actix-web/MIGRATION.md

## Unreleased


## 3.0.0

* The return type for `ServiceRequest::app_data::<T>()` was changed from returning a `Data<T>` to
  simply a `T`. To access a `Data<T>` use `ServiceRequest::app_data::<Data<T>>()`.

* Cookie handling has been offloaded to the `cookie` crate:
  * `USERINFO_ENCODE_SET` is no longer exposed. Percent-encoding is still supported; check docs.
  * Some types now require lifetime parameters.

* The time crate was updated to `v0.2`, a major breaking change to the time crate, which affects
  any `actix-web` method previously expecting a time v0.1 input.

* Setting a cookie's SameSite property, explicitly, to `SameSite::None` will now
  result in `SameSite=None` being sent with the response Set-Cookie header.
  To create a cookie without a SameSite attribute, remove any calls setting same_site.

* actix-http support for Actors messages was moved to actix-http crate and is enabled 
  with feature `actors`

* content_length function is removed from actix-http.
  You can set Content-Length by normally setting the response body or calling no_chunking function. 

* `BodySize::Sized64` variant has been removed. `BodySize::Sized` now receives a
  `u64` instead of a `usize`.

* Code that was using `path.<index>` to access a `web::Path<(A, B, C)>`s elements now needs to use
  destructuring or `.into_inner()`. For example:

  ```rust
  // Previously:
  async fn some_route(path: web::Path<(String, String)>) -> String {
    format!("Hello, {} {}", path.0, path.1)
  }

  // Now (this also worked before):
  async fn some_route(path: web::Path<(String, String)>) -> String {
    let (first_name, last_name) = path.into_inner();
    format!("Hello, {} {}", first_name, last_name)
  }
  // Or (this wasn't previously supported):
  async fn some_route(web::Path((first_name, last_name)): web::Path<(String, String)>) -> String {
    format!("Hello, {} {}", first_name, last_name)
  }
  ```

* `middleware::NormalizePath` can now also be configured to trim trailing slashes instead of always keeping one.
  It will need `middleware::normalize::TrailingSlash` when being constructed with `NormalizePath::new(...)`,
  or for an easier migration you can replace `wrap(middleware::NormalizePath)` with `wrap(middleware::NormalizePath::new(TrailingSlash::MergeOnly))`.

* `HttpServer::maxconn` is renamed to the more expressive `HttpServer::max_connections`.

* `HttpServer::maxconnrate` is renamed to the more expressive `HttpServer::max_connection_rate`.


## 2.0.0

* `HttpServer::start()` renamed to `HttpServer::run()`. It also possible to
  `.await` on `run` method result, in that case it awaits server exit.

* `App::register_data()` renamed to `App::app_data()` and accepts any type `T: 'static`.
  Stored data is available via `HttpRequest::app_data()` method at runtime.

* Extractor configuration must be registered with `App::app_data()` instead of `App::data()`

* Sync handlers has been removed. `.to_async()` method has been renamed to `.to()`
  replace `fn` with `async fn` to convert sync handler to async

* `actix_http_test::TestServer` moved to `actix_web::test` module. To start
  test server use `test::start()` or `test_start_with_config()` methods

* `ResponseError` trait has been reafctored. `ResponseError::error_response()` renders
  http response.

* Feature `rust-tls` renamed to `rustls`

  instead of

    ```rust
    actix-web = { version = "2.0.0", features = ["rust-tls"] }
    ```

  use

    ```rust
    actix-web = { version = "2.0.0", features = ["rustls"] }
    ```

* Feature `ssl` renamed to `openssl`

  instead of

    ```rust
    actix-web = { version = "2.0.0", features = ["ssl"] }
    ```

  use

    ```rust
    actix-web = { version = "2.0.0", features = ["openssl"] }
    ```
* `Cors` builder now requires that you call `.finish()` to construct the middleware

## 1.0.1

* Cors middleware has been moved to `actix-cors` crate

  instead of

  ```rust
  use actix_web::middleware::cors::Cors;
  ```

  use

  ```rust
  use actix_cors::Cors;
  ```

* Identity middleware has been moved to `actix-identity` crate

  instead of

  ```rust
  use actix_web::middleware::identity::{Identity, CookieIdentityPolicy, IdentityService};
  ```

  use

  ```rust
  use actix_identity::{Identity, CookieIdentityPolicy, IdentityService};
  ```


