## What's DelphiMVCFramework
|
|
|
|
DMVCFramework is a very popular Delphi framework which provides an easy to use, scalable, flexible [RESTful](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfer), [JSON-RPC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON-RPC) and [ActiveRecord](https://www.martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/activeRecord.html) framework for Delphi developers. DMVCFramework is the **most popular** Delphi project on GitHub and compiles for Windows (32 and 64bit) and Linux (64bit). DMVCFramework services can be compiled as console application, Windows Service, Linux daemon, Apache module (Windows and Linux) and IIS ISAPI (Windows).

For any suggestions, complains or requests there is the official Github book project (https://github.com/danieleteti/dmvcframeworktheofficialguide) where you can fill an issue and get in touch directly with the author.
|
|
|
|
### Book translations
|
|
|
|
Given the success of DMVCFramework in the Delphi community, the official DMVCFramework guide has been translated also in the following languages.
|
|
|
|
- [Brazilian Portuguese](https://leanpub.com/delphimvcframework-br) (Translated by Diego Farisato)
|
|
- [Spanish](https://leanpub.com/delphimvcframework-es) (Translated by Josè Davalos)
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
**Please, if you use DMVCFramework "star" this project in GitHub! It cost nothing to you but helps other developers to reference the code.**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### How to partecipate to DMVCFramework development and/or tests
|
|
|
|
Only if you want to participate to the testing phase (which usually contains brand new features but can sometimes be instable) you can get the development version clonig this repo or downloading the [master repository zip file](https://github.com/danieleteti/delphimvcframework/archive/master.zip).
|
|
Take in mind that even if development version is usually very stable, it isn't not ready for production utilization.

## What's New in DelphiMVCFramework 3.2.1-carbon
|
|
|
|
> This version is the version referenced by the [DelphiMVCFramework - The Official Guide](http://www.danieleteti.it/books/) book (available in english, portuguese and spanish).
|
|
|
|
This version introduced new features in many different areas (swagger, server side view, MVCActiveRecord, renders etc.) however there is no a single-big-feature. This version contains also a good number of bugfixes. It's not a critical updated, but this is the *best version ever* (at least, so far...) and is the suggested version for starting new projects. Enjoy!
|
|
|
|
### Improvements
|
|
|
|
- [docExpansion parameter for Swagger](https://github.com/danieleteti/delphimvcframework/issues/408)
|
|
|
|
- New `Context: TWebContext` parameter in JSON-RPC Hooks
|
|
|
|
```delphi
|
|
{ Called before any actual routing }
|
|
procedure OnBeforeRoutingHook(const Context: TWebContext; const JSON: TJsonObject);
|
|
{ Called after routing and before the actual remote method invocation }
|
|
procedure OnBeforeCallHook(const Context: TWebContext; const JSON: TJsonObject);
|
|
{ Called after actual remote method invocation, even if the method raised an exception }
|
|
procedure OnAfterCallHook(const Context: TWebContext; const JSON: TJsonObject);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- When a JSON-RPC Request returns a `System.Boolean` the `result` will be a JSON `true` or `false` and no `1` or `0` as it was in the `3.2.0-boron`.
|
|
|
|
- `IMVCJSONRPCExecutor.ExecuteNotification` returns a `IJSONRPCResponse`. In case of error response contains information about the error, in case of successful execution the response is a [Null Object](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_object_pattern).
|
|
|
|
- New React demo (Thanks to [Angelo Sobreira da Silva](https://github.com/angelosobreira))
|
|
|
|
- Serialization support for `TList<Integer>`, `TList<String>`, `TList<Boolean>` and for all `TList<T>` of simple types.
|
|
|
|
- Added method `MetadataAsJSONObject(FieldNameCase: TMVCNameCase = ncLowerCase): TJSONObject;` in `TDataSetHelper`. This method returns the dataset field definitions. While this is valid only for Delphi datasets, can be useful to describe a dataset to a Delphi client.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"fielddefs": [
|
|
{
|
|
"datatype": 3,
|
|
"displayname": "ID",
|
|
"fieldname": "id",
|
|
"precision": 0,
|
|
"size": 0
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
"datatype": 24,
|
|
"displayname": "CODE",
|
|
"fieldname": "code",
|
|
"precision": 0,
|
|
"size": 5
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
"datatype": 24,
|
|
"displayname": "DESCRIPTION",
|
|
"fieldname": "description",
|
|
"precision": 0,
|
|
"size": 200
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
"datatype": 37,
|
|
"displayname": "PRICE",
|
|
"fieldname": "price",
|
|
"precision": 18,
|
|
"size": 2
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The static method `class procedure TFireDACUtils.CreateDatasetFromMetadata(
|
|
AFDMemTable: TFDMemTable; AMeta: TJSONObject);` gets the previous structure and initialize the fields of `AFDMemTable` with it. When a TFDMemTable is initialized using this approach, the data can be directly loaded from a jsonarray of jsonobject with the same field names. *WARNING: This mechanism works only for Delphi clients*. Check sample `articles_crud_vcl_client_meta.dproj` to understand the involved mechanisms.
