx.logo from blank template #5552
