This follows the completed graduation of stable contrib features into
core, removing 'rocket_contrib' in its entirety in favor of two new
crates. These crates are versioned independently of Rocket's core
libraries, allowing upgrades to dependencies without consideration for
versions in core libraries.
'rocket_dyn_templates' replaces the contrib 'templates' features. While
largely a 1-to-1 copy, it makes the following changes:
* the 'tera_templates' feature is now 'tera'
* the 'handlebars_templates' feature is now 'handlebars'
* fails to compile if neither 'tera' nor 'handlebars' is enabled
'rocket_sync_db_pools' replaces the contrib 'database' features. It
makes no changes to the replaced features except that the `database`
attribute is properly documented at the crate root.
...because loading up a Rocket while it's ignited is a bad idea.
More seriously, because 'Rocket.ignite()' will become an "execute
everything up to here" method.
The new examples directory...
* Contains a `README.md` explaining each example.
* Consolidates examples into more complete chunks.
* Is just better.
Resolves#1447.
So. Many. Changes.
This is an insane commit: simultaneously one of the best (because of all
the wonderful improvements!) and one of the worst (because it is just
massive) in the project's history.
Routing:
* All UTF-8 characters are accepted everywhere in route paths. (#998)
* `path` is now `uri` in `route` attribute: `#[route(GET, path = "..")]`
becomes `#[route(GET, uri = "..")]`.
Forms Revamp
* All form related types now reside in a new `form` module.
* Multipart forms are supported. (resolves#106)
* Collections are supported in forms and queries. (resolves#205)
* Nested structures in forms and queries are supported. (resolves#313)
* Form fields can be ad-hoc validated with `#[field(validate = expr)]`.
* `FromFormValue` is now `FromFormField`, blanket implements `FromForm`.
* Form field values are always percent-decoded apriori.
Temporary Files
* A new `TempFile` data and form guard allows streaming data directly to a
file which can then be persisted.
* A new `temp_dir` config parameter specifies where to store `TempFile`.
* The limits `file` and `file/$ext`, where `$ext` is the file extension,
determines the data limit for a `TempFile`.
Capped
* A new `Capped` type is used to indicate when data has been truncated due to
incoming data limits. It allows checking whether data is complete or
truncated.
* `DataStream` methods return `Capped` types.
* `DataStream` API has been revamped to account for `Capped` types.
* Several `Capped<T>` types implement `FromData`, `FromForm`.
* HTTP 413 (Payload Too Large) errors are now returned when data limits are
exceeded. (resolves#972)
Hierarchical Limits
* Data limits are now hierarchical, delimited with `/`. A limit of `a/b/c`
falls back to `a/b` then `a`.
Core
* `&RawStr` no longer implements `FromParam`.
* `&str` implements `FromParam`, `FromData`, `FromForm`.
* `FromTransformedData` was removed.
* `FromData` gained a lifetime for use with request-local data.
* The default error HTML is more compact.
* `&Config` is a request guard.
* The `DataStream` interface was entirely revamped.
* `State` is only exported via `rocket::State`.
* A `request::local_cache!()` macro was added for storing values in
request-local cache without consideration for type uniqueness by using a
locally generated anonymous type.
* `Request::get_param()` is now `Request::param()`.
* `Request::get_segments()` is now `Request::segments()`, takes a range.
* `Request::get_query_value()` is now `Request::query_value()`, can parse any
`FromForm` including sequences.
* `std::io::Error` implements `Responder` like `Debug<std::io::Error>`.
* `(Status, R)` where `R: Responder` implements `Responder` by overriding the
`Status` of `R`.
* The name of a route is printed first during route matching.
* `FlashMessage` now only has one lifetime generic.
HTTP
* `RawStr` implements `serde::{Serialize, Deserialize}`.
* `RawStr` implements _many_ more methods, in particular, those related to the
`Pattern` API.
* `RawStr::from_str()` is now `RawStr::new()`.
* `RawStr::url_decode()` and `RawStr::url_decode_lossy()` only allocate as
necessary, return `Cow`.
* `Status` implements `Default` with `Status::Ok`.
* `Status` implements `PartialEq`, `Eq`, `Hash`, `PartialOrd`, `Ord`.
* Authority and origin part of `Absolute` can be modified with new
`Absolute::{with,set}_authority()`, `Absolute::{with,set}_origin()` methods.
* `Origin::segments()` was removed in favor of methods split into query and
path parts and into raw and decoded versions.
* The `Segments` iterator is smarter, returns decoded `&str` items.
* `Segments::into_path_buf()` is now `Segments::to_path_buf()`.
* A new `QuerySegments` is the analogous query segment iterator.