|
|
|
|
- Added `foReadOnly` and `foWriteOnly` as field options in `MVCTableField` attribute (used by `TMVCActiveRecord`). Currently available field options are:
|
|
|
|
- *foPrimaryKey* { it's the primary key of the mapped table }
|
|
- *foAutoGenerated* { not written, read - similar to foReadOnly but is reloaded after insert and update }
|
|
- *foTransient* { never stored nor read - managed only at run-time }
|
|
- *foReadOnly* { not written, read }
|
|
- *foWriteOnly* { written, not read }
|
|
|
|
Now it is possible to declare entities like the followings (or with any other combinations):
|
|
|
|
```delphi
|
|
[MVCNameCase(ncLowerCase)]
|
|
[MVCTable('articles')]
|
|
TArticleWithWriteOnlyFields = class(TCustomEntity)
|
|
private
|
|
[MVCTableField('ID', [foPrimaryKey, foAutoGenerated])]
|
|
fID: NullableInt32;
|
|
[MVCTableField('description', [foWriteOnly])]
|
|
fDescription: string;
|
|
[MVCTableField('price', [foWriteOnly])]
|
|
fPrice: Integer;
|
|
public
|
|
property ID: NullableInt32 read fID write fID;
|
|
property Description: string read fDescription write fDescription;
|
|
property Price: Integer read fPrice write fPrice;
|
|
end;
|
|
|
|
[MVCNameCase(ncLowerCase)]
|
|
[MVCTable('articles')]
|
|
TArticleWithReadOnlyFields = class(TCustomEntity)
|
|
private
|
|
[MVCTableField('ID', [foPrimaryKey, foReadOnly])]
|
|
fID: NullableInt32;
|
|
[MVCTableField('code', [foTransient])]
|
|
fCode: NullableString;
|
|
[MVCTableField('description', [foReadOnly])]
|
|
fDescrizione: string;
|
|
[MVCTableField('price', [foReadOnly])]
|
|
fPrice: Currency;
|
|
public
|
|
property ID: NullableInt32 read fID write fID;
|
|
property Code: NullableString read fCode write fCode;
|
|
property Description: string read fDescription write fDescription;
|
|
property Price: Currency read fPrice write fPrice;
|
|
end;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Added the ability to deserialize an object, or alist of objects, starting from an arbitrary node in the JSON (or other format) present in the request body. Works for `BodyAs<T>` and for `BodyAsListOf<T>` (Thanks to [Raphaël Emourgeon](https://github.com/osaris) for the `BodyAsListOf<T>` [implementation](https://github.com/danieleteti/delphimvcframework/issues/415)).
|
|
|
|
```delphi
|
|
procedure TBooksController.CreateBook;
|
|
var
|
|
lBook: TBook;
|
|
begin
|
|
//this call deserialize a TBook instance
|
|
//starting from the 'book' node of
|
|
//the request body
|
|
lBook := Context.Request.BodyAs<TBook>('book');
|
|
try
|
|
lBook.Insert;
|
|
Render201Created('/api/books/' + lBook.ID.ToString);
|
|
finally
|
|
lBook.Free;
|
|
end;
|
|
end;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Improved the primary key type handling for manual handling in MVCActiveRecord.
|
|
|
|
```delphi
|
|
procedure TMyBaseEntity.OnBeforeInsert;
|
|
begin
|
|
inherited;
|
|
//regardless the name of the PK field
|
|
//the following code fills the PK with a GUID
|
|
//Inheriting the other entities from this, all
|
|
//will inherit this behavior.
|
|
SetPK(TValue.From<NullableString>(TGUID.NewGuid.ToString));
|
|
|
|
//if the PK was a simple string, the code
|
|
//should be like the following
|
|
//SetPK(TGUID.NewGuid.ToString);
|
|
end;
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Improved `activerecord_showcase` sample.
|
|
|
|
- Improved `TMVCStaticFilesMiddleware`. Now is able to correctly serve SPA applications from any subfolder.
|
|
|
|
- Added property `Context.HostingFrameworkType`. This property is of type `TMVCHostingFrameworkType` and can assume one of the following values: `hftIndy` (if the service is using the built-in Indy HTTP server) , `hftApache` (if the project is compiled as Apache module) or `hftISAPI` (if the project is compiled as ISAPI module).
|
|
|
|
- `TMVCNameCase` got the new `ncSnakeCase` among the possibles casing (thanks to [João Antônio Duarte](https://github.com/joaoduarte19) for its work in this area).
|
|
|
|
Now the `TMVCNameCase` declaration is the following:
|
|
|
|
```delphi
|
|
TMVCNameCase = (ncAsIs, ncUpperCase, ncLowerCase, ncCamelCase, ncPascalCase, ncSnakeCase);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Here's how the new `ncSnakeCase` works
|
|
|
|
| Original | SnakeCase |
|
|
| -------- | ---------- |
|
|
| OneTwo | one_two |
|
|
| One__Two | one_two |
|
|
| OneTwo03 | one_two_03 |
|
|
|
|
- Support for [Mustache](https://mustache.github.io/) partials (Thanks to [David Moorhouse](https://github.com/fastbike) and his work about [issue 221](https://github.com/danieleteti/delphimvcframework/issues/221)). Sample *\samples\serversideviews_mustache* has been updated to show how to use partials.
|
|
|
|
- Added dynamic properties access to `TMVCActiveRecord` descendants. Indexed property `Attributes` is index using the property name and set/get a `TValue` representing the property value.
|
|
|
|
```delphi
|
|
procedure TMainForm.btnAttributesClick(Sender: TObject);
|
|
var
|
|
lCustomer: TCustomer;
|
|
lID: Integer;
|
|
begin
|
|
lCustomer := TCustomer.Create;
|
|
try
|
|
lCustomer.Attributes['CompanyName'] := 'Google Inc.';
|
|
lCustomer.Attributes['City'] := 'Montain View, CA';
|
|
lCustomer.Attributes['Note'] := 'Hello there!';
|
|
lCustomer.Attributes['Code'] := 'XX123';
|
|
lCustomer.Attributes['Rating'] := 3;
|
|
lCustomer.Insert;
|
|
lID := lCustomer.ID;
|
|
finally
|
|
lCustomer.Free;
|
|
end;
|
|
|
|
lCustomer := TMVCActiveRecord.GetByPK<TCustomer>(lID);
|
|
try
|
|
Assert('Google Inc.' =
|
|
lCustomer.Attributes['CompanyName']
|
|
.AsType<NullableString>().Value);
|
|
Assert('Montain View, CA' =
|
|
lCustomer.Attributes['City'].AsString);
|
|
Assert('XX123' =
|
|
lCustomer.Attributes['Code']
|
|
.AsType<NullableString>().Value);
|
|
Assert('Hello there!' =
|
|
lCustomer.Attributes['Note'].AsString);
|
|
lCustomer.Update;
|
|
finally
|
|
lCustomer.Free;
|
|
end;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- **Breaking Change**! `TMVCStaticFileMiddleware` cannot be registered to "/" anymore
|
|
|
|
- The suggested solution is to create a simple redirection controller which redirect "/" to the proper path (check [this example](https://github.com/danieleteti/delphimvcframework/blob/master/samples/middleware_staticfiles/SPARedirectController.pas)).
|
|
|
|
- **Breaking Change!** `DocumentRoot` of `TMVCStaticFileMiddleware` must be a valid folder. If `DocumentRoot` doesn't exist an exception is raised.

