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
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
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.
*Re-mapping `updateAttributes` endpoint to use
`PATCH` and `PUT`(configurable) verb
*Exposing `replaceById` and `replaceOrCreate` via
`POST` and `PUT`(configurable) verb
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.
Improve the id-detection algorithm in the "after save" hook
to correctly handle "updateAttributes" as a single-model change
and DO NOT trigger full "rectify all" scan.
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).
Correctly handle the case when the model is attached multiple times
during the lifecycle, this happens because `loopback.createModel`
always makes an attempt to auto-attach.
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`.
