Currently the return type of Role.getRoles() method is inconsistent:
role names are returned for smart roles and role ids are returned for
static roles (configured through user-role mapping).
This commit adds a new option to Role.getRoles() allowing the caller
to request role names to be returned for all types of roles.
this is needed because we added allowArray flag to persisted model's
remoteMethod, but when relations try to rebuild such methods, it does
not carry over such flags
Notable side-effects:
- loopback no longer exports "caller" and "arguments" properties
- kv-memory connector is now properly added to the connector registry
- the file "test/support.js" was finally removed
- Fix for current implimentation that returned all models that had any
assigned roles. Context was not carried into listByPrincipalType,
setting roleId as null.
In strong-remoting 3.x, we have stricken the coercion of inputs
methods that are expecting an Object will nolonger accept an array
as input, to preserve backwards compatibility we have added flag
allowArray in remote arguments, which would accept an array of objects
- Add a new User setting 'allowEternalTokens'
- Enhance 'AccessToken.validate' to support eternal tokens with ttl
value -1 when the user model allows it.
Fix the definition of "data" argument to
{ type: 'object', model: modelName, ... }
That way strong-remoting passed the request body directly to the model
method (does not create a new model instance), but the swagger will
still provide correct schema for these arguments.
This fixes a bug where upsert in relation methods was adding default
property values to request payload.
Current implementation of `app.model(modelName, settings)`
works as a sugar for model creation. In 3.0, this is
not supported anymore. This implementation reports an
error when sugar is used for model creation.
Includes:
- Updated app.model() method
- Fixed test cases reflecting the change
- Expose "keys()" at "GET /keys"
- Add a dummy implementation for "iterateKeys" to serve a useful error
message when the model is not attached correctly.
Fix token middleware to check if `req.loopbackContext` is active.
The context is not active for example when express-session calls
setImmediate which breaks CLS.
Rework the test suite to always report errors and correctly signal
when async tests are done.
This should prevent spurious test failures on CI servers that are
difficult to troubleshoot, because the error is reported for different
test case.
The remote-connector test has misconfigured the client (remote) model,
where the client model was trying to keep track of changes. That's
redundant because it's up to the server model (attached directly to the
database) to track changes.
This commit fixes that configuration and also cleans up the test code
a little bit to make it easier to distinguish between the remote
(client) model and the server model.
Use local registry in test fixtures to prevent collision in globally
shared models.
Fix issues discoverd in auth implementation where the global registry
was used instead of the correct local one.
- Removes backward compatibility
for legacy end points `/models` & `/routes`
- Removes `legacyExplorer` flag which
enabled these routes
- Update related tests & tests using the
legacyExplorer flag
subsequent token middleware tries to read `token.id` when `enableDoublecheck: true`. That caused a "Cannot read property `id` of `null`" error when the first middleware didn't actually find a valid accessToken.
*Re-mapping `updateAttributes` endpoint to use
`PATCH` and `PUT`(configurable) verb
*Exposing `replaceById` and `replaceOrCreate` via
`POST` and `PUT`(configurable) verb
Rework tests in `test/rest.middleware.test.js` to not depend
on `app.autoAttach()` and global shared registry of Models. Instead,
each tests creates a fresh app instance with a new in-memory datasource
and a new set of Models.
Rework User tests to not depend on `app.autoAttach()` and global shared
registry of Models. Instead, each tests creates a fresh app instance
with a new in-memory datasource and a new set of Models.
Add two new options:
- When `enableDoublecheck` is true, the middleware will run
even if a previous middleware has already set `req.accessToken`
(possibly to `null` for anonymous requests)
- When `overwriteExistingToken` is true (and `enableDoublecheck` too),
the middleware will overwrite `req.accessToken` set by a previous
middleware instances.
Fix `getIdFromWhereByModelId()` to correctly detect the situation
when "bulkUpdate" performs a write operation using a where filter
containing both id attribute but also all other model attributes.
This should significantly improve the performance of change replication,
because the cost of running rectifyAll is very high.
Modify `Change.rectify()` to not make any changes to the Change instance
(most notably to not modify the `checkpoint` field) when the tracked
model instance was not changed.
This should improve the performance of change replication as it reduces
the number of unnecessary replications.
For example, before this commit, every run of `rectifyAll` would
trigger a full sync of all clients, because all change instances would
be moved to the current checkpoint.
Fix `Application.resetKeys()` to reset instance id only if it is not
already set. This fixes a bug where each call of resetKeys created
a new instance.
The decision which Promise implementation to use should be made by
LoopBack user, not by the framework.
This commit moves Bluebird reference from lib/utils.js to
test/support.js.
Modify `app.enableAuth` to automaticaly setup all required models
that are not attached to the app nor a datasource.
Users wishing to use this option must provide the name of the
data-source to use for these models.
Example usage:
var app = loopback();
app.dataSource('db', { connector: 'memory' });
app.enableAuth({ dataSource: 'db' });
app.use(loopback.rest());
app.listen(3000);
When creating an application with a local registry, the default
behaviour is to define only two core models Model & PersistedModel.
The new flag `loadBuiltinModels` modifies this behaviour and instructs
loopback to define all builtin models in the local registry too.
Process `settings.methods` and `config.methods` as a key-value map
where the key is the method name and the value is an object describing
the method in the format expected by strong-remoting.
Example: a static method `Model.create`
"methods": {
"create": {
"isStatic": true,
"accepts": {
"arg": "data", "type": "Car",
"http": { "source": "body" }
},
"returns": { "arg": "data", "type": "Car", "root": true }
}
}
This patch is based on the code proposed by @mrfelton in #1163.
This patch fixes the method Model.getApp() that started to report
the following error after b61fae5 was landed:
assert.js:88
throw new assert.AssertionError({

AssertionError: undefined == true

The commit b917075 accidentally removed a couple of properties,
this commit is bringing them back:
- loopback.modelRegistry
- loopback.defaultDataSources
A unit-test was added to prevent this kind of regressions in the future.
Add end-to-end unit-tests verifying enforcement of access control during
conflict resolution.
Implement two facade methods providing REST API for Change methods used
by conflict resolution:
PersistedModel.findLastChange
GET /api/{model.pluralName}/{id}/changes/last
PersistedModel.updateLastChange
PUT /api/{model.pluralName}/{id}/changes/last
By providing these two methods on PersistedModel, replication users
don't have to expose the Change model via the REST API. What's even
more important, these two methods use the same set of ACL rules
as other (regular) PersistedModel methods.
Rework `Conflict.prototype.changes()` and `Conflict.prototype.resolve()`
to use these new facade methods.
Implement a new method `Conflict.prototype.swapParties()` that provides
better API for the situation when a conflict detected in Remote->Local
replication should be resolved locally (i.e. in the replication target).
1) Add integration tests running change replication over REST to verify
that access control at model level is correctly enforced.
2) Implement a new access type "REPLICATE" that allows principals
to create new checkpoints, even though they don't have full WRITE
access to the model. Together with the "READ" permission, these
two types allow principals to replicate (pull) changes from the server.
Note that anybody having "WRITE" access type is automatically
granted "REPLICATE" type too.
3) Add a new model option "enableRemoteReplication" that exposes
replication methods via strong remoting, but does not configure
change rectification. This option should be used the clients
when setting up Remote models attached to the server via the remoting
connector.
- `loopback.registry` is now a true global registry
- `app.registry` is unique per app object
- `Model.registry` is set when a Model is created using any registry method
- `loopback.localRegistry` and `loopback({localRegistry: true})` when set to `true` this will create a `Registry` per `Application`. It defaults to `false`.
