A teaser

Since this is a pretty quiet week, I thought I’d leave you all with something fun! Maybe a bit more than a “teaser” though…

Releases

Ash: 3.4.68

• Allow manual read actions to return a `full_count`, which is used to inform pagination about how many total records there are in the data source.

• Validate action types in `Ash` functions more eagerly. This prevents a few cryptic errors that would arise when an update action was passed in to `Ash.destroy`, for example.

Reactor: 0.15.0

• Added a `mix reactor.run`, which allows you to run a reactor from the command line!

  

Igniter 0.5.32-0.5.36

• Added a `placement` option to `Igniter.Libs.Phoenix.add_scope/4` and `Igniter.Libs.Phoenix.append_to_scope/4`

• Added `assert_has_task` test helper

• Added `mix igniter.remove` for removing dependencies

  

AshPostgres 2.5.11

• Added `--skip-unknown` flag to `mix ash_postgres.gen.resources`

• Added a `--no-migrations` flag to `mix ash_postgres.gen.resources

AshOban 0.4.0

• Added an `after_batch` callback for `RunObanTrigger`, bulk inserting all jobs required after bulk actions (using `insert_all` if you’re on Oban Pro)

• Added `worker_module_name` and `scheduler_module_name` options, which solves for problems with renaming resources causing dangling jobs

• Added `mix ash_oban.set_default_module_names`, a mix task for setting those module names automatically