## Next Release: 3.2.2-nitrogen ("repo" version)
|
|
|
|
- ⚡New `TMVCRESTClient` implementation based on *Net components, the previous one was based on INDY Components (thanks to [João Antônio Duarte](https://github.com/joaoduarte19)).
|
|
- ⚡New! `MVCJSONRPCAllowGET` attribute allows a remote JSON-RPC published object, or a specific method, to be called using GET HTTP Verb as well as POST HTTP Verb. POST is always available, GET is available only if explicitly allowed. `IMVCJSONRPCExecutor` allows to specify which HTTP Verb to use when call the server JSON.RPC methods. The default verb can be injected in the constructor and each `ExecuteRequest`/`ExecuteNotification` allows to override od adhere to the instance default.
|
|
- ⚡Improved! Under some heavy load circumnstances the logger queue can get full. Now `TThreadSafeQueue` class uses a cubic function instead of a linear one to wait in case of very high concurrency. This allows a better resiliency in case of high load.
|
|
- ⚡Improved internal architecture of custom type serializers in case of dynamic linked packages.
|
|
- ⚡New `TMVCLRUCache` implementation. Very efficient implementation of LRU cache borrowed directly from [DMSContainer](http://dmscontainer.bittimeprofessionals.com/)
|
|
- ⚡Improved! Add parameter to set local timeStamp as UTC.
|
|
- ⚡Improved OpenAPI (Swagger) support.
|
|
- ⚡Improved! The unit tests fully test PostgreSQL, FirebirdSQL and SQLite while testing MVCActiveRecord framework. The other engines are tested using `activerecord_showcase` sample project.

|
|
- Improved! Now the router consider `Accept:*/*` compatible for every `MVCProduces` values.
|
|
- Improved! Greatly improved support for [HATEOAS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HATEOAS) in renders. Check `TRenderSampleController.GetPeople_AsObjectList_HATEOS` and all the others actions end with `HATEOS` in `renders.dproj` sample).
|
|
|
|
```delphi
|
|
//Now is really easy to add "links" property automatically for each collection element while rendering
|
|
Render<TPerson>(People, True,
|
|
procedure(const APerson: TPerson; const Links: IMVCLinks)
|
|
begin
|
|
Links.AddRefLink
|
|
.Add(HATEOAS.HREF, '/people/' + APerson.ID.ToString)
|
|
.Add(HATEOAS.REL, 'self')
|
|
.Add(HATEOAS._TYPE, 'application/json')
|
|
.Add('title', 'Details for ' + APerson.FullName);
|
|
Links.AddRefLink
|
|
.Add(HATEOAS.HREF, '/people')
|
|
.Add(HATEOAS.REL, 'people')
|
|
.Add(HATEOAS._TYPE, 'application/json');
|
|
end);
|
|
|
|
|
|
//Datasets have a similar anon method to do the same thing
|
|
Render(lDM.qryCustomers, False,
|
|
procedure(const DS: TDataset; const Links: IMVCLinks)
|
|
begin
|
|
Links.AddRefLink
|
|
.Add(HATEOAS.HREF, '/customers/' + DS.FieldByName('cust_no').AsString)
|
|
.Add(HATEOAS.REL, 'self')
|
|
.Add(HATEOAS._TYPE, 'application/json');
|
|
Links.AddRefLink
|
|
.Add(HATEOAS.HREF, '/customers/' + DS.FieldByName('cust_no').AsString + '/orders')
|
|
.Add(HATEOAS.REL, 'orders')
|
|
.Add(HATEOAS._TYPE, 'application/json');
|
|
end);
|
|
|
|
//Single object rendering allows HATEOAS too!
|
|
Render(lPerson, False,
|
|
procedure(const AObject: TObject; const Links: IMVCLinks)
|
|
begin
|
|
Links.AddRefLink
|
|
.Add(HATEOAS.HREF, '/people/' + TPerson(AObject).ID.ToString)
|
|
.Add(HATEOAS.REL, 'self')
|
|
.Add(HATEOAS._TYPE, TMVCMediaType.APPLICATION_JSON);
|
|
Links.AddRefLink
|
|
.Add(HATEOAS.HREF, '/people')
|
|
.Add(HATEOAS.REL, 'people')
|
|
.Add(HATEOAS._TYPE, TMVCMediaType.APPLICATION_JSON);
|
|
end);
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Better packages organization (check `packages` folder)
|
|
- New! `TMVCActiveRecord.Count` method (e.g. `TMVCActiveRecord.Count(TCustomer)` returns the number of records for the entity mapped by the class `TCustomer`)
|
|
- Change! `TMVCACtiveRecord.GetByPK<T>` raises an exception by default if the record is not found - optionally can returns `nil` using new parameter `RaiseExceptionIfNotFound`
|
|
- New! `contains` clause has been added in the RQL compiler for Firebird and Interbase
|
|
- New! Added support out operator in RQL parser. The RQL out operator is equivalent to the SQL NOT IN operator.
|
|
- New! `TMVCAnalyticsMiddleware` to do automatic analytics on the API (generates a CSV file). Based on an idea by Nirav Kaku (https://www.facebook.com/nirav.kaku). Check the sample in `\samples\middleware_analytics\`
|
|
- New! `TMVCActiveRecord.DeleteAll` deletes all the records from a table
|
|
- New! `TMVCActiveRecord.DeleteRQL` deletes records using an `RQL` expression as `where` clause.
|
|
- New! `TMVCActiveRecord.Store` which automatically executes Insert or Update considering primary key value.
|
|
- New! `TMVCActiveRecord` allows to use table name and field name with spaces (currently supported only by the PostgreSQL compiler).
|
|
- New! Microsoft SQLServer Support in `MVCActiveRecord` and RQL (*thanks to one of the biggest Delphi based company in Italy which heavily uses DMVCFramework* and *[DMSContainer](http://www.bittimeprofessionals.it/prodotti/dmscontainer)*).
|
|
- New! SQLite support in `MVCActiveRecord` and RQL, so that `MVCActiveRecord` can be used also for Delphi mobile projects!
|
|
- Default JSON Serializer can verbatim pass properties with type `JsonDataObjects.TJSONObject` without using `string` as carrier of JSON.
|
|
- Improved! `ActiveRecordShowCase` sample is much better now.
|
|
- Improved! All `ActiveRecord` methods which retrieve records can now specify the data type of each parameter (using Delphi's `TFieldType` enumeration).
|
|
- Improved! In case of unhandled exception `TMVCEngine` is compliant with the default response content-type (usually it did would reply using `text/plain`).
