// src/initializers/view_engine.rs
async fn after_routes(&self, router: AxumRouter, _ctx: &AppContext) -> Result<AxumRouter> {
    #[allow(unused_mut)]
    let mut tera_engine = engines::TeraView::build()?;
    if std::path::Path::new(I18N_DIR).exists() {
        let arc = ArcLoader::builder(&I18N_DIR, unic_langid::langid!("en-US"))
            .shared_resources(Some(&[I18N_SHARED.into()]))
            .customize(|bundle| bundle.set_use_isolating(false))
            .build()
            .map_err(|e| Error::string(&e.to_string()))?;
        #[cfg(debug_assertions)]
        tera_engine
            .tera
            .lock()
            .expect("lock")
            .register_function("t", FluentLoader::new(arc));

        #[cfg(not(debug_assertions))]
        tera_engine
            .tera
            .register_function("t", FluentLoader::new(arc));
        info!("locales loaded");
    }

    Ok(router.layer(Extension(ViewEngine::from(tera_engine))))
}

loco doctor now checks for app-specific minimum dependency versions. This should help in upgrades. doctor also supports "production only" checks which you can run in production with loco doctor --production. This, for example, will check your connections but will not check dependencies. #931
Use a single loco-rs dep for a whole project. #927
chore: fix generated testcase. #939
chore: Correct cargo test message. #938
Add relevant meta tags for better defaults. #943
Update cli message with correct command. #942
remove lazy_static. #941
change update HTTP verb semantics to put+patch. #919
Fixed HTML scaffold error. #960
Scaffolded HTML update method should be POST. #963

v0.12.0

This release have been primarily about cleanups and simplification.

Please update:

loco-rs
loco-cli

Changes:

generators (BREAKING): all prefixes in starters (e.g. /api) are now local to each controller, and generators will be prefix-aware (--api generator will add an /api prefix to controllers) #818

To migrate, please move prefixes from app.rs to each controller you use in controllers/, for example in notes controller:

Routes::new()
    .prefix("api/notes")
    .add("/", get(list))

starters: removed .devcontainer which can now be found in loco-devcontainer
starters: removed example notes scaffold (model, controllers, etc), and unified user and auth into a single file: auth.rs
generators: scaffold generator will now generate a CRUD with PUT and PATCH semantics for updating an entity #896
cleanup: loco-extras was moved out of the repo, but we've incorporated MultiDB and ExtraDB from extras into loco-rs #917
cargo loco doctor now checks for minimal required SeaORM CLI version
BREAKING Improved migration generator. If you have an existing migration project, add the following comment indicator to the top of the vec statement and right below the opening bracked like so in migration/src/lib.rs:

    fn migrations() -> Vec<Box<dyn MigrationTrait>> {
        vec![
            // inject-below (do not remove this comment)

v0.10.1

Format(respond_to): Format extractor in controller can now be replaced with respond_to: RespondTo extractor for less typing.
When supplying data to views, you can now use data! instead of serde_json::json! for shorthand.
Refactor middlewares. #785. Middleware selection, configuration, and tweaking is MUCH more powerful and convenient now. You can keep the middleware: section empty or remove it now, see more in the middleware docs
NEW (BREAKING) background worker subsystem is now queue agnostic. Providing for both Redis and Postgres with a change of configuration. This means you can now use a full-Postgres stack to remove Redis as a dependency if you wish. Here are steps to migrate your codebase:

// in your app.rs, change the worker registration code:

// BEFORE
fn connect_workers<'a>(p: &'a mut Processor, ctx: &'a AppContext) {
    p.register(DownloadWorker::build(ctx)); 
}

// AFTER
async fn connect_workers(ctx: &AppContext, queue: &Queue) -> Result<()>{
    queue.register(DownloadWorker::build(ctx)).await?;
    Ok(())
}

// in your app.rs, replace the `worker` module references.
// REMOVE
worker::{AppWorker, Processor},
// REPLACE WITH
bgworker::{BackgroundWorker, Queue},

// in your workers change the signature, and add the `build` function

// BEFORE
impl worker::Worker<DownloadWorkerArgs> for DownloadWorker {
    async fn perform(&self, args: DownloadWorkerArgs) -> worker::Result<()> {

// AFTER
#[async_trait]
impl BackgroundWorker<DownloadWorkerArgs> for DownloadWorker {
    fn build(ctx: &AppContext) -> Self {
        Self { ctx: ctx.clone() }
    }
    async fn perform(&self, args: DownloadWorkerArgs) -> Result<()> {
  
// Finally, remove the `AppWorker` trait implementation completely.

