Release Notes

2.4.2

Changed

  • Pin starlette version to 0.32.0.post1

2.4.1

Fix

  • Regression when performing a model_dump of pydantic models in the responses.
  • Re-enable orjson for generic response parsing.

2.4.0

Changed

  • Updated SwaggerUI version.
  • Updated responses with a msgspec response example.

Added

  • Support for payload as alternative to data. This aims to make the process more intuitive and easy to implement. #199.
  • Context - The new context object for the handlers.
  • Support for msgspec natively allowing to have more than just Pydantic.

Note

Esmerald is not fully tight with Pydantic which means it's more flexible and extendible and allows more versatility.

Fixed

  • Missing Request document.
  • Removed the use of random for the secrets in favour of the secrets library instead.
  • Contrib documentation updates regarding the Authorization headers.

2.3.1

Fixed

  • Middleware as an independent ASGI app on an Include level.

Warning

This was supposed to go in the release 2.3.0 but it was not merged on time to make the release.

2.3.0

Changed

  • OpenAPI fields are permanently moved to OpenAPIConfig making the codebase cleaner. The options are still available via settings in case of wanting to override the defaults but not via instantiation parameters. Via instantiation the OpenAPIConfig is the one to be used.

Warning

This is a breaking change. The functionality itself still works as it is supposed to but from now on instead of passing via Esmerald instance, you need to pass the variables via OpenAPIConfig. object instead.

Added

  • Annotated for documentation generators.
  • Add new documentation structure for Esmerald base.
  • Add API Reference . #196

Fixed

  • Allow tags for levels. When a tag is added to an Include, Gateway, or any other level, the tags are appended to the final handler. This allows inheriting from existing tags for OpenAPI.
  • Middleware on levels treating each level as an independent ASGI app.

2.2.0

Changed

  • Updated OpenAPIConfig documentation.
  • Deprecate v1. Esmerald prior to version 2.0 is no longer supported.

Added

Fixed

  • OpenAPI security was not working as intended.

2.1.0

Changed

  • Update base requirements and pydantic to 2.4.

Added

  • New Factory added for dependency injection allowing to pass any time via Factory instantiation. PR #163 by @ShahriyarR.
  • Support for Mongoz showcasing how to integrate Esmerald with an ODM (MongoDB).
  • Documentation about how to use Esmerald contrib with Mongoz.

Fixed

  • Typos in the documentation.
  • Pydantic 2.4 compatibility and updating to new names for the functions.

2.0.6

Changed

  • Updated requirements for Pydantic and Starlette.
  • Removed unnecessary dependencies.

Added

  • Support for async has_permission on Permissions.
  • Add new landing page.

Fixed

  • email-validator error being thrown from openapi-schemas-pydantic requirement.

2.0.5

Changed

  • Updated the way esmerald client operates internally.
  • Updated internal minimum requirements.

Fix

  • Regression in OpenAPI when adding middleware to Gateway or HTTPHandler. When a middleware was added, the OpenAPI would not generate the docs for it. The API would still work but not OpenAPI docs.

2.0.4

Changed

  • Updated functional internal crypto to only use the system random.
  • Cleaner codebase for the application settings.
  • Updated version of Asyncz to be at least 0.5.0.

Added

  • Custom exception handlers, from esmerald.exception_handlers import value_error_handler.
  • New native exception handler for pydantic v2 Validation errors in general.
  • Dataclasses (normal and Pydantic dataclases) are now supported as Esmerald Responses.
  • Support for OpenAPI Webhooks.
  • Improved Responses documentation with examples using Pydantic BaseModel and dataclasses.
  • OpenAPI Spotlight Elements documentation. When starting the application, accesing the default /docs/elements.
  • Support for Edgy ORM. Docs here.

Fixed

  • Removed old pydantic v1 syntax from tests and applications.
  • add_include() that wasn't generating signature models upon import.
  • OpenAPI query params with defaults weren't loading properly.

2.0.3

Note

This addition was supposed to go in the release 2.0.2 but somehow it was missed in the merge of the pull requests. It is not a bug fix but instead is a simple new directive that can be useful for those who like using the command-line.

It is important to understand that this support won't be available on releases of Esmerald 1.X.

Added

2.0.2

Changed

  • Updated Field, Form and Body from esmerald.params with current defaults.
  • Removed redundant cast from File to Body as it is a subclass.

Added

  • Added strict and max_digits esmerald params esmerald.params.
  • Deprecate example as OpenAPI 3.10 supports examples. Use examples instead of example.

Fixed

  • UploadFile sending as a list and as normal. This got broken when the migration to pydantic 2.0 happened.
  • File and Form from esmerald.params now accept annotation.
  • OpenAPI for UploadFile as single and list now being parsed as a model.

2.0.1

This is a small fix into the parser of lists for the OpenAPI specification.

Fixed

2.0.0

Warning

When upgrading Esmerald to version 2, this also means the use of Pydantic 2.0 at its core as well as corresponsing technologies already updated to version 2 of Pydantic (Saffier, Asyncz...). If you still wish to continue to use Pydantic 1 with Esmerald, it is recommended to use Esmerald prior to version 2.0 which it will be maintained for a shor period but we strongly recommend to always use the latest version.

  • Major update of the core of Esmerald from Pydantic v1 to Pydantic v2.
  • ResponseSpecification renamed to OpenAPIResponse, from esmerald.openapi.datastructures import OpenAPIResponse.
  • Changed deprecated functions such as validator and root_validator to field_validator and model_validator.
  • Transformers no longer support custom fields. Pydantic natively handles that.
  • EsmeraldSignature updated for the new version of the FieldInfo.
  • params reflect the new Pydantic FieldInfo.
  • Deprecated OpenAPIView in favour of the new OpenAPI documentation generator.
  • Changed OpenAPI config to reflect the new generation of OpenAPI documentation.
  • Internal data field is now returning Body type parameter making it easier to integrate with Pydantic 2.0.
  • General codebase cleanup.
  • Removed old OpenAPI document generator in favour to the newest, fastest, simplest and more effective approach in v2.
  • Remove the support of pydantic 1.0. Esmerald 2+ will only support pydantic 2+.

Added

  • OpenAPI support for OAuth2.

Fixed

  • FileResponse stat_result and Stream iterator typing.
  • Fix typing across the whole codebase.
  • Transformers are now generating Param fields directly.
  • Updated fields in favour of the new pydantic model_fields approach.

1.2.0

Changed

  • Updated native requirements of the project.

      • esmerald createpapp <NAME>

Added

  • Support for Ruff.
  • New esmerald core admin management directives #83.

Fixed

  • New Starlette Lifespan #75. This is now also available to be done in the same way Starlette does. Internally Esmerald also implements the on_startup and on_shutdown but that is an unique implementation. This implementation follows the same pattern as the official Starlette Bridge

1.0.0

Changed

  • ChildEsmerald now supports the parent which means it can share middlewares and interceptors across main application and children.

    Note

    Prior to version 1.0.0, sharing resources between Esmerald and ChildEsmerald was not allowed and it needed to be treated as completely isolated application. In the version 1.0.0 you can still isolate them but you can also share resources.

    This is the feature for the esmerald ecosystem that allows you to create plugins and extensions for any application as well as distribute them as installable packages.

  • New base_user and middleware support for Saffier with Esmerald.
  • New docs regarding the Saffier integration. Those include also an example how to use it.

Changed
