This allows responses to be sent to the client even when data is only
partially read, significantly improving the experience for the client
from one with a "connection closed" error to one with a proper response.
The consequence is a lifetime in 'Data'.
Though other non-lifetime-introducing solutions exist, the introduction
of a lifetime to 'Data' is a longstanding desire as it prevents
smuggling 'Data' into a longer-lived context. Use of 'Data' in that
context was unspecified with various runtime consequences. The addition
of a lifetime bound by the request prevents this error statically.
In summary, the changes are:
* Clients receive responses even when data isn't fully read.
* 'Data' becomes 'Data<'r>'. 'FromData' changes accordingly.
* Route 'Outcome's are strictly tied to the request lifetime.
Tangentially, the invalid length form field validation error message has
improved to format length in byte units if it exceeds 1024.
This resolves syntax ambiguity issues with public typed-stream macros.
Prior to this commit, greedy single-token matching by macro-rules macros
would result in certain tokens at the beginning of the macro input, such
as 'for', inadvertently triggering a '$ty' matching case resulting in
incorrect expansion.
This commit entirely rewrites Rocket's URI parsing routines and
overhauls the 'uri!' macro resolving all known issues and removing any
potential limitations for compile-time URI creation. This commit:
* Introduces a new 'Reference' URI variant for URI-references.
* Modifies 'Redirect' to accept 'TryFrom<Reference>'.
* Introduces a new 'Asterisk' URI variant for parity.
* Allows creation of any URI type from a string literal via 'uri!'.
* Enables dynamic/static prefixing/suffixing of route URIs in 'uri!'.
* Unifies 'Segments' and 'QuerySegments' into one generic 'Segments'.
* Consolidates URI formatting types/traits into a 'uri::fmt' module.
* Makes APIs more symmetric across URI types.
It also includes the following less-relevant changes:
* Implements 'FromParam' for a single-segment 'PathBuf'.
* Adds 'FileName::is_safe()'.
* No longer reparses upstream request URIs.

This removes the export of each of these macros from the root, limiting
their export-scope to their respective module. This is accomplished
using a new internal macro, 'export!', which does some "magic" to work
around rustdoc deficiencies.
Changes codegen to use an instance method on the route proxy struct
rather than implementing a trait on the proxy struct. This helps rustc
identify unused routes.
Resolves#1598.
This commit includes changes that improve how and what Rocket logs
automatically. Rocket now logs:
* All guard errors, indicating the failing guard kind and type.
* A warning when a 'TempFile' is used as a data guard for a request
that specifies a 'form' Content-Type.
* Only the top/sub of a request's format.
This commit makes the following breaking changes:
* '<T as FromData>::Error' must implement 'Debug'.
Furthermore, this commit restores the previous behavior of always
logging launch info. It further restores the unspecified behavior of
modifying logging state only when the set logger is Rocket's logger.
Sentinels resolve a long-standing usability and functional correctness
issue in Rocket: starting an application with guards and/or responders
that depend on state that isn't available. The canonical example is the
'State' guard. Prior to this commit, an application with routes that
queried unmanaged state via 'State' would fail at runtime. With this
commit, the application refuses to launch with a detailed error message.
The 'Sentinel' docs explains it as:
A sentinel, automatically run on ignition, can trigger a launch
abort should an instance fail to meet arbitrary conditions. Every
type that appears in a mounted route's type signature is eligible to
be a sentinel. Of these, those that implement 'Sentinel' have their
'abort()' method invoked automatically, immediately after ignition,
once for each unique type. Sentinels inspect the finalized instance
of 'Rocket' and can trigger a launch abort by returning 'true'.
The following types are now sentinels:
* 'contrib::databases::Connection' (any '#[database]' type)
* 'contrib::templates::Metadata'
* 'contrib::templates::Template'
* 'core::State'
The following are "specialized" sentinels, which allow sentinel
discovery even through type aliases:
* 'Option<T>', 'Debug<T>' if 'T: Sentinel'
* 'Result<T, E>', 'Either<T, E>' if 'T: Sentinel', 'E: Sentinel'
Closes#464.
The core 'Rocket' type is parameterized: 'Rocket<P: Phase>', where
'Phase' is a newly introduced, sealed marker trait. The trait is
implemented by three new marker types representing the three launch
phases: 'Build', 'Ignite', and 'Orbit'. Progression through these three
phases, in order, is enforced, as are the invariants guaranteed by each
phase. In particular, an instance of 'Rocket' is guaranteed to be in its
final configuration after the 'Build' phase and represent a running
local or public server in the 'Orbit' phase. The 'Ignite' phase serves
as an intermediate, enabling inspection of a finalized but stationary
instance. Transition between phases validates the invariants required
by the transition.
