v0.4.1

New Features

This release introduces several new features, improvements, and internal changes.

🐍 Post-Scripts Support with Python

Chapar now supports post-request scripts written in Python! For example:

import chapar

print("print test")
print("content-type", request.headers['Content-Type'])

def on_response(response):
    if response.status_code == 200:
        chapar.set_env('Stage_token', response.json()['Token'])
    else:
        print('Error:', response.text, response.status_code)

chapar.on_response = on_response

This allows users to define custom logic to run after a request completes. In this first version, Chapar runs scripts inside an isolated Docker environment. You’ll need to enable scripting before using this feature.

More scripting capabilities and APIs will be added in future releases.

⚙️ Settings Page

By popular demand, Chapar now has a Settings page!
Many users asked for the ability to store their data in a custom location. That led to a refactor of how Chapar manages data and configuration files.

With the new settings page, you can:

• Change the data storage location
• Customize editor preferences
• Adjust general application settings

---

🖥️ Console Section

A new Console section has been added to the bottom of the application.
It displays:

• Application logs
• Output from print() statements in your scripts

This makes debugging and visibility much easier.

---

🔔 Notifications

Chapar now includes a Notifications section in the footer.
It shows important messages such as:

• When the scripting server starts
• Errors or events that need your attention

Note: This feature is still limited but will be expanded in future updates.
