Warning: This is a pre-release of Django Ninja V1
On the other hand this is a beta release, so no more dramatic changes expected - mostly bug fixes
There is only one major syntax thing that I'm still considering to add to 1.0 - shorter annotations - #746 - Please take a look and give your vote/thoughts
What's new
- async authentication fully supported on all layers
- CSRF is now automatic on Cookie based authentication ( now you should be able to combine multiple cookie/header/etc authenticators and play around with csrf logic)
- Pydantic2 - which has a core re-written in Rust and includes a lot of improvements and features like:
- Safer types.
- Better extensibility.
- Better performance - so far on few projects that I tested getting average 10% speed improvements (some particular views which do lot of validations should get pretty good bumps)
- schema validators/resolvers now have extra context (like request)
- Pagination class accepts a request object
- Support for
Annotated[]syntax - allow adding routers by string path instead of explicit import
Unfortunately Django ninja integrates very deep into pydantic core with Schema class, so it is not possible to keep both pydantic v1 and v2 supported - and that is why ninja now bumps to version 1 which might have few deprecations or breaking changes on pydantic level
From Django ninja side I'm trying to make this upgrade as smooth as possible, if you use standard APIs without lot of magic - most likely upgrade should be without any code change
