Change log

5.1.1

Patch Changes

** CHANGED **

• added more verbose message with a troubleshooting guide in case that the getLogger method was not able to retrieve the logger instance.

** FIXED **

• changed level property to verbosity in the LoggerConfig interface.

5.1.0

Minor Changes

• ADDED The middleware application now offers a robust logger instance accessible across various parts of the system, including extensions, integrations, hooks, and API methods. This provides greater flexibility for logging critical events and errors throughout the application lifecycle. For more information, see the Logger guide.

5.0.1

Patch Changes

• FIXED a potential XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) vulnerability in the middleware. Now, each parameter is properly sanitized and validated before being used in the middleware.

5.0.0

Major Changes

• CHANGED BREAKING Changed return type of createServer() from Express to Server (from built-in node:http package). Both of those types' interfaces have the .listen() method with the same shape. In some older templates for starting the middleware (middleware.js in your repo) you come across:

async function runMiddleware(app: Express) {

If you're using that older template, please change the Express type to Server:

+ import { Server } from "node:http"
+ async function runMiddleware(app: Server) {
- async function runMiddleware(app: Express) {

• ADDED New GET /readyz endpoint for middleware for using with Kubernetes readiness probes. Please see https://docs.alokai.com/middleware/guides/readiness-probes for more information

4.3.1

Patch Changes

• FIX Rollback the changes to the ApiMethodsFactory config generic type. It was causing incompatibility for some older packages.

4.3.0

Minor Changes

• ADDED Added factory function for the extension API. Previously the extension API was an object with a set of methods. Now it can be created using a factory function the same way as the base API.

Previously only object was allowed:

export const extension: ApiClientExtension = {
  name: "extension",
  extendApiMethods: {
    ...extendedMethods, //methods as an object
  },
};

Now you can either use an object or a factory function:

export const extension: ApiClientExtension = {
  name: "extension",
  // methods as a factory function with injected config object
  extendApiMethods: ({ config }) => {
    return createMyMethods(config);
  },
};

4.2.0

Minor Changes

• ADDED Provided easy access to methods added by middleware extensions via the context.extendedApi property.

const extensionA = {
  name: 'extensionA',
  extendApiMethods: {
    methodA: async () => { ... }
  }
}

const extensionB = {
  name: 'extensionB',
  extendApiMethods: {
    methodB: async () => { ... }
  }
}

const extensionC = {
  name: 'extensionC',
  extendApiMethods: {
    methodC: async (context) => {
      context.extendedApi.methodA();
      context.extendedApi.extensionB.methodB();
    }
  }
}

4.1.0

Minor Changes

• CHANGED Middleware extension hooks and the onCreate function can now be asynchronous. Examples:

// middleware.config.ts
const middlewareExtension = {
  name: "example-extension",
  hooks: () => ({
    beforeCreate: async ({ configuration }) => Promise.resolve(configuration),
    afterCreate: async ({ configuration }) => Promise.resolve(configuration),
    beforeCall: async ({ args }) => Promise.resolve(args),
    afterCall: async ({ response }) => Promise.resolve(response),
  }),
};

// index.server.ts
import { apiClientFactory } from "@vue-storefront/middleware";

const { createApiClient } = apiClientFactory({
  onCreate: async (config) =>
    Promise.resolve({
      config,
      client: {},
    }),
  api: {},
});

export { createApiClient };

4.0.1

Patch Changes

• CHANGED Fix typo in default error handler Now the default error message for error responses bearing a 4xx status code will be "Request failed with status code ${status}" instead of "Request faileds ...".

4.0.0

Major Changes

• CHANGED Changed minimum Node version from 16 to 18. The condition that was forcing the Node version to be lower than 19 is also removed.

3.10.0

Minor Changes

• ADDED Options as a second parameter of createServer. This allows you to pass additional options to cors, body-parser and cookie-parser express middlewares.

import { createServer } from "@vue-storefront/middleware";
import config from "../middleware.config";

createServer(config, {
  cors: {
    origin: "http://localhost:3000",
    credentials: true,
  },
  bodyParser: {
    limit: "50mb",
  },
  cookieParser: {
    secret: "secret",
  },
});

• ADDED http://localhost:4000 to the default cors origin.

3.9.0

Minor Changes

• 712ba85a6: ADDED Adds WithoutContext type helper.

  type ApiClientMethods = {
    getProduct: (context: any, id: string) => Promise<Product>;
  };
  
  type Endpoints = WithoutContext<ApiClientMethods>;
  

3.8.1

Patch Changes

• c4534b523: CHANGED Returning HTTP Code 408 in case of ECONNABORTED from 3rd party service, and 500 in case of ECONNRESET instead of general fallback to HTTP Code 500, to provide more precise information about the case.

3.8.0

Minor Changes

• 1e9fe5366: It is now possible to add namespaced extensions to integrations. Namespaced extensions are registered under /{integration-name}/{extension-name} extension of integration's namespace in opposition to non-namespaced extensions which are registered under /{integration-name} integration's namespace. Default value is false. Extensions without a namespace can potentially override existing endpoints, so it's recommended to use namespaced extensions whenever possible.
  Read more about extensions in our docs.