|
|
- Added! New overloads for all the Log\* calls. Now it is possible to call `LogD(lMyObject)` to get logged `lMyObject` as JSON (custom type serializers not supported in log).
|
|
- New! `StrDict(array of string, array of string)` function allows to render a dictionary of strings in a really simple way. See the following action sample.
|
|
|
|
```delphi
|
|
procedure TMy.GetPeople(const Value: Integer);
|
|
begin
|
|
if Value mod 2 <> 0 then
|
|
begin
|
|
raise EMVCException.Create(HTTP_STATUS.NotAcceptable, 'We don''t like odd numbers');
|
|
end;
|
|
Render(
|
|
StrDict(
|
|
['id', 'message'],
|
|
['123', 'We like even numbers, thank you for your ' + Value.ToString]
|
|
));
|
|
end;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- New! Custom Exception Handling (Based on work of [David Moorhouse](https://github.com/fastbike)). Sample *custom_exception_handling* show how to use it.
|
|
- Improved! Exceptions rendering while using MIME types different to `application/json`.
|
|
- SSL Server support for `TMVCListener` (Thanks to [Sven Harazim](https://github.com/landrix)).
|
|
- Improved! Datasets serialization speed improvement. In some case the performance [improves of 2 order of magnitude](https://github.com/danieleteti/delphimvcframework/issues/205#issuecomment-479513158). (Thanks to https://github.com/pedrooliveira01).
|
|
- New! Added `in` operator in RQL parser (Thank you to [João Antônio Duarte](https://github.com/joaoduarte19) for his initial work on this).
|
|
- New! Added `TMVCActiveRecord.Count<T>(RQL)` to count record based on RQL criteria.
|
|
- New! `TMVCActiveRecord` can handle non autogenerated primary key.
|
|
- New! Added support for `X-HTTP-Method-Override` to work behind corporate firewalls.
|
|
- New Sample! Server in DLL
|
|
- Added new method in the dataset helper to load data into a dataset from a specific JSONArray property of a JSONObject `procedure TDataSetHelper.LoadJSONArrayFromJSONObjectProperty(const AJSONObjectString: string; const aPropertyName: String);`
|
|
- Improved! New constants defined in `HTTP_STATUS` to better describe the http status response.
|
|
- Improved! Now Firebird RQL' SQLGenerator can include primary key in `CreateInsert` if not autogenerated.
|
|
- New! Added support for `TArray<String>`, `TArray<Integer>` and `TArray<Double>` in default JSON serializer (Thank you [Pedro Oliveira](https://github.com/pedrooliveira01))
|
|
- Improved JWT Standard Compliance! Thanks to [Vinicius Sanchez](https://github.com/viniciussanchez) for his work on [issue #241](https://github.com/danieleteti/delphimvcframework/issues/241)
|
|
- Improved! DMVCFramework now has 180+ unit tests that checks its functionalities at each build!
|
|
- Improved! Better exception handling in `OnBeforeDispatch` (Thanks to [Spinettaro](https://github.com/spinettaro))
|
|
- New! `StrToJSONObject` function to safely parse a string into a JSON object.
|
|
- New! Serialization callback for custom `TDataSet` descendants serialization in `TMVCJsonDataObjectsSerializer`.
|
|
|
|
```delphi
|
|
procedure TMainForm.btnDataSetToJSONArrayClick(Sender: TObject);
|
|
var
|
|
lSer: TMVCJsonDataObjectsSerializer;
|
|
lJArray: TJSONArray;
|
|
begin
|
|
FDQuery1.Open();
|
|
lSer := TMVCJsonDataObjectsSerializer.Create;
|
|
try
|
|
lJArray := TJSONArray.Create;
|
|
try
|
|
lSer.DataSetToJsonArray(FDQuery1, lJArray, TMVCNameCase.ncLowerCase, [],
|
|
procedure(const aField: TField; const aJsonObject: TJSONObject; var Handled: Boolean)
|
|
begin
|
|
if SameText(aField.FieldName, 'created_at') then
|
|
begin
|
|
aJsonObject.S['year_and_month'] := FormatDateTime('yyyy-mm', TDateTimeField(aField).Value);
|
|
Handled := True;
|
|
end;
|
|
end);
|
|
//The json objects will not contains "created_at" anymore, but only "year_and_month".
|
|
Memo1.Lines.Text := lJArray.ToJSON(false);
|
|
finally
|
|
lJArray.Free;
|
|
end;
|
|
finally
|
|
lSer.Free;
|
|
end;
|
|
end;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- New! Shortcut render' methods which simplify RESTful API development
|
|
|
|
- `procedure Render201Created(const Location: String = ''; const Reason: String = 'Created'); virtual;`
|
|
- ` procedure Render202Accepted(const HREF: String; const ID: String; const Reason: String = 'Accepted'); virtual;`
|
|
- `procedure Render204NoContent(const Reason: String = 'No Content'); virtual;`
|
|
|
|
- Added de/serializing iterables (e.g. generic lists) support without `MVCListOf` attribute (Thank you to [João Antônio Duarte](https://github.com/joaoduarte19)).
|
|
|
|
It is now possible to deserialize a generic class like this:
|
|
|
|
```delphi
|
|
TGenericEntity<T: class> = class
|
|
private
|
|
FCode: Integer;
|
|
FItems: TObjectList<T>;
|
|
FDescription: string;
|
|
public
|
|
constructor Create;
|
|
destructor Destroy; override;
|
|
property Code: Integer read FCode write FCode;
|
|
property Description: string read FDescription write FDescription;
|
|
// MVCListOf(T) <- No need
|
|
property Items: TObjectList<T> read FItems write FItems;
|
|
end;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Before it was not possible because you should add the `MVCListOf` attribute to the `TObjectList` type property.
|
|
|
|
- New! Added serialization support for (thanks to [dockerandy](https://github.com/dockerandy) for his initial work)
|
|
|
|
- `TArray<String>`
|
|
- `TArray<Integer>`
|
|
- `TArray<Int64>`
|
|
- `TArray<Double>`
|
|
|
|
- New! The **MVCAREntitiesGenerator** can optionally register all the generated entities also in the `ActiveRecordMappingRegistry` (Thanks to [Fabrizio Bitti](https://twitter.com/fabriziobitti) from [bit Time Software](http://www.bittime.it))
|
|
|
|
- New! Experimental (alpha stage) support for Android servers!
