When a callback is omitted from a method on a model relation that
supports promises, return that promise. This includes all the standard
DAO methods, as well as any user-defined methods that return promises.
e.g.:
mylist.todos.create({name: 'Item 1'}) // returns Promise
This API will use native ES6 promises if available. If not available,
or to force the use of another Promise library, you must assign the
global.Promise object.
e.g.:
global.Promise = require('bluebird')
Relations affected:
- BelongsTo
- HasOne
- HasMany
- HasManyThrough
- HasAndBelongsToMany
- ReferencesMany
- EmbedsOne
Exceptions:
The EmbedsMany relation has not been promisified, because most of the
methods return synchronous values.
The base relation getter method [e.g.: mylist.todos()] has not been
promisified, due to its default caching behavior.
New Methods:
- getAsync(condition, cb)
A new method "getAsync()" has been added to all relations except
EmbedsMany, which always fetches from the datasource rather than from
the cache. It takes an optional "where" condition (except for HasOne
and BelongsTo) and an optional callback. If the callback is omitted,
a Promise is returned.
When the setting "persistUndefinedAsNull" is true,
the model will use `null` instead of `undefined` in
all property values.
- Known optional model properties are set to `null` when no value
was provided.
- When setting model properties, `undefined` is always converted
to `null`. This applies to both known (model-defined) properties
and additional (custom, dynamic) properties.
- The instance method `toObject()` converts `undefined` to `null` too.
Because `toJSON()` calls `toObject()` under the hood, the change
applies to `toJSON()` too.
ffcaa4e7 added a "data" argument to the callback function, which
shadowed the original data with the data returned by a connector.
Not all connectors are returning a data object though, in which case
the model instance ("this" object) is updated with wrong values.
This commit fixes the problem by renaming the second callback argument
to "unusedData".
"before save" hooks provide "ctx.isNewInstance" whenever "ctx.instance"
is set. Possible values:
- true for all CREATE operations
- false for all UPDATE operations
- undefined for "prototype.save"
"after save" hooks provide "ctx.isNewInstance" whenever "ctx.instance"
is set. Possible values:
- true after all CREATE operations
- false after all UPDATE operations
- undefined after "updateOrCreate" and "save"
Note: both "updateOrCreate" and "prototype.updateAttributes"
don't provide `ctx.instance` to "before save" hooks, therefore
`ctx.isNewInstance` it not provided either.
Before this commit, the following code would not work:
Change.updateOrCreate({...}, function(err, ch) {
// somewhere later, modify "ch" and save the changes
ch.save(cb);
});
"before delete" and "after delete" hooks receive `ctx.instance`
when a single model is being deleted.
"before save" hook receives `ctx.currentInstance` when triggered
by `prototype.updateAttributes()`.
Note that "after save" hook triggered by `prototype.updateAttributes()`
already provides `ctx.instance`.
When a callback is omitted from a DAO method, return a Promise that
resolves to the value normally passed to the callback of that method.
If a callback is provided, behave normally.
This API will use native ES6 promises if available. If not available,
or to force the use of another Promise library, you must assign the
global.Promise object.
e.g.:
global.Promise = require('bluebird')
Class methods affected:
- create
- updateOrCreate / upsert
- findOrCreate
- exists
- find
- findOne
- findById
- findByIds
- remove / deleteAll / destroyAll
- removeById / deleteById / destroyById
- count
- update / updateAll
Prototype methods affected:
- save
- delete / remove / destroy
- updateAttribute
- updateAttributes
- reload
Exceptions / edge cases:
- create() used to return the data object that was passed in, even if
no callback was provided. Now, if a callback is provided, it will
return the data object, otherwise it will return a Promise.
- If create() is provided an array of data objects for creation, it
will continue to always return the array. This batch creation mode
does not support promises.
- findOrCreate() has a callback of the form: cb(err, instance, created),
with the extra parameter indicating whether the instance was created
or not. When called with its promise variant, the resolver will
receive a single array parameter: [instance, created]
The property allows developers to specify that the default value
should be retrieved via a named function.
Only two built-in functions are supported at the moment:
"guid", "uuid" - generate a new GUID/UUID
"now" - use the current date and time
Support for custom (user-provided) functions is not implemented yet.
Support both promise and callback styles in
ModelBaseClass.notifyObserversOf.
When there is no callback supplied, the method returns a promise that
is resolved (or rejected) with the result.

The name "query" creates incorrect assumption that hook handlers
may return the result of a query to bypass database access.
That is far from true, since this hook is called also by methods
like `deleteAll` or `updateAll` that don't perform any SELECT query.
The commit 1fd6eff1 (intent-based hooks) introduced a subtle regression
in `.save()` method where dynamic property setters were invoked twice.
This commit fixes the problem by moving pre-save data normalization
into `before save` callback.
