Deprecate `Change.handleError`, it was used inconsistenly for a subset
of possible errors only. Rework all `Change` methods to always report
all errors to the caller via the callback.
Rework `PersistedModel` to report change-tracking errors via the
existing method `PersistedModel.handleChangeError`. This method
can be customized on a per-model basis to provide different error
handling.
The default implementation emits `error` event on the model class,
users can attach an event listener that can provide a custom error
handler.
NOTE: Unhandled `error` events crash the application by default.
Refactor the core implementation of current context from
server/middleware/context.js into server/current-context.js.
Expose new public API:
- loopback.runInContext
- loopback.createContext
Use the recently added context property `ctx.instance` to improve
the accuracy of the algorithm detecting whether a single or
multiple models were deleted.
Modify `Change.diff()` to include current data revision in each
delta reported back. The current data revision is stored in
`delta.prev`.
Modify `PersistedModel.bulkUpdate()` to check that the current data
revision matches `delta.prev` and report a conflict if a third party
has modified the database under our hands.
Fix `Change` implementation and tests so that they are no longer
attempting to create instances with duplicate ids.
(This used to work because the memory connector was silently
converting such requests to updateOrCreate/findOrCreate.)
Rework the Change model to merge changes made within the same
Checkpoint.
Rework `replicate()` to run multiple iteration until there were no
changes replicated. This ensures that the target model is left in
a clean state with no pending changes associated with the latest
(current) checkpoint.
Extend `PersistedModel.replicate` to pass the newly created checkpoints
as the third callback argument.
The typical usage of these values is to pass them as the `since`
argument of the next `replicate()` call.
global.since = -1;
function sync(cb) {
LocalModel.replicate(
since,
RemoteModel,
function(err, conflicts, cps)
if (err) return cb(err);
if (!conflicts.length) {
since = cps;
return cb();
}
// resolve conflicts and try again
});
}
Before this change, in the case of a one-way replication, the remote
checkpoint was never updated, thus the "diff" step had to check
all changes made through the whole history.
This commit fixes the problem by creating a new remote checkpoint
at the same time when a local checkpoint is created.
It is important to create the new checkpoint before the replication is
started to prevent a race condition where a remote change can end up
being associated with an already replicated checkpoint.
Rework the "replicate()" to create a new source checkpoint as the first
step, so that any changes made in parallel will be associated with
the next checkpoint.
Before this commit, there was a race condition where a change might
end up being associated with the already-replicated checkpoint and thus
not picked up by the next replication run.
Modify `PersistedModel.replicate` to allow consumers to provide
different "since" values to be used for the local and remote changes.
Make the "since" filters consistent and include the "since" value
in the range via `gte`. Before this commit, the local query used
`gt` and the remote query used `gte`.
Add unit-tests to verify that all DAO methods correctly create change
records.
Rework the change detection to use the new operation hooks, this fixes
the bugs where operations like "updateOrCreate" did not update change
records.
Express has recently deprecated `req.param()` to force developers
to be explicit about the source of the value. To avoid deprecation
warnings, this commit replaces all calls of `req.param()` with a
simplified inline version.
Enhance the error objects with a `code` property containing
a machine-readable string code describing the error, for example
INVALID_TOKEN or USER_NOT_FOUND.
Also improve 404 error messages to include the model name.
Bugs fixed:
- express helpers like `req.get` are now available in middleware
handlers registered via `app.middleware`
- `req.url` does not include the mountpath prefix now, this is
consistent with the behaviour of `app.use`
The implementation of phased middleware was completely rewritten.
- We no longer use Phase and PhaseList objects from loopback-phase.
- Handler functions are registered via the `Layer` mechanism used by
express router.
- The app keeps the layers sorted according to phases.
Add a new argument to `app.middleware` allowing developers
to restrict the middleware to a list of paths or regular expresions.
Modify `app.middlewareFromConfig` to pass `config.paths` as the second
arg of `app.middleware`.
Examples:
// A string path (interpreted via path-to-regexp)
app.middleware('auth', '/admin', ldapAuth);
// A regular expression
app.middleware('initial', /^\/~(admin|root)/, rejectWith404);
// A list of scopes
app.middleware('routes', ['/api', /^\/assets/.*\.json$/], foo);
// From config
app.middlewareFromConfig(
handlerFactory,
{
phase: 'initial',
paths: ['/scope', /^\/(a|b)/]
});
