CHANGELOG.md

Changelog

Unreleased

• Add fallback behavior. loco-rs#732
• Add Scheduler Feature for Running Cron Jobs. loco-rs#735
• Add --html, --htmx and --api flags to scaffold CLI command. loco-rs#749
• Add base template for scaffold generation. loco-rs#752
• Connect Redis only when the worker is BackgroundQueue. loco-rs#755

v0.8.1

• fix: introduce secondary binary for compile-and-run on Windows. loco-rs#727

v0.8.0

• Added: loco-cli (loco new) now receives options from CLI and/or interactively asks for configuration options such as which asset pipeline, background worker type, or database provider to use.
• Fix: custom queue names now merge with default queues.
• Added remote_ip middleware for resolving client remote IP when under a proxy or loadbalancer, similar to the Rails remote_ip middleware.
• Added secure_headers middleware for setting secure headers by default, similar to how https://github.com/github/secure_headers works. This is now ON by default to promote security-by-default.
• Added: money, blob types to entitie generator.

0.7.0

• Moving to timezone aware timestamps. From now on migrations will generate timestamps with time zone by default. Moving to TZ aware timestamps in combination with newly revamped timestamp code generation in SeaORM v1.0.0 finally allows for seamlessly moving between using sqlite and postgres with minimal or no entities code changes (resolved this long standing issue). TZ aware timestamps also aligns us with how Rails works today (initially Rails had a no-tz timestamps, and today the default is to use timestamps). If not specified the TZ is the server TZ, which is usually UTC, therefore semantically this is almost like a no-tz timestamp.

A few highlights:

Generated entities will now always use DateTimeWithTimeZone for the default timestamp fields:

...
Generating users.rs
    > Column `created_at`: DateTimeWithTimeZone, not_null
    > Column `updated_at`: DateTimeWithTimeZone, not_null
...

For better cross database provider compatibility, from now on prefer the tstz type instead of just ts when using generators (i.e. cargo loco generate model movie released:tstz)

• remove eyer lib. loco-rs#650

  Breaking Changes:

  1. Update the Main Function in src/bin/main

  Replace the return type of the main function:
  
  **Before:**
  ```rust
  async fn main() -> eyre::Result<()>
  ```
  
  **After:**
  ```rust
  async fn main() -> loco_rs::Result<()>
  ```
  

  2. Modify examples/playground.rs You need to apply two changes here:

     a. Update the Function Signature Before:

     async fn main() -> eyre::Result<()>

     After:

     async fn main() -> loco_rs::Result<()>

     b. Adjust the Context Handling Before:

     let _ctx = playground::<App>().await.context("playground")?;

     After:

     let _ctx = playground::<App>().await?;

  Note, If you are using eyre in your project, you can continue to do so. We have only removed this crate from our base code dependencies.

  • Replaced model::query::dsl:: with model::query.
  • Replaced model::query::exec::paginate with model::query::paginate.
  • Updated the PaginatedResponse struct. Refer to its usage example here.
• Breaking changes When introducing the Cache system which is much more flexible than having just Redis, we now call the 'redis' member simply a 'queue' which indicates it should be used only for the internal queue and not as a general purpose cache. In the application configuration setting redis, change to queue. loco-rs#590

# before:
redis:
# after:
queue:

• Breaking changes We have made a few parts of the context pluggable, such as the storage and new cache subsystems, this is why we decided to let you configure the context entirely before starting up your app. As a result, if you have a storage building hook code it should move to after_context, see example here. loco-rs#570

v0.4.0

• Refactored model validation for better developer experience. Added a few traits and structs to loco::prelude for a smoother import story. Introducing Validatable:

impl Validatable for super::_entities::users::ActiveModel {
    fn validator(&self) -> Box<dyn Validate> {
        Box::new(Validator {
            name: self.name.as_ref().to_owned(),
            email: self.email.as_ref().to_owned(),
        })
    }
}

// now you can call `user.validate()` freely

• Refactored type field mapping to be centralized. Now model, scaffold share the same field mapping, so no more gaps like loco-rs#513 (e.g. when calling loco generate model title:string the ability to map string into something useful in the code generation side) NOTE the _integer class of types are now just _int, e.g. big_int, so that it correlate with the int field name in a better way

• Adding to to quiery dsl is_in and is_not_in. loco-rs#507

• Added: in your configuration you can now use an initializers: section for initializer specific settings

  # Initializers Configuration
  initializers:
  # oauth2:
  #   authorization_code: # Authorization code grant type
  #     - client_identifier: google # Identifier for the OAuth2 provider. Replace 'google' with your provider's name if different, must be unique within the oauth2 config.
  #       ... other fields

• Docs: fix schema data types mapping. loco-rs#506

• Let Result accept other errors. loco-rs#505

• Allow trailing slashes in URIs by adding the NormalizePathLayer. loco-rs#481

• BREAKING Move from Result<impl IntoResponse> to Result<Response>. This enables much greater flexibility building APIs, where with Result<Response> you mix and match response types based on custom logic (returning JSON and HTML/String in the same route).

