[0.14.2] - 2025-04-08​

Changed​

  • Replaced yarn with pnpm

[0.14.1] - 2025-04-02​

Added​

  • @quatico/magellan-shared: Now supports context management across service calls by providing event-based context updates using ClientContextChangedEvent.
  • @quatico/magellan-client: New ClientContextHandler for managing client-side context. It enables storing and retrieving per-namespace context information (e.g., a request identifier or custom header which should be provided to each remoteInvoke call). Also, if registered the ClientContextHandler listens for context updates propagated using the ClientContextChangedEvent.

[0.14.0] - 2025-03-29​

Added​

  • @quatico/magellan-shared: New Context system with generic interfaces for client and server contexts
  • @quatico/magellan-addons: Validation for service function imports to ensure both Context and Serialization are properly imported

Changed​

  • BREAKING: @quatico/magellan-shared: Removed ExecutionContext type
  • BREAKING: @quatico/magellan-client and @quatico/magellan-server: Removed the Context interface
  • BREAKING: @quatico/magellan-addons: Removed TransformationArguments interface
  • @quatico/magellan-addons: Updated transformer implementations to validate required imports
  • @quatico/magellan-addons: Reformed client transformer to produce context-aware service function calls
  • @quatico/magellan-addons: Reformed server transformer to handle context parameters

Fixed​

  • @quatico/magellan-addons: Enforced proper imports for service functions to prevent runtime errors
  • @quatico/magellan-addons: Fixed error handling in transformer functions
  • @quatico/magellan-client and @quatico/magellan-server: Fixed headers assignment in network requests to correctly use client headers

This update represents a significant overhaul of the context management system, enabling better type safety and separation of client and server concerns. BREAKING: Service functions now require explicit imports for Context and Serialization types, and transformers validate these requirements.

[0.13.0] - 2025-02-20​

Changed​

  • Breaking Change: All dependencies apart from @quatico/magellan-cli have all their dependencies move from bundled to peer dependencies.
  • Breaking Change: @quatico/magellan-addons: client-function-transform - now removes all code from generated/transformed client-side service function files that are not the service functions themselves. This includes all imports, exported and non-exported code.
  • @quatico/magellan-addons: client-function-transform - changed behaviour. functionsDir is no longer required. All source files are checked for @service() decorators.
  • @quatico/magellan-addons: serivce-function-generate - changed behaviour. functionsDir is no longer required. All source files are checked for @service() decorators.

[0.12.0] - 2025-02-14​

Fixed​

  • Breaking Change: Removed short options from CLI commands. Fixes bug when using -p for both --project and --port. Use long options --project <path> and --port <port> instead.

Changed​

  • Breaking Change: Only Node.js 18 or higher is supported.
  • Upgraded @quatico/websmith-* dependencies to 0.6.3
  • Upgraded commander to 12.1.0
  • Upgraded minimist to 1.2.8

Removed​

  • Removed node-fetch as a dependency as Node.js 18 and above have it built-in.
  • Removed form-data as a dependency as Node.js 18 and above have it built-in.
  • Removed morgan as it was not used.

[0.11.2] - 2024-11-15​

Added​

  • Created a new package @quatico/magellan-starter containing templates for different frontend frameworks. The package contains a binary create-magellan that guides the user through the process of scaffolding the template in a directory of choice. Currently, the following templates are available:
    • react-typescript-webpack: a simple React application using Typescript and Webpack

[0.11.0] - 2024-11-15​

Fixed​

  • formdata-fetch: improved endpoint validation for absolute and relative urls. Invalid URLs now throw an exception.

Changed​

  • Breaking Change: The functions addTransport and addTransportIfAbsent have been removed from the public API. Please use setTransport instead. setTransport will replace the transport handler if it already exists, or add it if it does not.
  • Breaking Change: The functions addNamespace and addNamespaceIfAbsent have been removed from the public API. Please use setNamespace instead. setNamespace will replace the namespace mapping if it already exists, or add it if it does not.
  • Breaking Change: The function applyExecutionContext has been removed from the public API.

[0.10.0] - 2024-09-20​

Fixed​

  • Fixes resolveNamespace with custom namespace input returning default namespace and transport if custom namespace could not be resolved. The function now throws an error that the configuration for the custom namespace could not be found.

  • Support for BigInt serialization and deserialization.

[0.6.2] - 2024-03-25​

[0.6.1]​

Changed​

  • Upgraded TypeScript dependency to 5.0.x
  • Upgraded @quatico/websmith-* dependencies to 0.4.0
  • Made the client transformation code more strict. Throws an error during the code generation if the client function accepts a destructured object or a function as parameter.

Removed​

  • Removed packages/java focusing the project on nodejs.
  • Removed unused code and dependencies.

[0.3.0]​

Added​

  • Support for merge: true in @quatico/magellan-client/transport/config.js to merge the configuration with the existing configuration of a previous magellan-client frontend instead of replacing it.

Changed​

  • Updates @quatico/magellan-client documentation to current transport configuration.

[0.2.2] - 2023-02-26​

  • service functions throwing errors now yield a console.error with the error stack on the client if the server is not in production mode.