|
|
|
|
- New! Children objects lifecycle management in `TMVCActiveRecord` (methods `AddChildren` and `RemoveChildren`). Really useful to manage child objects such relations or derived properties and are safe in case of multiple addition of the same object as children.
|
|
|
|
```delphi
|
|
//Having the following declaration
|
|
|
|
type
|
|
[MVCNameCase(ncCamelCase)]
|
|
[MVCTable('authors')]
|
|
TAuthor = class(TPersonEntityBase)
|
|
private
|
|
fBooks: TEnumerable<TBookRef>;
|
|
[MVCTableField('full_name')]
|
|
fFullName: string;
|
|
function GetBooks: TEnumerable<TBookRef>;
|
|
public
|
|
[MVCNameAs('full_name')]
|
|
property FullName: string read fFullName write fFullName;
|
|
property Books: TEnumerable<TBookRef> read GetBooks;
|
|
end;
|
|
|
|
|
|
//method GetBooks can be implemented as follows:
|
|
|
|
implementation
|
|
|
|
function TAuthor.GetBooks: TEnumerable<TBookRef>;
|
|
begin
|
|
if fBooks = nil then
|
|
begin
|
|
fBooks := TMVCActiveRecord.Where<TBookRef>('author_id = ?', [ID]);
|
|
AddChildren(fBooks); //fBooks will be freed when self will be freed
|
|
end;
|
|
Result := fBooks;
|
|
end;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- **JSON-RPC Improvements**
|
|
|
|
- New! Added `TMVCJSONRPCExecutor.ConfigHTTPClient` to fully customize the inner `THTTPClient` (e.g. `ConnectionTimeout`, `ResponseTimeout` and so on)
|
|
|
|
- Improved! JSONRPC Automatic Object Publishing can not invoke inherited methods if not explicitly defined with `MVCInheritable` attribute.
|
|
|
|
- New! Calling `<jsonrpcendpoint>/describe` returns the methods list available for that endpoint.
|
|
|
|
- New! Full support for named parameters in JSON-RPC call (server and client)
|
|
|
|
- Positional parameters example
|
|
|
|
```delphi
|
|
procedure TMainForm.btnSubtractClick(Sender: TObject);
|
|
var
|
|
lReq: IJSONRPCRequest;
|
|
lResp: IJSONRPCResponse;
|
|
begin
|
|
lReq := TJSONRPCRequest.Create;
|
|
lReq.Method := 'subtract';
|
|
lReq.RequestID := Random(1000);
|
|
lReq.Params.Add(StrToInt(edtValue1.Text));
|
|
lReq.Params.Add(StrToInt(edtValue2.Text));
|
|
lResp := FExecutor.ExecuteRequest(lReq);
|
|
edtResult.Text := lResp.Result.AsInteger.ToString;
|
|
end;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Named parameters example
|
|
|
|
```delphi
|
|
procedure TMainForm.btnSubtractWithNamedParamsClick(Sender: TObject);
|
|
var
|
|
lReq: IJSONRPCRequest;
|
|
lResp: IJSONRPCResponse;
|
|
begin
|
|
lReq := TJSONRPCRequest.Create;
|
|
lReq.Method := 'subtract';
|
|
lReq.RequestID := Random(1000);
|
|
lReq.Params.AddByName('Value1', StrToInt(Edit1.Text));
|
|
lReq.Params.AddByName('Value2', StrToInt(Edit2.Text));
|
|
lResp := FExecutor.ExecuteRequest(lReq);
|
|
Edit3.Text := lResp.Result.AsInteger.ToString;
|
|
end;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Check [official JSONRPC 2.0 documentation](https://www.jsonrpc.org/specification#examples) for more examples.
|
|
|
|
- New! JSONRPC Hooks for published objects
|
|
|
|
```delphi
|
|
//Called before as soon as the HTTP arrives
|
|
procedure TMyPublishedObject.OnBeforeRouting(const JSON: TJDOJsonObject);
|
|
|
|
//Called before the invoked method
|
|
procedure TMyPublishedObject.OnBeforeCall(const JSONRequest: TJDOJsonObject);
|
|
|
|
//Called just before to send response to the client
|
|
procedure TMyPublishedObject.OnBeforeSendResponse(const JSONResponse: TJDOJsonObject);
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- **Deprecated!** `TDataSetHolder` is deprecated! Use the shining new `ObjectDict(boolean)` instead.
|
|
|
|
- New! **ObjectDict** function is the suggested way to render all the most common data types. It returns a `IMVCObjectDictionary` which is automatically rendered by the renders. Check the `renders.dproj` sample. Here's some example of the shining new `ObjectDict()`.
|
|
|
|
**Example 1: Rendering a list of objects not freeing them after rendering**
|
|
|
|
*Classic*
|
|
|
|
```delphi
|
|
procedure TRenderSampleController.GetLotOfPeople;
|
|
begin
|
|
Render<TPerson>(GetPeopleList, False);
|
|
end;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
*New approach with ObjectDict*
|
|
|
|
```delphi
|
|
procedure TRenderSampleController.GetLotOfPeople;
|
|
begin
|
|
Render(ObjectDict(False).Add('data', GetPeopleList));
|
|
end;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Example 2: Rendering a list of objects and automatically free them after rendering**
|
|
|
|
*Classic*
|
|
|
|
```delphi
|
|
procedure TRenderSampleController.GetLotOfPeople;
|
|
begin
|
|
Render<TPerson>(GetPeopleList);
|
|
end;
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
*New approach with ObjectDict*
|
|
|
|
```delphi
|
|
procedure TRenderSampleController.GetLotOfPeople;
|
|
begin
|
|
Render(ObjectDict().Add('data', GetPeopleList));
|
|
end;
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Example 3: Rendering a list of objects adding links for HATEOAS support**
|
|
|
|
*Classic*
|
|
|
|
```delphi
|
|
procedure TRenderSampleController.GetPeople_AsObjectList_HATEOAS;
|
|
var
|
|
p: TPerson;
|
|
People: TObjectList<TPerson>;
|
|
begin
|
|
People := TObjectList<TPerson>.Create(True);
|
|
|
|
{$REGION 'Fake data'}
|
|
p := TPerson.Create;

p.DOB := EncodeDate(1883, 1, 5);
|
|
p.Married := True;
|
|
People.Add(p);
|
|
|
|
{$ENDREGION}
|
|
|
|
Render(ObjectDict().Add('data', People,
|
|
procedure(const APerson: TObject; const Links: IMVCLinks)
|
|
begin
|
|
Links
|
|
.AddRefLink
|
|
.Add(HATEOAS.HREF, '/people/' + TPerson(APerson).ID.ToString)
|
|
.Add(HATEOAS.REL, 'self')
|
|
.Add(HATEOAS._TYPE, 'application/json')
|
|
.Add('title', 'Details for ' + TPerson(APerson).FullName);
|
|
Links
|
|
.AddRefLink
|
|
.Add(HATEOAS.HREF, '/people')
|
|
.Add(HATEOAS.REL, 'people')
|
|
.Add(HATEOAS._TYPE, 'application/json');
|
|
end));
|
|
end;
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`ObjectDict` is able to render multiple data sources (datasets, objectlists, objects or StrDict) at the same time using different casing, HATEOAS callbacks and modes.
