Buffalo@v0.14.7

Please read through the notes to see what is new, what has been improved, and most importantly, what might be breaking changes for existing applications.

In addition to what is listed here, it is recommended that you read the CHANGELOG for a complete list of what has changed since v0.14.6.

How to Upgrade

Pre-built Binaries

The easiest solution is to download one of the pre-built binaries:

https://github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo/releases/tag/v0.14.7

Using Go Get

$ go get -u github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo/buffalo

From Source

$ go get github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo
$ git checkout tags/v0.14.7 -b v0.14.7
$ make install

Once you have an upgraded binary you can run the following command to attempt to upgrade your application from v0.14.6 to v0.14.7.

$ buffalo fix

Note: While we have done our best to make this update command work well, please understand that it might not get you to a complete upgrade depending on your application and its complexities, but it will get you pretty close.

Middler Interface

The gobuffalo/buffalo#Middler interface allows gobuffalo/buffalo#Resource implementations to provide additional custom gobuffalo/buffalo#MiddlewareFunc to the those already configured for the application

// Middler allows Resource implementations to provide
// additional custom Middleware to the those already
// configured.
type Middler interface {
  Use() []MiddlewareFunc
}

 func (w WidgetResource) AuthMW(next buffalo.Handler) buffalo.Handler {
   return func(c buffalo.Context) error {
     // do work
     return next(c)
  }
}

func (w WidgetResource) Use() []MiddlewareFunc {
  mw := []buffalo.MiddlewareFunc{
    w.AuthMW,
  }

  mw = append(mw, func(next buffalo.Handler) buffalo.Handler {
  return func(c buffalo.Context) error {
      // do work
      return next(c)
    }
  })

  return mw
}

Plugins Moved Into Core

The gobuffalo/buffalo-plugins package, and binary, have been moved into the core gobuffalo/buffalo repository.

This does not mean that plugins like gobuffalo/buffalo-pop or gobuffalo/buffalo-heroku are going to be brought into core.

We are pulling in the tool chain that third-party plugins use to develop with.

    "github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo/plugins/plugcmds"
    "github.com/markbates/buffalo-coke/coke"
)

var Available = plugcmds.NewAvailable()

func init() {
    Available.Add("root", cokeCmd)
    Available.Listen(coke.Listen)
    Available.Mount(rootCmd)
}

    Available.Listen(coke.Listen)

}

        "github.com/markbates/buffalo-coke/coke"
    )
    ... // 9 identical lines
    """
  )

Template File Extensions

In an effort to make future versions of Buffalo more extensible in regards to file processors and templating systems, Buffalo has introduced multiple file extensions, similar to Rails.

In this release, when running buffalo fix, all .html files in the templates/ directory will be renamed to .plush.html. All files generated by Buffalo will also have these extensions.

Custom Asset Pipeline Commands

This release replaces the hard coded Webpack commands (dev & build) with standard package.json scripts which can be called with either NPM or Yarn.

The new applications will be generated with the following new section in the package.json:

"scripts": {
    "build": "webpack -p --progress",
    "dev": "webpack --watch"
}

Buffalo will then call yarn run build (or npm run build) when you call buffalo build; and it will call yarn run dev (or npm run dev) when you call buffalo dev. This allows you to customize the scripts Buffalo calls on these steps, providing custom arguments to the Webpack command or even running your own tool chain instead.

If the build or dev scripts can't be found, Buffalo will fall back on the old behavior running the hard coded Webpack commands.

Buffalo Plugin Cache Improvements

When running buffalo fix on an existing application the Buffalo plugins cache will be cleared to prevent issues with out of date caches.

The cache will also now only store plugins that can provide a successful available sub-command.

Breaking Changes

Minimum Go Version

In Go 1.12 the Go team introduced a go 1.x directive for go.mod files. Unfortunately this does not work on versions of Go <1.11.4. Because of this issue if you are using a version less than 1.11.4 then it is recommended you update as soon as possible.

When Go 1.13 is released 1.11.x will reach end of life for support of Buffalo projects.
