v0.38 Highlights 🎉

🔬Service Validations

This new feature (modeled after Rails validations) adds functions for validating data in services before passing the calls to your DB. We know to Never Trust the Client, so Service Validations provides a declarative way to perform a server-side check for the same validations you (hopefully) have in the front-end to avoid a round trip to the server just to find out your input is badly formatted.

This provides a nice way to see the requirements for your data right next to where it's actually being sent to your data store. Less hunting through schema.prisma or an SDL file to see what formatting requirements your data has. They're just a collection of functions that happen to make Prisma create/update/delete calls.

📍Improved API Path Configuration

Customizing your project's API endpoints is now a snap with the addition of several configuration options plus enhanced flexibility. Want to use GraphCDN with Redwood or deploy on Fly.io? Or just get fancy with your API domain? Now you can! To learn more, see the configuration options and examples:

🔐 dbAuth adds Forgot/Reset Password

This release adds Forgot/Reset Password functionality to dbAuth! You get two new generated pages at /forgot-password and /reset-password, which handle all of the UI for you. You can also build your own, getting the needed functions from useAuth() just as you would for logIn, signUp or logOut. If you do plan to build your own, the fastest way to get up to speed would be to generate these two pages and read through the code, then translate that to your own versions of those pages.

⚛️ Node.js 16 Support

Node.js v16.13.0, codename 'Gallium', has transitioned to Long Term Support (LTS). And Redwood now fully supports v16! To use it, you'll need to make a small change to your project's package.json. Check out the "Code Modification" section to learn how.

Fixed

Chore

Breaking ⚠️

1. Prisma v3: New db seed command

Prisma rewrote db seed, which means the previous command implementation was deprecated and replaced. It's now been nicely integrated with Redwood, but you'll need to go through a few steps. Just follow the upgrade instructions in the "Code Modifications" section below. #3507

2. beforeResolvers are Fully Deprecated

Redwood v0.37 introduced GraphQL Directives, which replaced beforeResolver functionality. #3593

3. Replace apiProxyPath config with apiUrl and two other config options

Your Redwood app's API paths are now fully customizable, and apiProxyPath has been fully deprecated. To upgrade, there's a simple name change you'll need to make. See the "Code Modifications" section below. #2822

4. dbAuth: Adds Forgot/Reset Password functionality

The new features for dbAuth are a breaking change for some projects. If you have been using dbAuth since pre-0.37.0 there are a couple of steps to get Forgot/Reset Password added to your app. Follow the upgrade instructions in the "Code Modifications" section below. #3429

How to Upgrade

Once you're done, don't forget to upgrade your packages!

Upgrade Packages from v0.37.x to v0.38.x

Run the following command within your App's directory: 

yarn redwood upgrade

✨New Step✨ Yarn Dedupe and Install

Sometimes packages don't get resolved correctly in yarn.lock. To make sure you project has a "healthy" lock file, run the following commands: 

npx yarn-deduplicate
yarn install

This will fix any potential issues (if any) in your project's yarn.lock ✅and then install any necessary upgrades.

✅ Don't forget to git commit your updated yarn.lock file

Upgrading from an earlier version?

Please follow the "how to upgrade" sections for each newer version here 👉 https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood/releases, as there may be manual code mods needed for each version.

Upgrading to a version that is not the latest?

The command yarn rw upgrade will always upgrade to the latest (i.e. most recent) Redwood version. If you need to upgrade incrementally to an earlier, specific release, use the --tag option. For example, if you need to upgrade from v0.34.1 to v0.35.0, run the following command: 

yarn redwood upgrade --tag 0.35.0