|
|
|
|
```delphi
|
|
procedure TTestServerController.TestObjectDict;
|
|
var
|
|
lDict: IMVCObjectDictionary;
|
|
begin
|
|
lDict := ObjectDict(false)
|
|
.Add('ncUpperCase_List', GetDataSet, nil, dstAllRecords, ncUpperCase)
|
|
.Add('ncLowerCase_List', GetDataSet, nil, dstAllRecords, ncLowerCase)
|
|
.Add('ncCamelCase_List', GetDataSet, nil, dstAllRecords, ncCamelCase)
|
|
.Add('ncPascalCase_List', GetDataSet, nil, dstAllRecords, ncPascalCase)
|
|
.Add('ncUpperCase_Single', GetDataSet, nil, dstSingleRecord, ncUpperCase)
|
|
.Add('ncLowerCase_Single', GetDataSet, nil, dstSingleRecord, ncLowerCase)
|
|
.Add('ncCamelCase_Single', GetDataSet, nil, dstSingleRecord, ncCamelCase)
|
|
.Add('ncPascalCase_Single', GetDataSet, nil, dstSingleRecord, ncPascalCase)
|
|
.Add('meta', StrDict(['page'], ['1']));
|
|
Render(lDict);
|
|
end;
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
>ObjectDict is the suggested way to renders data. However, the other ones are still there and works as usual.
|
|

|
- Added ability to serialize/deserialize types enumerated by an array of mapped values (Thanks to [João Antônio Duarte](https://github.com/joaoduarte19)).
|
|
|
|
```delphi
|
|
type
|
|
TMonthEnum = (meJanuary, meFebruary, meMarch, meApril);
|
|
|
|
TEntityWithEnums = class
|
|
private
|
|
FMonthMappedNames: TMonthEnum;
|
|
FMonthEnumName: TMonthEnum;
|
|
FMonthOrder: TMonthEnum;
|
|
public
|
|
// List items separated by comma or semicolon
|
|
[MVCEnumSerializationType(estEnumMappedValues,
|
|
'January,February,March,April')]
|
|
property MonthMappedNames: TMonthEnum
|
|
read FMonthMappedNames write FMonthMappedNames;
|
|
[MVCEnumSerializationType(estEnumName)]
|
|
property MonthEnumName: TMonthEnum
|
|
read FMonthEnumName write FMonthEnumName;
|
|
[MVCEnumSerializationType(estEnumOrd)]
|
|
property MonthOrder: TMonthEnum read FMonthOrder write FMonthOrder;
|
|
end;
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- New Installation procedure!

|
|
|
- Open the project group (select the correct one from the following table)
|
|
- Build all
|
|
- Install the design-time package (`dmvcframeworkDT`)
|
|
- Add the following paths in the Delphi Library Path (here, `C:\DEV\dmvcframework` is the `dmvcframework` main folder)
|
|
- `C:\DEV\dmvcframework\sources`
|
|
- `C:\DEV\dmvcframework\lib\loggerpro`
|
|
- `C:\DEV\dmvcframework\lib\swagdoc\Source`
|

#### Breaking Changes in 3.2.0-boron
|
|
|
|
- In `MVCActiveRecord` attribute `MVCPrimaryKey` has been removed and merged with `MVCTableField`, so now `TMVCActiveRecordFieldOption` is a set of `foPrimaryKey`, `foAutoGenerated`, `foTransient` (check `activerecord_showcase.dproj` sample).
|
|
|
|
- Middleware `OnAfterControllerAction` are now invoked in the same order of `OnBeforeControllerAction` (previously were invoked in reversed order).
|
|
|
|
- `TMVCEngine` is no more responsible for static file serving. If you need static files used the new `TMVCStaticFilesMiddleware` (check the sample). As consequence `TMVCConfigKey.DocumentRoot`, `TMVCConfigKey.IndexDocument` and `TMVCConfigKey.FallbackResource` are no more available.
|
|
|
|
- `TMVCEngine.Config` property is now read-only. Can be changed only in the anonymous method injected in the constructor.
|
|
|
|
```delphi
|
|
// This is valid
|
|
////////////////////////////////////////
|
|
FMVC := TMVCEngine.Create(Self,
|
|
procedure(Config: TMVCConfig)
|
|
begin
|
|
// session timeout (0 means session cookie)
|
|
Config[TMVCConfigKey.SessionTimeout] := '0';
|
|
//Other Configurations
|
|
end);
|
|
FMVC.AddController(TMyController);
|
|
|
|
|
|
// This is not valid (exception is raised)
|
|
/////////////////////////////////////////
|
|
|
|
FMVC := TMVCEngine.Create(Self);,
|
|
FMVC.Config[TMVCConfigKey.SessionTimeout] := '0'; {run-time error here}
|
|
FMVC.AddController(TMyController);
|
|
|
|
```

## Roadmap
|
|
|
|
DelphiMVCFramework roadmap is always updated as-soon-as the features planned are implemented. Check the roadmap [here](roadmap.md).
|
|
|
|
## Trainings, consultancy or custom development service
|
|
As you know, good support on open source software is a must for professional users.
|
|
If you need trainings, consultancy or custom developments on DelphiMVCFramework, send an email to *dmvcframework at bittime dot it*. Alternatively you can send a request using the [contacts forms](http://www.bittimeprofessionals.it/contatti) on [bit Time Professionals website](http://www.bittimeprofessionals.it). bit Time Professionals is the company behind DelphiMVCFramework, all the main developers works there.
