New Features v7 - nodeGame/nodegame GitHub Wiki

status: complete
version: 7.x

Main New features in nodeGame 7.x

Conditional game sequences: game sequence is decided by the game room, allowing different sequences in different treatments. For example:
```
// Skip
stager.step('control');
if (treatmentName === 'XYZ') stager.step('treatment');
stager.step('survey');
```
Authorization mode "external": for ids provided by a third party upon connection.
Waiting room features: new treatment mode treatment_latin_square and new option "EXTERNAL_DISPATCH" to dispatch participants to a third-party server.
Improved memory database: new database method to save data and operations automatically: stream, journal. Support for loading and exporting entire directories and for the NDJSON format.
Updated design for survey widgets: rounded corners and more space around choices and questions, while keeping the elegant black-and-white style.
Widgets improvements: several improvements and three new widgets: Consent, SDO (Social Dominance Orientation), and GroupMalleability.
Server improvements: several fixes and improvements, among which:
- GameRoom API computeBonus offers new options, including a "Prolific" export.
- Improved logging output.
New stager methods: to split step definitions across different files and share variables with them: require, share.
Overhauled monitor interface: improved design and new "Export" features: export logs, and free selection with tree-view of data from game room.
Miscellaneous:
- Partial support for Bootstrap 5.
