Should I upgrade my Iris?

Developers are not forced to upgrade if they don't really need it. Upgrade whenever you feel ready.

How to upgrade: Open your command-line and execute this command: go get github.com/kataras/iris/v12@latest.

Next

This release introduces new features and some breaking changes inside the mvc and hero packages. The codebase for dependency injection has been simplified a lot (fewer LOCs and easier to read and follow up).

The new release contains a fresh new and awesome feature....a function dependency can accept previous registered dependencies and update or return a new value of any type.

The new implementation is faster on both design and serve-time.

The most common scenario from a route to handle is to:

• accept one or more path parameters and request data, a payload
• send back a response, a payload (JSON, XML,...)

The new Iris Dependency Injection feature is about 33.2% faster than its predecessor on the above case. This drops down even more the performance cost between native handlers and dynamic handlers with dependencies. This reason itself brings us, with safety and performance-wise, to the new Party.DI() *APIBuilderDI method which returns methods such as DI.Handle(method, relativePath string, handlersFn ...interface{}) *Route and DI.RegisterDependency.

Look how clean your codebase can be when using Iris':

package main

import "github.com/kataras/iris/v12"

type (
    testInput struct {
        Email string `json:"email"`
    }

    testOutput struct {
        ID   int    `json:"id"`
        Name string `json:"name"`
    }
)

func handler(id int, in testInput) testOutput {
    return testOutput{
        ID:   id,
        Name: in.Email,
    }
}

func main() {
    app := iris.New()
    app.DI().Handle(iris.MethodPost, "/{id:int}", handler)
    app.Listen(":5000", iris.WithOptimizations)
}

Your eyes don't lie you. You read well, no ctx.ReadJSON(&v) and ctx.JSON(send) neither error handling are presented. It is a huge relief but if you ever need, you still have the control over those, even errors from dependencies. Any error may occur from request-scoped dependencies or your own handler is dispatched through Party.DI().Container.GetErrorHandler which defaults to the hero.DefaultErrorHandler which sends a 400 Bad Request response with the error's text as its body contents, you can change it through Party.DI().OnError. If you want to handle testInput otherwise then just add a Party.DI().RegisterDependency(func(ctx iris.Context) testInput {...}) and you are ready to go. Here is a quick list of the new Party.DI's fields and methods:

// Container holds the DI Container of this Party featured Dependency Injection.
// Use it to manually convert functions or structs(controllers) to a Handler.
Container *hero.Container

// OnError adds an error handler for this Party's DI Hero Container and its handlers (or controllers).
// The "errorHandler" handles any error may occurred and returned
// during dependencies injection of the Party's hero handlers or from the handlers themselves.
OnError(errorHandler func(context.Context, error))

// RegisterDependency adds a dependency.
// The value can be a single struct value or a function.
// Follow the rules:
// * <T> {structValue}
// * func(accepts <T>)                                 returns <D> or (<D>, error)
// * func(accepts iris.Context)                        returns <D> or (<D>, error)
// * func(accepts1 iris.Context, accepts2 *hero.Input) returns <D> or (<D>, error)
//
// A Dependency can accept a previous registered dependency and return a new one or the same updated.
// * func(accepts1 <D>, accepts2 <T>)                  returns <E> or (<E>, error) or error
// * func(acceptsPathParameter1 string, id uint64)     returns <T> or (<T>, error)
//
// Usage:
//
// - RegisterDependency(loggerService{prefix: "dev"})
// - RegisterDependency(func(ctx iris.Context) User {...})
// - RegisterDependency(func(User) OtherResponse {...})
RegisterDependency(dependency interface{})

// Use same as a common Party's "Use" but it accepts dynamic functions as its "handlersFn" input.
Use(handlersFn ...interface{})
// Done same as a common Party's but it accepts dynamic functions as its "handlersFn" input.
Done(handlersFn ...interface{})