// REMOVE
impl worker::AppWorker<DownloadWorkerArgs> for DownloadWorker {
    fn build(ctx: &AppContext) -> Self {
        Self { ctx: ctx.clone() }
    }
}

Finally, update your development.yaml and test.yaml with a kind:

queue:
  kind: Redis  # add this to the existing `queue` section

UPGRADED (BREAKING): validator crate was upgraded which require some small tweaks to work with the new API:

// BEFORE:
#[validate(custom = "validation::is_valid_email")]
pub email: String,

// AFTER:
#[validate(custom (function = "validation::is_valid_email"))]
pub email: String,

Then update your Cargo.toml to take version 0.18:

# update
validator = { version = "0.18" }

UPGRADED (BREAKING): axum-test crate was upgraded Update your Cargo.toml to version 16:

# update
axum-test = { version = "16" }

v0.9.0

Add fallback behavior. #732
Add Scheduler Feature for Running Cron Jobs. #735
Add --html, --htmx and --api flags to scaffold CLI command. #749
Add base template for scaffold generation. #752
Connect Redis only when the worker is BackgroundQueue. #755
Add loco doctor --config. #736
Rename demo: blo -> demo_app. #741

v0.8.1

fix: introduce secondary binary for compile-and-run on Windows. #727

v0.8.0

Added: loco-cli (loco new) now receives options from CLI and/or interactively asks for configuration options such as which asset pipeline, background worker type, or database provider to use.
Fix: custom queue names now merge with default queues.
Added remote_ip middleware for resolving client remote IP when under a proxy or loadbalancer, similar to the Rails remote_ip middleware.
Added secure_headers middleware for setting secure headers by default, similar to how https://github.com/github/secure_headers works. This is now ON by default to promote security-by-default.
Added: money, blob types to entitie generator.

0.7.0

Moving to timezone aware timestamps. From now on migrations will generate timestamps with time zone by default. Moving to TZ aware timestamps in combination with newly revamped timestamp code generation in SeaORM v1.0.0 finally allows for seamlessly moving between using sqlite and postgres with minimal or no entities code changes (resolved this long standing issue). TZ aware timestamps also aligns us with how Rails works today (initially Rails had a no-tz timestamps, and today the default is to use timestamps). If not specified the TZ is the server TZ, which is usually UTC, therefore semantically this is almost like a no-tz timestamp.

A few highlights:

Generated entities will now always use DateTimeWithTimeZone for the default timestamp fields:

...
Generating users.rs
    > Column `created_at`: DateTimeWithTimeZone, not_null
    > Column `updated_at`: DateTimeWithTimeZone, not_null
...

For better cross database provider compatibility, from now on prefer the tstz type instead of just ts when using generators (i.e. cargo loco generate model movie released:tstz)

remove eyer lib. #650

Breaking Changes:
1. Update the Main Function in src/bin/main
```
Replace the return type of the main function:

**Before:**
```rust
async fn main() -> eyre::Result<()>
```

**After:**
```rust
async fn main() -> loco_rs::Result<()>
```
```
1. Modify examples/playground.rs You need to apply two changes here:
  
  a. Update the Function Signature Before:
```
async fn main() -> eyre::Result<()>
```
  After:
```
async fn main() -> loco_rs::Result<()>
```
  b. Adjust the Context Handling Before:
```
let _ctx = playground::<App>().await.context("playground")?;
```
  After:
```
let _ctx = playground::<App>().await?;
```
Note, If you are using eyre in your project, you can continue to do so. We have only removed this crate from our base code dependencies.

- Replaced model::query::dsl:: with model::query.
- Replaced model::query::exec::paginate with model::query::paginate.
- Updated the PaginatedResponse struct. Refer to its usage example here.
Breaking changes When introducing the Cache system which is much more flexible than having just Redis, we now call the 'redis' member simply a 'queue' which indicates it should be used only for the internal queue and not as a general purpose cache. In the application configuration setting redis, change to queue. #590

# before:
redis:
# after:
queue:

Breaking changes We have made a few parts of the context pluggable, such as the storage and new cache subsystems, this is why we decided to let you configure the context entirely before starting up your app. As a result, if you have a storage building hook code it should move to after_context, see example here. #570

v0.4.0

Refactored model validation for better developer experience. Added a few traits and structs to loco::prelude for a smoother import story. Introducing Validatable:

impl Validatable for super::_entities::users::ActiveModel {
    fn validator(&self) -> Box<dyn Validate> {
        Box::new(Validator {
            name: self.name.as_ref().to_owned(),
            email: self.email.as_ref().to_owned(),
        })
    }
}

// now you can call `user.validate()` freely

Refactored type field mapping to be centralized. Now model, scaffold share the same field mapping, so no more gaps like #513 (e.g. when calling loco generate model title:string the ability to map string into something useful in the code generation side) NOTE the _integer class of types are now just _int, e.g. big_int, so that it correlate with the int field name in a better way
Adding to to quiery dsl is_in and is_not_in. #507

Added: in your configuration you can now use an initializers: section for initializer specific settings

# Initializers Configuration
initializers:
# oauth2:
#   authorization_code: # Authorization code grant type
#     - client_identifier: google # Identifier for the OAuth2 provider. Replace 'google' with your provider's name if different, must be unique within the oauth2 config.
#       ... other fields

