ZenStack Release v1.0.0-beta.10

Features and Improvements

• Prisma V5 is supported! #581
• ZModel now supports database views (read-only, updatable views are not supported). #258
• Instead of rejecting the query, enhanced clients now set field to null if a nested optional to-one relation is requested but not readable. #586
• API layer (both RESTful and RPC-style) always use superjson for serialization. More details: RESTful RPC.
• Fixed OpenAPI plugin issue with Bytes type. #573
• Fixed issue with incorrect path generated on Windows environments #582
• Stricter type checking for binary expressions in ZModel #292

Breaking Changes

• The RPC-style API handler now wraps the query result into a "data" field. In addition, there can be a "meta" field in the response body containing serialization metadata. Please find more details here: https://zenstack.dev/docs/reference/server-adapters/api-handlers/rpc.

Full Changelog: v1.0.0-beta.8...v1.0.0-beta.10

ZenStack Release v1.0.0-beta.8

Fixes and Improvements

• New option for ExpressJS server adapter to control whether the middleware should send a response or just compute it. Docs. #531
• Fixed invalid Prisma query generated when doing nested update for models with multiple ID fields #552
• Allow to use a custom fetch function when using SWR and TanStack Query hooks #542 #541
• Removed unnecessary peer dependencies to Prisma which caused Zod compilation issues when using pnpm #560
• Add type annotation to generated zod schemas to make tsc happy in pnpm workspace environment
• Add "interactiveTransactions" preview features flag when a low Prisma version (< 4.7.0) is detected #508
• Fixed problem that "_count" selection in find queries are not subject to "read" policy filtering

Breaking Changes

• When connecting two models (with create, update, etc. calls) with implicit many-to-many relationship, previously ZenStack didn't check if the model being connected passes "update" check. This is now tightened up. Please note that this only affects implicit many-to-many relationships.

Thanks @chemitaxis for the continuous contribution! 🙏🏻

Full Changelog: v1.0.0-beta.3...v1.0.0-beta.7

ZenStack Release v1.0.0-beta.3

New Features

• [TRPC plugin] Improved typing for the generated routers #409
  The plugin can now generate extra helpers for improve typing of the trpc client side, so calling the CRUD routers now has the same experience as calling Prisma methods. E.g.:

  const post = trpc.post.findFirst({ include: { author: true } });

  The code above used to have a static typing of Post, although at runtime the data contains an author field. After applying the typing helper, the result is typed as Post & { author: User }.

  More details here: https://zenstack.dev/docs/reference/plugins/trpc#client-helpers

• [Data Validation] Model-level validation rules #477

  A new model-level attribute @@validate is introduced to express more complex data validation rules. You can use it to write rules that involve multiple fields and combine boolean expressions. A set of validation functions are also added to support various kinds of field validation in a complex rule.

  model Model {
      x Int
      y String
      @@validate(x > 0 && contains(y, 'foo'), 'my custom condition')
  }

  Field-level validation attributes (like @email, etc.) are also extended with an optional error message parameter.

  More details here: https://zenstack.dev/docs/reference/zmodel-language#model-level-validation-attributes

• [Zod Plugin] Generates zod schema for models, including validation rules #477

  In previous versions, @core/zod plugin only generated schemas for Prisma's CRUD input. It's got a renovation in this release and now generates three kinds of schemas:

  • models:
    Schemas for models, including flavors for full validation, create, and update. Data validation rules are included.
  • input:
    Schemas for Prisma CRUD method input. This is used by the trpc plugin to validate router input.
  • objects:
    Schemas for objects used by the "input" schemas. You usually don't need to use this.

  By default, the generated zod schemas are reexported through @zenstackhq/runtime/zod and can be directly imported and used.

  Error messages attached to validation rules are now carried over to the generated zod schemas. E.g.: email String @email('must be a valid email') is transformed to z.string().email('must be a valid email').

  Model-level validation rules written with @@validate are also supported and are transformed to z.refine. E.g., @@validate(x > 0 && contains(y, 'foo')) is transformed to z.object({...}).refine((value) => value.x > 0 && value.y?.includes('foo')).

Fixes and Improvements

• Fixed the bug that SWR hooks call into wrong endpoint
• tRPC plugin generated routers now support unchecked input types #499
• Fixed incorrect policy code generation when a single boolean field is used as policy expression #509
• Fixed issue about wrong reference resolution when there're enum fields with the same name #498
• Fixed parser error when true or false are used as declaration name prefix #522
• The REST API handler now returns the total count in the meta section for collection queries by @chemitaxis #527
• Added contribution guide

New Contributors

• @Azzerty23 made their first contribution in #461

Full Changelog: v1.0.0-alpha.119...v1.0.0-beta.1

ZenStack Release v1.0.0-alpha.119

New Features

• Server API handler for RESTful style API

  Now ZenStack supports two styles of APIs: RPC (mirroring PrismaClient's query APIs) and RESTful (resource-centric API using JSON:API as transportation). When creating a server adapter, you can choose to use one of these handlers (defaults to RPC). Check out the documentation for more details.

  A big ❤️THANK YOU❤️ to @jawadst for initiating this effort and contributing code!

• OpenAPI specification generation for RESTful style API

  Related to the previous feature, the @zenstackhq/openapi plugin is also updated to support RESTful style API.

• Server adapter for SvelteKit

  The @zenstackhq/server/sveltekit module implements a SvelteKit server hook to provide an automatic RPC or RESTful style CRUD API. Check out the sample project here.

• New plugins: @zenstackhq/swr and @zenstackhq/tanstack-query

  These plugins generate client hooks targeting SWR and TanStack Query. The original @zenstackhq/react plugin will be deprecated in the future and replaced by these two new plugins. SWR plugin is for React only, and TanStack Query plugin supports React and Svelte today and will support Vue in the future.

  Sample projects:

  • SWR with Next.js
  • TanStack Query with Next.js
  • TanStack Query with SvelteKit

Fixes And Improvements

• Next.js server adapter is moved to @zenstackhq/server package. The original @zenstackhq/next package will be deprecated soon.
• Upgraded to Langium 1.2.0
• OpenAPI: component schema should be generated even if the model is marked as "@@openapi.ignore" #349
• Don't generate auxiliary fields when a model doesn't have any access policy #415
• ZModel: added supports to directUrl field in datasource declaration. This can be used to provide a separate database connection (usually without pooling) for migration.

Breaking Changes

• Plugin's output path handling is unified to be relative to the location of ZModel file. This wasn't implemented consistently previously. If you had ZModel residing in a non-root folder, you may need to adjust plugin output paths accordingly.

We're aiming to hit Beta for the next release!