• Added: mime responders similar to respond_to in Rails:

1. Use the Format extractor
2. Match on respond_to
3. Create different content for different response formats

The following route will always return JSON, unless explicitly asked for HTML with a Content-Type: text/html (or Accept: ) header:

pub async fn get_one(
    Format(respond_to): Format,
    Path(id): Path<i32>,
    State(ctx): State<AppContext>,
) -> Result<Response> {
    let item = load_item(&ctx, id).await?;
    match respond_to {
        RespondTo::Html => format::html(&format!("<html><body>{:?}</body></html>", item.title)),
        _ => format::json(item),
    }
}

impl Hooks for App {
    ...
    async fn boot(mode: StartMode, environment: &Environment) -> Result<BootResult> {
        create_app::<Self>(mode, environment).await
    }
    ...

• Added: setting cookies:

format::render()
    .cookies(&[
        cookie::Cookie::new("foo", "bar"),
        cookie::Cookie::new("baz", "qux"),
    ])?
    .etag("foobar")?
    .json(notes)

v0.1.9

• Adding pagination on Models. loco-rs#238
• Adding compression middleware. loco-rs#205 Added support for compression middleware. usage:

middlewares:
  compression:
    enable: true

• Create a new Database from the CLI. loco-rs#223
• Validate if seaorm CLI is installed before running cargo loco db entities and show a better error to the user. loco-rs#212
• Adding to saas and rest-api` starters a redis and DB in GitHub action workflow to allow users work with github action out of the box. loco-rs#215

#...
  middlewares:
    etag:
      enable: true

usage:

  format::render()
      .etag("foobar")?
      .json(Entity::find().all(&ctx.db).await?)

Authentication: Added API Token Authentication!

• See loco-rs#217 Now when you generate a saas starter or rest api starter you will get additional authentication methods for free:

• Added: authentication added -- api authentication where each user has an API token in the schema, and you can authenticate with Bearer against that user.

• Added: authentication added -- JWTWithUser extractor, which is a convenience for resolving the authenticated JWT claims into a current user from database

migrating an existing codebase

Add the following to your generated src/models/user.rs:

#[async_trait]
impl Authenticable for super::_entities::users::Model {
    async fn find_by_api_key(db: &DatabaseConnection, api_key: &str) -> ModelResult<Self> {
        let user = users::Entity::find()
            .filter(users::Column::ApiKey.eq(api_key))
            .one(db)
            .await?;
        user.ok_or_else(|| ModelError::EntityNotFound)
    }

    async fn find_by_claims_key(db: &DatabaseConnection, claims_key: &str) -> ModelResult<Self> {
        super::_entities::users::Model::find_by_pid(db, claims_key).await
    }
}

Update imports in this file to include model::Authenticable:

use loco_rs::{
    auth, hash,
    model::{Authenticable, ModelError, ModelResult},
    validation,
    validator::Validate,
};

v0.1.8

• Added: loco version for getting an operable version string containing logical crate version and git SHA if available: 0.3.0 (<git sha>)

To migrate to this behavior from earlier versions, it requires adding the following to your app.rs app hooks:

    fn app_version() -> String {
        format!(
            "{} ({})",
            env!("CARGO_PKG_VERSION"),
            option_env!("BUILD_SHA")
                .or(option_env!("GITHUB_SHA"))
                .unwrap_or("dev")
        )
    }

Reminder: loco --version will give you the current Loco framework which your app was built against and loco version gives you your app version.

• Docs: added Migration section, added relations documentation 1:M, M:M
• Adding .devcontainer to starter projects loco-rs#170
• Braking changes: Adding Hooks::boot application. Migration steps:

  // Load boot::{create_app, BootResult, StartMode} from loco_rs lib
  // Load migration: use migration::Migrator; Only when using DB
  // Adding boot hook with the following code
  impl Hooks for App {
    ...
    async fn boot(mode: StartMode, environment: &str) -> Result<BootResult> {
      // With DB:
      create_app::<Self, Migrator>(mode, environment).await
      // Without DB:
      create_app::<Self>(mode, environment).await
    }
    ...
  }