|
|
|
|
## Samples and documentation
|
|
DMVCFramework is provided with a lot of examples focused on specific functionality.
|
|
All samples are in [Samples](samples) folder.
|
|
|
|
# Getting Started: 5 minutes guide
|
|
|
|
DMVCFramework allows to create powerful RESTful servers without effort. You can create a full-flagged RESTful server in a couple of clicks.
|
|
|
|
## DelphiMVCFramework Installation
|
|
|
|
- DMVCFramework *must* be installed using the [Github release](https://github.com/danieleteti/delphimvcframework/releases/tag/v3_2_0_boron). Download the zip file
|
|
|
|
- Unzip it the release zip in a folder named `C:\dmvc` (or where you prefer).
|
|
|
|
- Launch RAD Studio and open `C:\dmvc\packages\d104\dmvcframework_group.groupproj`
|
|
|
|
> WARNING! In the last path shown "d104" is for Delphi 10.4 Sydney. Use the correct package for your Delphi version.
|
|
|
|
- Install the package and close all
|
|
|
|
- Now, DMVCFramework expert is installed and you are able to create DMVCFramework project. Go to go to `File->New->Other` select `Delphi Project->DMVC->DelphiMVCFramework Project`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- From the resultant dialog, leave all the default settings and click `OK`
|
|
- If you try to compile the project now, you will get compiler errors because we've to configure the library paths to let the compiler finds the needed source files
|
|
- go to `Tools->Options->Language->Delphi->Library` and add in the `Library Path` the following paths:
|
|
- C:\DMVC\sources
|
|
- C:\DMVC\lib\dmustache
|
|
- C:\DMVC\lib\loggerpro
|
|
- C:\DMVC\lib\swagdoc\Source
|
|
- Run the project (F9)
|
|
- Now, a new console application is running serving you first DMVCFramework server.
|
|
- Simple, isn't it?
|
|
- The wizard generated controller shown some basic setup and some actions. You can start from here to create your application. Use the huge number of sample to understand how each DMVCFramwork feature work.
|
|
|
|
## Sample Controller
|
|
|
|
Below a basic sample of a DMVCFramework controller with 2 action
|
|
|
|
```delphi
|
|
unit UsersControllerU;
|
|
|
|
interface
|
|
|
|
uses
|
|
MVCFramework;
|
|
|
|
type
|
|
[MVCPath('/users')]
|
|
TUsersController = class(TMVCController)
|
|
public
|
|
|
|
//The following action will be with a GET request like the following
|
|
//http://myserver.com/users/3
|
|
[MVCPath('/($id)')]
|
|
[MVCProduces('application/json')]
|
|
[MVCHTTPMethod([httpGET])]
|
|
[MVCDoc('Returns a user as a JSON object')]
|
|
procedure GetUser(id: Integer);
|
|
|
|
|
|
//The following action will be with a GET request like the following
|
|
//http://myserver.com/users
|
|
[MVCPath('/')]
|
|
[MVCProduces('application/json')]
|
|
[MVCHTTPMethod([httpGET])]
|
|
[MVCDoc('Returns the users list as a JSON Array of JSON Objects')]
|
|
procedure GetUsers;
|
|
|
|
//The following action will be with a PUT request like the following
|
|
//http://myserver.com/users/3
|
|
//and in the request body there should be a serialized TUser
|
|
[MVCPath('/($id)')]
|
|
[MVCProduce('application/json')]
|
|
[MVCHTTPMethod([httpPUT])]
|
|
[MVCDoc('Update a user')]
|
|
procedure UpdateUser(id: Integer);
|
|
|
|
//The following action will respond to a POST request like the following
|
|
//http://myserver.com/users
|
|
//and in the request body there should be the new user to create as json
|
|
[MVCPath]
|
|
[MVCProduce('application/json')]
|
|
[MVCHTTPMethod([httpPOST])]
|
|
[MVCDoc('Create a new user, returns the id of the new user')]
|
|
procedure CreateUser;
|
|
|
|
end;
|
|
|
|
implementation
|
|
|
|
uses
|
|
MyTransactionScript; //contains actual data access code
|
|
|
|
{ TUsersController }
|
|
|
|
procedure TUsersController.GetUsers;
|
|
var
|
|
Users: TObjectList<TUser>;
|
|
begin
|
|
Users := GetUsers;
|
|
Render(Users);
|
|
end;
|
|
|
|
procedure TUsersController.GetUser(id: Integer);
|
|
var
|
|
User: TUser;
|
|
begin
|
|
User := GetUserById(id);
|
|
Render(User);
|
|
end;
|
|
|
|
procedure TUsersController.UpdateUser(id: Integer);
|
|
var
|
|
User: TUser;
|
|
begin
|
|
User := Context.Request.BodyAs<TUser>;
|
|
UpdateUser(id, User);
|
|
Render(User);
|
|
end;
|
|
|
|
procedure TUsersController.CreateUser;
|
|
var
|
|
User: TUser;
|
|
begin
|
|
User := Context.Request.BodyAs<TUser>;
|
|
CreateUser(User);
|
|
Render(User);
|
|
end;
|
|
|
|
end.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now you have a performant RESTful server wich respond to the following URLs:
|
|
- GET /users/($id) (eg. /users/1, /users/45 etc)
|
|
- PUT /users/($id) (eg. /users/1, /users/45 etc with the JSON data in the request body)
|
|
- POST /users (the JSON data must be in the request body)
|
|
|
|
## How to create a dmvcframework servers container
|
|
|
|
If you don't plan to deploy your DMVCFramework server behind a webserver (apache or IIS) you can also pack more than one listener application server into one single executable. In this case, the process is a bit different and involves the creation of a listener context. However, create a new server is a simple task:
|
|
|
|
```delphi
|
|
uses
|
|
MVCFramework.Server,
|
|
MVCFramework.Server.Impl;
|
|
|
|
var
|
|
LServerListener: IMVCListener;
|
|
begin
|
|
LServerListener := TMVCListener.Create(TMVCListenerProperties.New
|
|
.SetName('Listener1')
|
|
.SetPort(5000)
|
|
.SetMaxConnections(1024)
|
|
.SetWebModuleClass(YourServerWebModuleClass)
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
LServerListener.Start;
|
|
LServerListener.Stop;
|
|
end;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want to add a layer of security (in its WebModule you should add the security middleware):
|
|
|
|
```delphi
|
|
uses
|
|
MVCFramework.Server,
|
|
MVCFramework.Server.Impl,
|
|
MVCFramework.Middleware.Authentication;
|
|
|
|
procedure TTestWebModule.WebModuleCreate(Sender: TObject);
|
|
begin
|
|
FMVCEngine := TMVCEngine.Create(Self);
|
|
|
|
// Add Yours Controllers
|
|
FMVCEngine.AddController(TYourController);
|
|
|
|
// Add Security Middleware
|
|
FMVCEngine.AddMiddleware(TMVCBasicAuthenticationMiddleware.Create(
|
|
TMVCDefaultAuthenticationHandler.New
|
|
.SetOnAuthentication(
|
|
procedure(const AUserName, APassword: string;
|
|
AUserRoles: TList<string>; var IsValid: Boolean;
|
|
const ASessionData: TDictionary<String, String>)