// Handle same as a common Party's `Handle` but it accepts one or more "handlersFn" functions which each one of them
// can accept any input arguments that match with the Party's registered Container's `Dependencies` and
// any output result; like custom structs <T>, string, []byte, int, error,
// a combination of the above, hero.Result(hero.View | hero.Response) and more.
//
// It's common from a hero handler to not even need to accept a `Context`, for that reason,
// the "handlersFn" will call `ctx.Next()` automatically when not called manually.
// To stop the execution and not continue to the next "handlersFn"
// the end-developer should output an error and return `iris.ErrStopExecution`.
Handle(method, relativePath string, handlersFn ...interface{}) *Route

Prior to this version the iris.Context was the only one dependency that has been automatically binded to the handler's input or a controller's fields and methods, read below to see what types are automatically binded:

Type	Maps To
iris.Context	Current Iris Context
*sessions.Session	Current Iris Session
context.Context	ctx.Request().Context()
*http.Request	ctx.Request()
http.ResponseWriter	ctx.ResponseWriter()
http.Header	ctx.Request().Header
time.Time	time.Now()
string,
int, int8, int16, int32, int64,
uint, uint8, uint16, uint32, uint64,
float, float32, float64,
bool,
slice	Path Parameter
Struct	Request Body of JSON, XML, YAML, Form, URL Query, Protobuf, MsgPack

Here is a preview of what the new Hero handlers look like:

Request & Response & Path Parameters

Custom Preflight

Custom Dependencies

Other Improvements:

• A result of can implement the new hero.PreflightResult interface which contains a single method of Preflight(iris.Context) error. If this method exists on a custom struct value which is returned from a handler then it will fire that Preflight first and if not errored then it will cotninue by sending the struct value as JSON(by-default) response body.

• ctx.JSON, JSONP, XML: if iris.WithOptimizations is NOT passed on app.Run/Listen then the indentation defaults to " " (two spaces) otherwise it is empty or the provided value.

• Hero Handlers (and app.DI().Handle) do not have to require iris.Context just to call ctx.Next() anymore, this is done automatically now.

New Context Methods:

• context.Protobuf(proto.Message) sends protobuf to the client
• context.MsgPack(interface{}) sends msgpack format data to the client
• context.ReadProtobuf(ptr) binds request body to a proto message
• context.ReadMsgPack(ptr) binds request body of a msgpack format to a struct
• context.ReadBody(ptr) binds the request body to the "ptr" depending on the request's Method and ContentType
• context.Defer(Handler) works like Party.Done but for the request life-cycle.
• context.ReflectValue() []reflect.Value stores and returns the []reflect.ValueOf(context)
• context.Controller() reflect.Value returns the current MVC Controller value (when fired from inside a controller's method).

Breaking Changes:

• var mvc.AutoBinding removed as the default behavior now resolves such dependencies automatically (see [FEATURE REQUEST] MVC serving gRPC-compatible controller)
• mvc#Application.SortByNumMethods() removed as the default behavior now binds the "thinnest" empty interface{} automatically (see MVC: service injecting fails)
• mvc#BeforeActivation.Dependencies().Add should be replaced with mvc#BeforeActivation.Dependencies().Register instead.

Fr, 13 December 2019 | v12.1.0

Breaking Changes

Minor as many of you don't even use them but, indeed, they need to be covered here.

• Old i18n middleware(iris/middleware/i18n) was replaced by the i18n sub-package which lives as field at your application: app.I18n.Load(globPathPattern string, languages ...string) (see below)
• Community-driven i18n middleware(iris-contrib/middleware/go-i18n) has a NewLoader function which returns a loader which can be passed at app.I18n.Reset(loader i18n.Loader, languages ...string) to change the locales parser
• The Configuration's TranslateFunctionContextKey was replaced by LocaleContextKey which Context store's value (if i18n is used) returns the current Locale which contains the translate function, the language code, the language tag and the index position of it
• The context.Translate method was replaced by context.Tr as a shortcut for the new context.GetLocale().GetMessage(format, args...) method and it matches the view's function {{tr format args}} too
• If you used Iris Django view engine with import _ github.com/flosch/pongo2-addons you must change the import path to _ github.com/iris-contrib/pongo2-addons or add a go mod replace to your go.mod file, e.g. replace github.com/flosch/pongo2-addons => github.com/iris-contrib/pongo2-addons v0.0.1.