## 1.0.0

* Extractor configuration. In version 1.0 this is handled with the new `Data` mechanism for both setting and retrieving the configuration

  instead of

  ```rust

  #[derive(Default)]
  struct ExtractorConfig {
     config: String,
  }

  impl FromRequest for YourExtractor {
     type Config = ExtractorConfig;
     type Result = Result<YourExtractor, Error>;

     fn from_request(req: &HttpRequest, cfg: &Self::Config) -> Self::Result {
         println!("use the config: {:?}", cfg.config);
         ...
     }
  }

  App::new().resource("/route_with_config", |r| {
     r.post().with_config(handler_fn, |cfg| {
         cfg.0.config = "test".to_string();
     })
  })

  ```

  use the HttpRequest to get the configuration like any other `Data` with `req.app_data::<C>()` and set it with the `data()` method on the `resource`

  ```rust
  #[derive(Default)]
  struct ExtractorConfig {
     config: String,
  }

  impl FromRequest for YourExtractor {
     type Error = Error;
     type Future = Result<Self, Self::Error>;
     type Config = ExtractorConfig;

     fn from_request(req: &HttpRequest, payload: &mut Payload) -> Self::Future {
         let cfg = req.app_data::<ExtractorConfig>();
         println!("config data?: {:?}", cfg.unwrap().role);
         ...
     }
  }

  App::new().service(
     resource("/route_with_config")
         .data(ExtractorConfig {
             config: "test".to_string(),
         })
         .route(post().to(handler_fn)),
  )
  ```

* Resource registration. 1.0 version uses generalized resource
  registration via `.service()` method.

  instead of

  ```rust
    App.new().resource("/welcome", |r| r.f(welcome))
  ```

  use App's or Scope's `.service()` method. `.service()` method accepts
  object that implements `HttpServiceFactory` trait. By default
  actix-web provides `Resource` and `Scope` services.

  ```rust
    App.new().service(
        web::resource("/welcome")
            .route(web::get().to(welcome))
            .route(web::post().to(post_handler))
  ```

* Scope registration.

  instead of

  ```rust
      let app = App::new().scope("/{project_id}", |scope| {
            scope
                .resource("/path1", |r| r.f(|_| HttpResponse::Ok()))
                .resource("/path2", |r| r.f(|_| HttpResponse::Ok()))
                .resource("/path3", |r| r.f(|_| HttpResponse::MethodNotAllowed()))
      });
  ```

  use `.service()` for registration and `web::scope()` as scope object factory.

  ```rust
      let app = App::new().service(
          web::scope("/{project_id}")
              .service(web::resource("/path1").to(|| HttpResponse::Ok()))
              .service(web::resource("/path2").to(|| HttpResponse::Ok()))
              .service(web::resource("/path3").to(|| HttpResponse::MethodNotAllowed()))
      );
  ```

* `.with()`, `.with_async()` registration methods have been renamed to `.to()` and `.to_async()`.

  instead of

  ```rust
    App.new().resource("/welcome", |r| r.with(welcome))
  ```

  use `.to()` or `.to_async()` methods

  ```rust
    App.new().service(web::resource("/welcome").to(welcome))
  ```

* Passing arguments to handler with extractors, multiple arguments are allowed

  instead of

  ```rust
  fn welcome((body, req): (Bytes, HttpRequest)) -> ... {
    ...
  }
  ```

  use multiple arguments

  ```rust
  fn welcome(body: Bytes, req: HttpRequest) -> ... {
    ...
  }
  ```

* `.f()`, `.a()` and `.h()` handler registration methods have been removed.
  Use `.to()` for handlers and `.to_async()` for async handlers. Handler function
  must use extractors.

  instead of

  ```rust
    App.new().resource("/welcome", |r| r.f(welcome))
  ```

  use App's `to()` or `to_async()` methods

  ```rust
    App.new().service(web::resource("/welcome").to(welcome))
  ```

* `HttpRequest` does not provide access to request's payload stream.

