dry-transaction v0.10.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2017-06-14 // almost 7 years ago
  • πŸš€ This release makes major changes to the dry-transaction API: transactions are now defined within your own class, support instance methods for defining or wrapping steps, and operation containers are now optional.

    βž• Added

    • βž• Added Dry::Transaction::Operation convenience mixin. This gives easy access to Right and Left result builders within your operation objects, and also enables dry-matcher's block-based result matching API for when the operations are called individually. (timriley in #58)

      class MyOperation
        include Dry::Transaction::Operation
      
        def call(input)
          Right(input)
        end
      end
      
      my_op = MyOperation.new
      my_op.("hello") do |m|
        m.success do |v|
          "Success: #{v}
        end
        m.failure do |v|
          "Failure: #{v}"
        end
      end
      # => "Success: hello"
      

    πŸ”„ Changed

    • [BREAKING] Transactions are now defined within your own classes using a mixin & class-level API for step definitions (GustavoCaso & timriley in #58)

      class CreateUser
        include Dry::Transaction(container: Container)
      
        step :process, with: "operations.process"
        step :validate, with: "operations.validate"
        step :persist, with: "operations.persist"
      end
      
      create_user = CreateUser.new
      create_user.call("name" => "Jane Doe")
      

    Instance methods can wrap operations by calling super:

    ```ruby
    class CreateUser
      include Dry::Transaction(container: Container)
    
      step :process, with: "operations.process"
      step :validate, with: "operations.validate"
      step :persist, with: "operations.persist"
    
      def process(input)
        adjusted_input = do_something_with(input)
        super(adjusted_input)
      end
    end
    ```
    

    Substitute operations can be injected when initializing objects (helpful for testing):

    ```ruby
    create_user = CreateUser.new(process: substitute_process_operation)
    ```
    
    • Transactions can be defined without an operations container, using instance methods only.

      class CreateUser
        include Dry::Transaction
      
        step :process
        step :validate
      
        def process(input)
          input = do_something_with(input)
          Right(input)
        end
      
        def validate(input)
          if input[:email].include?("@")
            Right(input)
          else
            Left(:not_valid)
          end
        end
      end
      
    • πŸ— [BREAKING] You can no longer extend existing transactions with #prepend, #append, #insert, or #remove. Since transactions will now be instances of your own classes, with their own different behaviors, there’s no predictable way to combine the behaviors of two different classes. If you need the ability to add or remove steps, you can create separate transactions for the different behaviours you need to offer, or build into your own transaction class a way to skip steps based on input or step arguments.

    • πŸ‘€ [BREAKING] Blocks in step definitions are no longer accepted. If you want to wrap a step with some local behavior, wrap it with an instance method (see above).

    • πŸ”§ [BREAKING] There is no longer an option for configuring the result matcher block API - we now use Dry::Transaction::ResultMatcher by default. If you want to provide your own matcher, you can do this by overriding #call in your transaction classes and using your own matcher when a block is given.