All APIs have been adjusted appropriately, requiring either an instance
of 'Rocket' in a particular phase ('Rocket<Build>', 'Rocket<Ignite>', or
'Rocket<Orbit>') or operating generically on a 'Rocket<P>'.
Documentation is also updated and substantially improved to mention
required and guaranteed invariants.
Additionally, this commit makes the following relevant changes:
* 'Rocket::ignite()' is now a public interface.
* 'Rocket::{build,custom}' methods can no longer panic.
* 'Launch' fairings are now 'ignite' fairings.
* 'Liftoff' fairings are always run, even in local mode.
* All 'ignite' fairings run concurrently at ignition.
* Launch logging occurs on launch, not any point prior.
* Launch log messages have improved formatting.
* A new launch error kind, 'Config', was added.
* A 'fairing::Result' type alias was introduced.
* 'Shutdown::shutdown()' is now 'Shutdown::notify()'.
Some internal changes were also introduced:
* Fairing 'Info' name for 'Templates' is now 'Templating'.
* Shutdown is implemented using 'tokio::sync::Notify'.
* 'Client::debug()' is used nearly universally in tests.
Resolves#1154.
Resolves#1136.
...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.
In particular, 'FromFormField' and 'UriDisplayQuery' now allow any
number of form 'field' attributes. For the former, multiple 'value's are
allowed, all of which are used to match against incoming fields - any
match wins. For the latter, multiple 'name' and 'value's are allowed;
the first of each is used to render the query value.
Additionally, 'UriDisplayQuery' can now be derived for C-like enums.
This brings the derive to parity with 'FromFormValue' and allows their
unified application on C-like enums.
Resolves#843.
* Add a `msg!()` macro to easily change a field validation message.
* Allow a field to refer to itself via `self.field`.
* Improve the various field validation traits.
This commit completely revamps the way that codegen handles route URI
"parameters". The changes are largely internal. In summary, codegen code
is better organized, better written, and less subject to error.
There are three breaking changes:
* `path` is now `uri` in `route` attribute: `#[route(GET, path = "..")]`
becomes `#[route(GET, uri = "..")]`.
* the order of execution for path and query guards relative to
each-other is now unspecified
* URI normalization now normalizes the query part as well.
Several error messages were improved. A couple of bugs were fixed:
* Prior to this commit, Rocket would optimistically try to parse every
segment of a URI as an ident, in case one was needed in the future.
A bug in rustc results in codegen "panicking" if the segment
couldn't _lex_ as an ident. This panic didn't manifest until far
after expansion, unfortunately. This wasn't a problem before as we
only allowed ident-like segments (ASCII), but now that we allow any
UTF-8, the bug surfaced. This was fixed by never attempting to parse
non-idents as idents.
* Prior to this commit, it was impossible to generate typed URIs for
paths that ignored path parameters via the recently added syntax
`<_>`: the macro would panic. This was fixed by, well, handling
these ignored parameters.
Some minor additions:
* Added `RawStr::find()`, expanding its `Pattern`-based API.
* Added an internal mechanism to dynamically determine if a `UriPart`
is `Path` or `Query`.
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.
Prior to this commit, the conversion 'T -> Option<T>' was applied in
both the path and query parts of a URI in the 'uri' macro via the
'FromUriParam' trait with no implementation for 'Option<T>' directly.
This meant that it was impossible to directly render an 'Option<T>'.
This was exactly desired for the path part, where rendering a 'None'
would yield an incorrect URI, but the restriction was too strict for the
query part, where a 'None' is entirely valid. This commit makes changes
the conversion so that it only applied to path parts and adds the
identity conversions for 'Option<T>' and 'Result<T, E>' for query parts.
The side effect is a breaking change: due to conflicting impls, the 'T'
to 'Option<T>' conversion was removed for query parts. Thus, all 'uri!'
query route arguments of type 'Option' or 'Result' must now be wrapped
in 'Some' or 'Ok'. Due to new 'Option<T> <-> Result<T, E>' conversions,
either 'Some' _and_ 'Ok' work in both contexts.
Closes#1420.
Prior to this commit, it was impossible to 'use' a route from a separate
namespace for use in a 'routes!' macro. Naturally, this was a common
source of confusion amongst users. This commit obviates this deficiency
by generating a "proxy" structure that can be imported and converted
into a 'Route'/'Catcher' or their static variants.
This change is largely backwards compatible but can break existing code
when routes are named identically to other types in the namespace.
