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.
This allows us to test all of the "core" crates (and the guide) by
testing the root workspace, and all of the examples by testing in the
examples workspace.
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.
* 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.
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.
The directory structure has changed to better isolate crates serving
core and contrib. The new directory structure is:
contrib/
lib/ - the contrib library
core/
lib/ - the core Rocket library
codegen/ - the "compile extension" codegen library
codegen_next/ - the new proc-macro library
examples/ - unchanged
scripts/ - unchanged
site/ - unchanged
This commit also removes the following files:
appveyor.yml - AppVeyor (Rust on Windows) is far too spotty for use
rustfmt.toml - rustfmt is, unfortunately, not mature enough for use
Finally, all example Cargo crates were marked with 'publish = false'.
The 'codegen_next' crate will eventually be renamed 'codegen'. It
contains procedural macros written with the upcoming 'proc_macro' APIs,
which will eventually be stabilized. All compiler extensions in the
present 'codegen' crate will be rewritten as procedural macros and moved
to the 'codegen_next' crate.
At present, macros from 'codegen_next' are exported from the core
`rocket` crate automatically. In the future, we may wish to feature-gate
this export to allow using Rocket's core without codegen.
Resolves#16.
The '2018-01-12' nightly release includes a commit that reverts the
change that broke 'ring', un-breaking 'ring', and thus un-breaking
Rocket. As a result, the '[patch]' workaround is no longer required.
Rocket is back on the latest nightly!
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 commit introduces TLS support, provided by `rustls` and a fork of
`hyper-rustls`. TLS support is enabled via the `tls` feature and
activated when the `tls` configuration parameter is set. A new
`hello_tls` example illustrates its usage.
This commit also introduces more robust and complete configuration
settings via environment variables. In particular, quoted string,
array, and table (dictionaries) based configuration parameters can now
be set via environment variables.
Resolves#28.
This commit includes the following additions:
* A `session` example was added.
* `Config::take_session_key` was removed.
* If a `session_key` is not supplied, one is automatically generated.
* The `Session` type implements signed, encrypted sessions.
* A `Session` can be retrieved via its request guard.
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.
Remove form_items function in favor of FormItems iterator.
Add specialized `bool` implementation of FromFormValue.
Add `&str` implementation of FromFormValue for debugging.
