AlchemyConf - Video and 10% off!

Use code ZACHDANIEL for 10% off! Don’t forget to smash that like and subscribe button 😝. In all seriousness, I’m really excited about this conference, and I can’t wait to see you all there! Catch my interview with Zamith from Subvisual if you aren’t tired of hearing me talk yet. We also have our next training at AlchemyConf! Be there or be square!

Ensuring latest igniter version

The installer now checks if you are on the latest version of the archive when creating new projects, and uses `mix deps.update igniter` when installing into existing projects. This should help get ahead of a lot of cases where users face bugs that have been fixed in newer releases.

AshGraphql Subscriptions

AshGraphql has had subscription support for a while now, its really cool, you should check it out! We now include the structure required for subscriptions in the installer automatically!

SDL Files

You’ve been able to configure `AshGraphql` to emit an “SDL file” (your GraphQL schema) whenever you run `mix ash.codegen`, but you can now go one step further and generate the file every time your schema module compiles. This means that you can add your resources to Phoenix’s code reloader and have it automatically regenerate your schema file. Great if you’re working with a GraphQL codegen based front end!

Releases

Ash: 3.4.65

Improvements

• Raise an error if a generic action returns a result, i.e `{:ok, result}` but the action does not specify a return type.

Fixes

• fix pattern match when using `:_pkey` in notifier topic

• Fix logic for rolling back generic actions that touch multiple resources.

• fix case where batch before/after action callbacks could be skipped when running bulk actions

• ensure that code interfaces return NotFound error in all the cases that they should

• fix case where we were returning records on bulk update/destroys despite not being asked to

• ensure actor templates are hydrated for deeply nested aggregates

• properly use operator overloads for evaluating operators at runtime

• add a missing case clause for bulk update/destroy with `get?: true` in interface (#1806)

• always run update filter even on skipped updates

• don't change update defaults unless something other than an update default changes

• fix `parent/1` expressions when used in calculations inside of relationship filters

Igniter: 0.5.28-0.5.29

Improvements

• Add `phx_test_project` for testing generators on top of Phoenix code. Do not use this for anything other than testing, as it is likely to break when phoenix upgrades :D

• The installer now checks if you are on the latest version of the archive when creating new projects, and uses `mix deps.update igniter` when installing into existing projects.

Fixes

• Fix a case where we were duplicating diffs

Splode 0.2.9

Improvements

• Show docs for exception function, and list available keys automatically.

AshGraphql 1.7.0-1.7.2

Improvements

• Set up subscriptions in the installer automatically

• Add `auto_generate_sdl_file?` option to `use AshGraphql`

Fixes

• don’t require setting an object type if there are no actions, relationships, or fields that would require it.

AshAuthentication 4.5.2

Improvements

• Use `authorize_with: :error` when bulk updating tokens to expunge them, to surface any authorization errors that affect token expunging.

• Add `tenant` option to the new user confirmation sender

Fixes

• Ensure that token expunger sets required authorization context

• Fix a bunch of places where we were not passing along the `tenant` option

• Include the tenant in the generated JWT claims

• When checking if tokens are revoked, assume that they *are* if something unrelated goes wrong.

AshAuthenticationPhoenix 2.4.8

Improvements

• Add `LiveSession.opts/1` to help with interoperability with other tools (specifically Beacon CMS in this instance).

Fixes

• Ensure all forms set the current tenant

• Properly stringify lists of atoms in gettext

AshPostgres 2.5.6

Improvements

• Support `SKIP LOCKED` in `Ash.Query.lock`

Fixes

• Fix cases where query bindings could conflict when performing a lateral join

• Ensure primary key migrations use prefix for multitenancy

• Don’t rewrite identities in migrations when only the `global?` option has been changed on multitenancy

• Don’t add a `modify/2` statement in migrations when an attribute is only being renamed

AshSql 0.2.58-0.2.59

Fixes

• Wrap the `strpos(foo) > 0` fragment used for the `contains` expression in parentheses to avoid an ambiguous statement

• Various binding index fixes

• Use `count()` when no field is provided for the count aggregate, instead of the first primary key field

AshSqlite 1.1.1

Fixes

• Rewrite the `in` expression to a series of “or equals” because either SQLite or the SQLite Ecto adapter doesn’t like support list literals

AshAdmin 0.13.1

Improvements

• Use AbortSignal in Typeahead hook to remove event listeners

Improvements

• Set a default `search_max_items` for searching related records

AshMoney 0.1.17

Fixes

• Add a new migration to fix the greater than or equal operator which was using the wrong function (greater than)

AshDoubleEntry 2.1.18

Fixes

• Fix an installer bug that would double process transactions

• Fix an installer bug that was using the wrong argument type for `balance_as_of`
