- Use modern tooling uv and bun - Various changes to work with latest PyAV and PIL that have changed their API - Improved image, video and document previews (uses AVIF, renders AVIF/HEIC/videos in HDR, faster processing) - Fix a server hang in some cases where a folder was moved or renamed - Log exceptions instead of only returning 500 response to client - Log timing of preview generation functions - Default to quality 50 in previews (previously 40)
Cista Vue Frontend
The frontend is a Single-Page App implemented with Vue 3. Development uses the Vite server together with the main Python backend, but in production the latter also serves the prebuilt frontend files.
Recommended IDE Setup
VSCode + Volar (and disable Vetur) + TypeScript Vue Plugin (Volar).
Type Support for .vue Imports in TS
TypeScript cannot handle type information for .vue imports by default, so we replace the tsc CLI with vue-tsc for type checking. In editors, we need TypeScript Vue Plugin (Volar) to make the TypeScript language service aware of .vue types.
If the standalone TypeScript plugin doesn't feel fast enough to you, Volar has also implemented a Take Over Mode that is more performant. You can enable it by the following steps:
- Disable the built-in TypeScript Extension
- Run
Extensions: Show Built-in Extensionsfrom VSCode's command palette - Find
TypeScript and JavaScript Language Features, right click and selectDisable (Workspace)
- Run
- Reload the VSCode window by running
Developer: Reload Windowfrom the command palette.
Hot-Reload for Development
Run the backend
uv sync --dev
uv run cista --dev -l :8000
And the Vite server (in another terminal)
cd frontend
bun install
bun run dev
Browse to Vite, which will proxy API requests to port 8000. Both servers live reload changes.
Type-Check, Compile and Minify for Production
This is also called by uv build during Python packaging:
bun run build