* Once set, `expires` on private cookies is not overwritten. (resolves#1506)
* `Origin::path()` and `Origin::query()` return `&RawStr`, not `&str`.
Codegen
* Preserve more spans in `uri!` macro.
* Preserve spans `FromForm` field types.
* All dynamic parameters in a query string must typecheck as `FromForm`.
* `FromFormValue` derive removed; `FromFormField` added.
* The `form` `FromForm` and `FromFormField` field attribute is now named
`field`. `#[form(field = ..)]` is now `#[field(name = ..)]`.
Contrib
* `Json` implements `FromForm`.
* `MsgPack` implements `FromForm`.
* The `json!` macro is exported as `rocket_contrib::json::json!`.
* Added clarifying docs to `StaticFiles`.
Examples
* `form_validation` and `form_kitchen_sink` removed in favor of `forms`.
* The `hello_world` example uses unicode in paths.
* The `json` example only allocates as necessary.
Internal
* Codegen uses new `exports` module with the following conventions:
- Locals starts with `__` and are lowercased.
- Rocket modules start with `_` and are lowercased.
- `std` types start with `_` and are titlecased.
- Rocket types are titlecased.
* A `header` module was added to `http`, contains header types.
* `SAFETY` is used as doc-string keyword for `unsafe` related comments.
* The `Uri` parser no longer recognizes Rocket route URIs.
Sessions
--------
This commit removes the `Session` type in favor of methods on the
`Cookies` types that allow for adding, removing, and getting private
(signed and encrypted) cookies. These methods provide a superset of
the functionality of `Session` while also being a minimal addition to
the existing API. They can be used to implement the previous `Session`
type as well as other forms of session storage. The new methods are:
* Cookie::add_private(&mut self, Cookie)
* Cookie::remove_private(&mut self, Cookie)
* Cookie::get_private(&self, &str)
Resolves#20
Testing
-------
This commit removes the `rocket::testing` module. It adds the
`rocket::local` module which provides a `Client` type for local
dispatching of requests against a `Rocket` instance. This `local`
package subsumes the previous `testing` package.
Rocket Examples
---------------
The `forms`, `optional_result`, and `hello_alt_methods` examples have
been removed. The following example have been renamed:
* extended_validation -> form_validation
* hello_ranks -> ranking
* from_request -> request_guard
* hello_tls -> tls
Other Changes
-------------
This commit also includes the following smaller changes:
* Config::{development, staging, production} constructors have been
added for easier creation of default `Config` structures.
* The `Config` type is exported from the root.
* `Request` implements `Clone` and `Debug`.
* `Request::new` is no longer exported.
* A `Response::body_bytes` method was added to easily retrieve a
response's body as a `Vec<u8>`.
This is a breaking change.
This commit introduces `RawStr` to forms. In particular, after this
commit, the `&str` type no longer implements `FromFormValue`, and so it
cannot be used as a field in forms. Instad, the `&RawStr` can be used.
The `FormItems` iterator now returns an `(&RawStr, &RawStr)` pair.
This is a (minor) breaking change. If `rocket.launch()` is the last expression
in a function, the return type will change from `()` to `LaunchError`. A simple
workaround that preserves the previous functionality is to simply add a
semicolon after `launch()`: `rocket.launch();`.
resolves#34
This commit includes the following important API changes:
* The `form` route parameter has been removed.
* The `data` route parameter has been added.
* Forms are not handled via the `data` parameter and `Form` type.
* Removed the `data` parameter from `Request`.
* Added `FromData` conversion trate and default implementation.
* Added `DataOutcome` enum, which is the return type of `from_data`.
* 'FromData' is now used to automatically derive the `data` parameter.
* Moved `form` into `request` module.
* Removed `Failure::new` in favor of direct value construction.
This commit includes the following important package additions:
* Added a 'raw_upload' example.
* `manual_routes` example uses `Data` parameter.
* Now building and running tests with `--all-features` flag.
* All exmaples have been updated to latest API.
* Now using upstream Tera.
This commit includes the following important fixes:
* Any valid ident is now allowed in single-parameter route parameters.
* Lifetimes are now properly stripped in code generation.
* `FromForm` derive now works on empty structs.
Here's the idea: under the `Rocket` namespace should live things critical to
writing simple Rocket apps: Request, Response, Error, etc. Nothing should be
nested more than one level deep. Only items required for more complex things
(implementing uncommon traits, etc.) should be nested one level deep.
This commit is the first attempt at realizing this.
There's something going on with Hyper. When a 303 (see other) response is sent
in response to a POST, the browser does a GET to the location header. Hyper
somehow misreads the method parameter here, resulting in a route failer.
I need to MITM the connection to see exactly what the browser is sending and
what Hyper is receiving to see who's wrong.
