- The
iron-handlers
feature now depends on Iron 0.5 (#30). Because of this, support for Rust 1.12 has been dropped. It might still work if you're not using the Iron integrations feature, however.
- Input objects defined by the
graphql_input_object!
can now be used as default values to field arguments and other input object fields.
0.6.3 – 2017-02-19
- Add support for default values on input object fields (#28)
0.6.2 – 2017-02-05
- The
null
literal is now supported in the GraphQL language. (#26) - Rustc-serialize is now optional, but enabled by default. If you only want Serde support, include Juniper without default features and enable Serde. (#12)
- The built-in
ID
type now has a public constructor and derives a few traits (Clone
,Debug
,Eq
,PartialEq
,From<String>
,Deref<Target=str>
). (#19) - Juniper is now built and tested against all Rust compilers since version 1.12.1.
- Serde has been updated to 0.9. (#25)
- The built-in GraphiQL handler had a bug in variable serialization. (#16)
- The example should now build and run without problems on Windows. (#15)
- Object types now properly implement
__typename
. (#22) - String variables are now properly parsed into GraphQL enums. (#17)
0.6.1 – 2017-01-06
- Optional Serde support (#8)
- The
graphql_input_object!
macro can now be used to define input objects as public Rust structs. - GraphiQL in the Iron GraphiQL handler has been updated to 0.8.1 (##11)
Some undocumented but public APIs were changed.
to_snake_case
correctly renamed toto_camel_case
(#9)- JSON serialization of
GraphQLError
changed to be more consistent with how other values were serialized (#10).
0.6.0 – 2017-01-02
TL;DR: Many big changes in how context types work and how they
interact with the executor. Not too much to worry about if you're only
using the macros and not deriving GraphQLType
directly.
-
The
executor
argument in all resolver methods is now immutable. The executor instead uses interior mutability to store errors in a thread-safe manner.This change could open up for asynchronous or multi-threaded execution: you can today use something like rayon in your resolve methods to let child nodes be concurrently resolved.
How to fix: All field resolvers that looked like
field name(&mut executor
now should sayfield name(&executor
. -
The context type of
GraphQLType
is moved to an associated type; meaning it's no longer generic. This only affects people who implement the trait manually, not macro users.This greatly simplifies a lot of code by ensuring that there only can be one
GraphQLType
implementation for any given Rust type. However, it has the downside that support for generic contexts previously used in scalars, has been removed. Instead, use the new context conversion features to accomplish the same task.How to fix: Instead of
impl GraphQLType<MyContext> for ...
, you useimpl GraphQLType for ... { type Context = MyContext;
. -
All context types must derive the
Context
marker trait. This is part of an overarching change to allow different types to use different contexts.How to fix: If you have written e.g.
graphql_object!(MyType: MyContext ...)
you will need to addimpl Context for MyContext {}
. Simple as that. -
Registry
and all meta type structs now takes one lifetime parameter, which affectsGraphQLType
'smeta
method. This only affects people who implement the trait manually.How to fix: Change the type signature of
meta()
to readfn meta<'r>(registry: &mut Registry<'r>) -> MetaType<'r>
. -
The type builder methods on
Registry
no longer return functions taking types or fields. Due to how the borrow checker works with expressions, you will have to split up the instantiation into two statements. This only affects people who implement theGraphQLType
trait manually.How to fix: Change the contents of your
meta()
methods to something like this:fn meta<'r>(registry: &mut Registry<r>) -> MetaType<'r> { let fields = &[ /* your fields ... */ ]; registry.build_object_type::<Self>(fields).into_meta() }
-
Support for different contexts for different types. As GraphQL schemas tend to get large, narrowing down the context type to exactly what a given type needs is great for encapsulation. Similarly, letting different subsystems use different resources thorugh the context is also useful for the same reasons.
Juniper supports two different methods of doing this, depending on your needs: if you have two contexts where one can be converted into the other without any extra knowledge, you can implement the new
FromContext
trait. This is useful if you have multiple crates or modules that all belong to the same GraphQL schema:struct TopContext { db: DatabaseConnection, session: WebSession, current_user: User, } struct ModuleOneContext { db: DatabaseConnection, // This module only requires a database connection } impl Context for TopContext {} impl Context for ModuleOneContext {} impl FromContext<TopContext> for ModuleOneContext { fn from(ctx: &TopContext) -> ModuleOneContext { ModuleOneContext { db: ctx.db.clone() } } } graphql_object!(Query: TopContext |&self| { field item(&executor) -> Item { executor.context().db.get_item() } }); // The `Item` type uses another context type - conversion is automatic graphql_object!(Item: ModuleOneContext |&self| { // ... });
The other way is to manually perform the conversion in a field resolver. This method is preferred when the child context needs extra knowledge than what exists in the parent context:
// Each entity has its own context struct TopContext { entities: HashMap<i64, EntityContext>, db: DatabaseConnection, } struct EntityContext { // fields } impl Context for TopContext {} impl Context for EntityContext {} graphql_object!(Query: TopContext |&self| { // By returning a tuple (&Context, GraphQLType), you can tell the executor // to switch out the context for the returned value. You can wrap the // tuple in Option<>, FieldResult<>, FieldResult<Option<>>, or just return // the tuple without wrapping it. field entity(&executor, key: i64) -> Option<(&EntityContext, Entity)> { executor.context().entities.get(&key) .map(|ctx| (ctx, executor.context().db.get_entity(key))) } }); graphql_object!(Entity: EntityContext |&self| { // ... });
- Parser and query execution has now reduced the allocation overhead by reusing as much as possible from the query source and meta type information.
0.5.3 – 2016-12-05
-
jtry!
: Helper macro to produceFieldResult
s from regularResult
s. Wherever you would be usingtry!
in a regular function or method, you can usejtry!
in a field resolver:graphql_object(MyType: Database |&self| { field count(&executor) -> FieldResult<i64> { let txn = jtry!(executor.context().transaction()); let count = jtry!(txn.execute("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM user")); Ok(count[0][0]) } });
-
Relax context type trait requirements for the iron handler: your contexts no longer have to be
Send + Sync
. -
RootNode
is nowSend
andSync
if both the mutation and query types implementSend
andSync
.
return
statements inside field resolvers no longer cause syntax errors.
- Support for marking fields and enum values deprecated.
input_object!
helper macro
- The included example server now uses the simple Star Wars schema used in query/introspection tests.
-
The query validators - particularly ones concerned with validation of input data and variables - have been improved significantly. A large number of test cases have been added.
-
Macro syntax stability has also been improved. All syntactical edge cases of the macros have gotten tests to verify their correctness.
