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.

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.
While offering some utility, the lifetime did not carry its weight, and
in practice offered no further ability to borrow. This greatly
simplifies request guard implementations.
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.
This commit reverts most of dea940c7 and d89c7024. The "fix" is to run
attach fairings on a new thread. If a runtime is already running, it is
used. Otherwise, the future is executed in a single-threaded executor.
This commit completely overhauls Rocket's configuration systems, basing
it on the new Figment library. It includes many breaking changes
pertaining to configuration. They are:
* "Environments" are replaced by "profiles".
* 'ROCKET_PROFILE' takes the place of 'ROCKET_ENV'.
* Profile names are now arbitrary, but 'debug' and 'release' are given
special treatment as default profiles for the debug and release
compilation profiles.
* A 'default' profile now sits along-side the meta 'global' profile.
* The concept of "extras" is no longer present; users can extract any
values they want from the configured 'Figment'.
* The 'Poolable' trait takes an '&Config'.
* The 'secrets' feature is disabled by default.
* It is a hard error if 'secrets' is enabled under the 'release'
profile and no 'secret_key' is configured.
* 'ConfigBuilder' no longer exists: all fields of 'Config' are public
with public constructors for each type.
* 'keep_alive' is disabled with '0', not 'false' or 'off'.
* Inlined error variants into the 'Error' structure.
* 'LoggingLevel' is now 'LogLevel'.
* Limits can now be specified in SI units: "1 MiB".
The summary of other changes are:
* The default config file can be configured with 'ROCKET_CONFIG'.
* HTTP/1 and HTTP/2 keep-alive configuration is restored.
* 'ctrlc' is now a recognized config option.
* 'serde' is now a core dependency.
* TLS misconfiguration errors are improved.
* Several example use '_' as the return type of '#[launch]' fns.
* 'AdHoc::config()' was added for simple config extraction.
* Added more documentation for using 'Limits'.
* Launch information is no longer treated specially.
* The configuration guide was rewritten.
Resolves#852.
Resolves#209.
Closes#1404.
Closes#652.
The connection guard type generated by `#[database]` no longer
implements `Deref` and `DerefMut`. Instead, it provides an `async fn
run()` that gives access to the underlying connection on a closure run
through `spawn_blocking()`.
Additionally moves most of the implementation of `#[database]` out
of generated code and into library code for better type-checking.
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.
To the Rust teams, Rust's contributors, Rocket's contributors, the
entire Rust and Rocket communities, my colleagues at Stanford and
beyond, and Jeb: thank you all. Sincerely.
To the next ~4 years of Rocket!
Closes#19.
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.
observed.
This is a prerequisite for async on_attach fairings. 'Rocket' is now a
builder wrapper around the 'Manifest' type, with operations being
applied when needed by 'launch()', 'Client::new()', or 'inspect()'.
'inspect()' returns an '&Manifest', which now provides the methods that
could be called on an '&Rocket'.
* Update 'tokio', 'tokio-rustls', and 'hyper'.
* Remove unused dependencies on some `futures-*` crates.
* Rework 'spawn_on', which is now 'serve'.
* Simplify Ctrl-C handling.