Docs: fix schema data types mapping. #506
Let Result accept other errors. #505
Allow trailing slashes in URIs by adding the NormalizePathLayer. #481
BREAKING Move from Result<impl IntoResponse> to Result<Response>. This enables much greater flexibility building APIs, where with Result<Response> you mix and match response types based on custom logic (returning JSON and HTML/String in the same route).
Added: mime responders similar to respond_to in Rails:

Use the Format extractor
Match on respond_to
Create different content for different response formats

The following route will always return JSON, unless explicitly asked for HTML with a Content-Type: text/html (or Accept: ) header:

pub async fn get_one(
    Format(respond_to): Format,
    Path(id): Path<i32>,
    State(ctx): State<AppContext>,
) -> Result<Response> {
    let item = load_item(&ctx, id).await?;
    match respond_to {
        RespondTo::Html => format::html(&format!("<html><body>{:?}</body></html>", item.title)),
        _ => format::json(item),
    }
}

Add: Breaking changes Supply AppContext to routes Hook. Migration steps in src/app.rs:

// src/app.rs: add app context to routes function
impl Hooks for App {
  ...
  fn routes(_ctx: &AppContext) -> AppRoutes;
  ...
}

Add: Breaking changes change parameter type from &str to &Environment in src/app.rs

// src/app.rs: change parameter type for `environment` from `&str` to `&Environment`
impl Hooks for App {
    ...
    async fn boot(mode: StartMode, environment: &Environment) -> Result<BootResult> {
        create_app::<Self>(mode, environment).await
    }
    ...

Added: setting cookies:

format::render()
    .cookies(&[
        cookie::Cookie::new("foo", "bar"),
        cookie::Cookie::new("baz", "qux"),
    ])?
    .etag("foobar")?
    .json(notes)

v0.1.9

Adding pagination on Models. #238
Adding compression middleware. #205 Added support for compression middleware. usage:

middlewares:
  compression:
    enable: true

Create a new Database from the CLI. #223

Fix generator when users adding a created_at or update_at fields. #214
Add: format::render which allows a builder-like formatting, including setting etag and ad-hoc headers
Add: Etag middleware, enabled by default in starter projects. Once you set an Etag it will check for cache headers and return 304 if needed. To enable etag in your existing project:

#...
  middlewares:
    etag:
      enable: true

usage:

  format::render()
      .etag("foobar")?
      .json(Entity::find().all(&ctx.db).await?)

Authentication: Added API Token Authentication!

See #217 Now when you generate a saas starter or rest api starter you will get additional authentication methods for free:
Added: authentication added -- api authentication where each user has an API token in the schema, and you can authenticate with Bearer against that user.
Added: authentication added -- JWTWithUser extractor, which is a convenience for resolving the authenticated JWT claims into a current user from database

migrating an existing codebase

Add the following to your generated src/models/user.rs:

#[async_trait]
impl Authenticable for super::_entities::users::Model {
    async fn find_by_api_key(db: &DatabaseConnection, api_key: &str) -> ModelResult<Self> {
        let user = users::Entity::find()
            .filter(users::Column::ApiKey.eq(api_key))
            .one(db)
            .await?;
        user.ok_or_else(|| ModelError::EntityNotFound)
    }

    async fn find_by_claims_key(db: &DatabaseConnection, claims_key: &str) -> ModelResult<Self> {
        super::_entities::users::Model::find_by_pid(db, claims_key).await
    }
}

Update imports in this file to include model::Authenticable:

use loco_rs::{
    auth, hash,
    model::{Authenticable, ModelError, ModelResult},
    validation,
    validator::Validate,
};

v0.1.8

Added: loco version for getting an operable version string containing logical crate version and git SHA if available: 0.3.0 (<git sha>)

To migrate to this behavior from earlier versions, it requires adding the following to your app.rs app hooks:

    fn app_version() -> String {
        format!(
            "{} ({})",
            env!("CARGO_PKG_VERSION"),
            option_env!("BUILD_SHA")
                .or(option_env!("GITHUB_SHA"))
                .unwrap_or("dev")
        )
    }

Reminder: loco --version will give you the current Loco framework which your app was built against and loco version gives you your app version.

Added: loco generate migration for adding ad-hoc migrations
Added: added support in model generator for many-to-many link table generation via loco generate model --link
Docs: added Migration section, added relations documentation 1:M, M:M
Adding .devcontainer to starter projects #170

Braking changes: Adding Hooks::boot application. Migration steps:

// Load boot::{create_app, BootResult, StartMode} from loco_rs lib
// Load migration: use migration::Migrator; Only when using DB
// Adding boot hook with the following code
impl Hooks for App {
  ...
  async fn boot(mode: StartMode, environment: &str) -> Result<BootResult> {
    // With DB:
    create_app::<Self, Migrator>(mode, environment).await
    // Without DB:
    create_app::<Self>(mode, environment).await
  }
  ...
}