The bulk of the changes in this commit are for creating an
'ErrorHandler' trait that works like the 'Handler' trait, but for
errors. Furthermore, Rocket's default catcher now responds with a JSON
payload if the preferred 'Accept' media type is JSON.
This commit also fixes a bug in 'LocalRequest' where the internal
'Request' contained an correct 'URI'.
This commit aims to make it impossible to modify a 'Route' structure in
a way that violates expectations of a code-generated 'Route'. It removes
'Route::set_uri()' in favor of 'Route::map_base()', which allows for
safe modifications of the route's base.
In a similar vain, this commit also includes the following changes:
* 'Route::path()' was added to safely retrieve the route's 'path'.
* The base of a 'Route' is underlined during launch printing.
* 'Origin::into_normalized()' replaces 'Origin::to_normalized()'.
Fixes#1262.
This commits makes the following high-level changes:
* 'ShutdownHandle' is renamed to 'Shutdown'.
* 'Rocket::shutdown_handle()' is renamed to 'Rocket::shutdown()'.
* '#[launch]` is preferred to '#[rocket::launch]'.
* Various docs phrasings are improved.
* Fixed various broken links in docs.
This commits rearranges top-level exports as follows:
* 'shutdown' module is no longer exported.
* 'Shutdown' is exported from the crate root.
* 'Outcome' is not longer exported from the root.
* 'Handler', 'ErrorHandler' are no longer exported from the root.
Prior to this commit, codegen used 'Span' information to generate a
unique id for a given route. This commit changes the id generation to
instead use 1) the route's name and path, 2) a an per-generation
atomically increasing ID, and 3) the ids of the process/thread the
proc-macro is running in. Together, these values should provide a unique
id for a given route, even in the face of the reused processes and
threads, while also removing the dependence on unstable Span features.
Fixes#1373.
This is largely an internal change. Prior to this commit, the 'Manifest'
type, now replaced with the 'Cargo' type, robbed responsibility from the
core 'Rocket' type. This new construction restores the previous
responsibility and makes it clear that 'Cargo' is _only_ for freezing,
and representing the stability of, Rocket's internal state.
In summary, this commit modifies 'Responder' so that:
* ..it is no longer 'async'. To accommodate, the 'sized_body' methods
in 'Response' and 'ResponseBuilder' are no longer 'async' and accept
an optional size directly. If none is supplied, Rocket will attempt
to compute the size, by seeking, before writing out the response.
The 'Body' type was also changed to differentiate between its sized
'Seek' and chunked body variants.
* ..'&Request' gains a lifetime: 'r, and the returned 'Response' is
parameterized by a new 'o: 'r. This allows responders to return
references from the request or those that live longer.
The attribute is applied everywhere it can be across the codebase and is
the newly preferred method for launching an application. This commit
also makes '#[rocket::main]` stricter by warning when it is applied to
functions other than 'main'.
Prior to this commit, codegen emitted tokens containing bare types like
'Result' and 'Box' as well as presumed imported variants such as 'None'
and 'Ok'. However, users are free to shadow these, and if they do, the
generated code will fail to compile, or worse, be incorrect. To avoid
this, this commit makes all references to these core types and imports
absolute.
Also:
* Remove 'response::ResultFuture'.
* Re-export 'tokio' and 'futures' from the crate root.
* Make 'ResponseBuilder::sized_body()' and 'async fn'.
* Remove the 'Future' implementation for 'ResponseBuilder'.
* Add 'ResponseBuilder::finalize()' for finalizing the builder.
In order to avoid making 'ResponseBuilder::sized_body' an asynchronous
function, the seeking is deferred until finalization. 'finalize()' is
replaced with '.await', and 'ResponseBuilder::ok()' is an 'async fn'.
* body_string_wait and body_bytes_wait are removed; use `.await` instead
* `dispatch()` is now an async fn and must be .await-ed
* Add `#[rocket::async_test]` macro, similar in purpose to `tokio::test`
* Tests now use either `rocket::async_test(async { })` or
`#[rocket::async_test]` in order to `.await` the futures returned
from `dispatch()` and `body_{string,bytes}()`
* Update 'test.sh' to reflect the tests that should be passing.
Broken:
* Cloned dispatch and mut_dispatch() with a live previous response now both fail, due to a (partial) check for mutable aliasing in LocalRequest.
* Some tests are still failing and need example-specific changes.
This is required to be able to do anything useful with the body in the
outgoing response. Request fairings do not appear to need to be async
as everything on Data that returns a future moves self and on_request only
gets &Data, but the same change in this commit should work for on_request
if desired.
Every code example is now fully runnable and testable. As a result, all
examples are now tested and include imports. Relevant imports are shown
by default. Code examples can be expanded to show all imports.
Fixes#432.
