- validateUpsert:true reports validation errors back to the callback
- validateUpsert:false does not call `isValid()` at all
- any other value report validation errors via `console.warn`
When a required number property is set to NaN, for example as a result
of coersion (`Number([1,2,3])`), the "presence" validation now correctly
reports an error.
Fix the implementation of updateOrCreate (a.k.a. upsert) to validate
the model before calling the connector.
In order to preserve backwards compatibility, validation errors are
only logged via console.warn by default.
The correct behaviour, where validation errors fail the updateOrCreate
operation, can be enabled via new model setting "validateUpsert".
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.
Rename the second callback argument to `info` to make its purpose more
clear. Fix jsdoc comments, note that these comments are NOT shown
on http://apidocs.strongloop.com/.
This commit is dropping lodash in favour of hand-written implementation
based on ES5 Array methods. As a result, the size of the (unminified)
loopback browser bundle is decreased by approx 360KB.
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`.
List of deprecated hooks:
- beforeValidate
- afterValidate
- beforeCreate
- afterCreate
- beforeSave
- afterSave
- beforeUpdate
- afterUpdate
- beforeDestroy
- afterDestroy
Also add a lightweight browser version of "depd", because the "depd"
does not support browser and it is not trivial to fix that.
This commits adds a lightweight implementation of depd's "deprecate"
function.
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.

So hasOne#create could take advantage from optimized findOrCreate,
which can avoid multiple creation among concurrent requests.

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.
This patch introduces a new API for "intent-based" hooks. These hooks
are not tied to a particular method (e.g. "find" or "update"). Instead,
they are triggered from all methods that execute a particular "intent".
The consumer API is very simple, there is a new method
Model.observe(name, observer), where the observer is function
observer(context, callback).
Observers are inherited by child models and it is possible to register
multiple observers for the same hook.
List of hooks:
- query
- before save
- after save
- after delete
Return the raw object data when running on Node v0.11.14+
That way all `inspect` options are always preserved.
When running on older version:
- Honour the depth argument passed to the custom `inspect` function.
- Disable color output, becase there is now way how to detect whether
colors were enabled or disabled by the top-level caller.
When building a list of errors for `ValidationError.message`, include
the values of invalid properties too.
In order to keep the message reasonably short, the values are truncated
at approx 32 characters.
For queries, this is undesirable. It also affects
loopback-connector-mongodb's ability to perform nested queries (it
expects plain objects to work correctly, and to allow $elemMatch for
example).
If the validator configured with `{async:true}` option and `if/unless`
condition, validator should be skipped when the condition is un-fulfilled,
so the validator should be pass.
But currently, when skipping the validator, it calls `done(true)` which
accepts a `fail` flag as a param, this will fail the entire validation.

Before this change, it was impossible to override 'build' and other
(custom) relation/scope methods; only the original prototype method was
ever called.
Fix the bug in `ModelClass.extend` where the `base` option used
in the new class was inherited from ModelClass. As a result
the extended model was incorrectly based on ModelClass's parent.
Modify `modelBuilder.define` to normalize the property name storing
the name of the base model to `settings.base`.