|
|
begin
|
|
IsValid := AUserName.Equals('dmvc') and APassword.Equals('123');
|
|
end
|
|
)
|
|
));
|
|
end;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In stand alone mode you can work with a context that supports multiple listeners servers:
|
|
|
|
```delphi
|
|
uses
|
|
MVCFramework.Server,
|
|
MVCFramework.Server.Impl;
|
|
|
|
var
|
|
LServerListenerCtx: IMVCListenersContext;
|
|
|
|
begin
|
|
LServerListenerCtx := TMVCListenersContext.Create;
|
|
|
|
LServerListenerCtx.Add(TMVCListenerProperties.New
|
|
.SetName('Listener1')
|
|
.SetPort(6000)
|
|
.SetMaxConnections(1024)
|
|
.SetWebModuleClass(WebModuleClass1)
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
LServerListenerCtx.Add(TMVCListenerProperties.New
|
|
.SetName('Listener2')
|
|
.SetPort(7000)
|
|
.SetMaxConnections(1024)
|
|
.SetWebModuleClass(WebModuleClass2)
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
LServerListenerCtx.StartAll;
|
|
end;
|
|
```
|

# RQL Introduction
|
|
|
|
Resource Query Language (RQL) is a query language designed for use in URIs with object style data structures. DMVCFramework supports RQL natively and the included MVCActiveRecord micro-framework, implement a large subset of the RQL specs.
|
|
|
|
RQL can be thought as basically a set of nestable named operators which each have a set of arguments. RQL is designed to have an extremely simple, but extensible grammar that can be written in a URL friendly query string. A simple RQL query with a single operator that indicates a search for any resources with a property of "foo" that has value of 5 could be written:
|
|
|
|
```SPARQL
|
|
eq(foo,5)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A more complex filter can include an arbitrary number of chained functions
|
|
|
|
```SPARQL
|
|
or(and(eq(name,"daniele"),eq(surname,"teti")),and(eq(name,"peter"),eq(surname,"parker"));sort(+name)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Which is translated (details depends from the RDBMS) in the following SQL.
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
select
|
|
name, surname {other fields}
|
|
from
|
|
people
|
|
where
|
|
(name = "daniele" and surname = "teti")
|
|
or
|
|
(name="peter" and surname = "parker")
|
|
order by
|
|
name asc
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### RQL as Implemented by DMVCFramework
|
|
|
|
RQL is designed for modern application development. It is built for the web, ready for NoSQL, and highly extensible with simple syntax.
|
|
|
|
Here is a definition of the common operators as implemented in DMVCFramework' ActiveRecord:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
eq(<property>,<value>) - Filters for objects where the specified property's value is equal to the provided value
|
|
lt(<property>,<value>) - Filters for objects where the specified property's value is less than the provided value
|
|
le(<property>,<value>) - Filters for objects where the specified property's value is less than or equal to the provided value
|
|
gt(<property>,<value>) - Filters for objects where the specified property's value is greater than the provided value
|
|
ge(<property>,<value>) - Filters for objects where the specified property's value is greater than or equal to the provided value
|
|
ne(<property>,<value>) - Filters for objects where the specified property's value is not equal to the provided value
|
|
and(<query>,<query>,...) - Applies all the given queries
|
|
or(<query>,<query>,...) - The union of the given queries
|
|
sort(<+|-><property) - Sorts by the given property in order specified by the prefix (+ for ascending, - for descending)
|
|
limit(count,start,maxCount) - Returns the given range of objects from the result set
|
|
contains(<property>,<value | expression>) - Filters for objects where the specified property's value is an array and the array contains any value that equals the provided value or satisfies the provided expression.
|
|
in(<property>,<array-of-values>) - Filters for objects where the specified property's value is in the provided array
|
|
out(<property>,<array-of-values>) - Filters for objects where the specified property's value is not in the provided array
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Not Yet Availables**
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
select(<property>,<property>,...) - Trims each object down to the set of properties defined in the arguments
|
|
values(<property>) - Returns an array of the given property value for each object
|
|
aggregate(<property|function>,...) - Aggregates the array, grouping by objects that are distinct for the provided properties, and then reduces the remaining other property values using the provided functions
|
|
distinct() - Returns a result set with duplicates removed
|
|
excludes(<property>,<value | expression>) - Filters for objects where the specified property's value is an array and the array does not contain any of value that equals the provided value or satisfies the provided expression.
|
|
rel(<relation name?>,<query>) - Applies the provided query against the linked data of the provided relation name.
|
|
sum(<property?>) - Finds the sum of every value in the array or if the property argument is provided, returns the sum of the value of property for every object in the array
|
|
mean(<property?>) - Finds the mean of every value in the array or if the property argument is provided, returns the mean of the value of property for every object in the array
|
|
max(<property?>) - Finds the maximum of every value in the array or if the property argument is provided, returns the maximum of the value of property for every object in the array
|
|
min(<property?>) - Finds the minimum of every value in the array or if the property argument is provided, returns the minimum of the value of property for every object in the array
|
|
recurse(<property?>) - Recursively searches, looking in children of the object as objects in arrays in the given property value
|
|
first() - Returns the first record of the query's result set
|
|
one() - Returns the first and only record of the query's result set, or produces an error if the query's result set has more or less than one record in it.
|
|
count() - Returns the count of the number of records in the query's result set
|
|