  instead of

  ```rust
  fn index(req: &HttpRequest) -> Box<Future<Item=HttpResponse, Error=Error>> {
    req
       .payload()
       .from_err()
       .fold((), |_, chunk| {
            ...
        })
       .map(|_| HttpResponse::Ok().finish())
       .responder()
  }
  ```

  use `Payload` extractor

  ```rust
  fn index(stream: web::Payload) -> impl Future<Item=HttpResponse, Error=Error> {
     stream
       .from_err()
       .fold((), |_, chunk| {
            ...
        })
       .map(|_| HttpResponse::Ok().finish())
  }
  ```

* `State` is now `Data`.  You register Data during the App initialization process
  and then access it from handlers either using a Data extractor or using
  HttpRequest's api.

  instead of

  ```rust
    App.with_state(T)
  ```

  use App's `data` method

  ```rust
	App.new()
       .data(T)
  ```

  and either use the Data extractor within your handler

  ```rust
    use actix_web::web::Data;

	fn endpoint_handler(Data<T>)){
      ...
    }
  ```

  .. or access your Data element from the HttpRequest

  ```rust
	fn endpoint_handler(req: HttpRequest) {
		let data: Option<Data<T>> = req.app_data::<T>();
    }
  ```


* AsyncResponder is removed, use `.to_async()` registration method and `impl Future<>` as result type.

  instead of

  ```rust
	use actix_web::AsyncResponder;

    fn endpoint_handler(...) -> impl Future<Item=HttpResponse, Error=Error>{
		...
        .responder()
	}
  ```

  .. simply omit AsyncResponder and the corresponding responder() finish method


* Middleware

  instead of

  ```rust
      let app = App::new()
           .middleware(middleware::Logger::default())
  ```

  use `.wrap()` method

  ```rust
      let app = App::new()
           .wrap(middleware::Logger::default())
           .route("/index.html", web::get().to(index));
  ```

* `HttpRequest::body()`, `HttpRequest::urlencoded()`, `HttpRequest::json()`, `HttpRequest::multipart()`
  method have been removed. Use `Bytes`, `String`, `Form`, `Json`, `Multipart` extractors instead.

  instead of

  ```rust
  fn index(req: &HttpRequest) -> Responder {
     req.body()
       .and_then(|body| {
          ...
       })
  }
  ```

  use

  ```rust
  fn index(body: Bytes) -> Responder {
     ...
  }
  ```

* `actix_web::server` module has been removed. To start http server use `actix_web::HttpServer` type

* StaticFiles and NamedFile have been moved to a separate crate.

  instead of `use actix_web::fs::StaticFile`

  use `use actix_files::Files`

  instead of `use actix_web::fs::Namedfile`

  use `use actix_files::NamedFile`

* Multipart has been moved to a separate crate.

  instead of `use actix_web::multipart::Multipart`

  use `use actix_multipart::Multipart`

* Response compression is not enabled by default.
  To enable, use `Compress` middleware, `App::new().wrap(Compress::default())`.

* Session middleware moved to actix-session crate

* Actors support have been moved to `actix-web-actors` crate

* Custom Error

  Instead of error_response method alone, ResponseError now provides two methods: error_response and render_response respectively. Where, error_response creates the error response and render_response returns the error response to the caller. 

  Simplest migration from 0.7 to 1.0 shall include below method to the custom implementation of ResponseError:

  ```rust
  fn render_response(&self) -> HttpResponse {
    self.error_response()
  }
  ```

## 0.7.15

* The `' '` character is not percent decoded anymore before matching routes. If you need to use it in
  your routes, you should use `%20`.

  instead of

    ```rust
    fn main() {
         let app = App::new().resource("/my index", |r| {
             r.method(http::Method::GET)
                    .with(index);
         });
    }
    ```

  use

    ```rust
    fn main() {
         let app = App::new().resource("/my%20index", |r| {
             r.method(http::Method::GET)
                    .with(index);
         });
    }
    ```

* If you used `AsyncResult::async` you need to replace it with `AsyncResult::future`


## 0.7.4

* `Route::with_config()`/`Route::with_async_config()` always passes configuration objects as tuple
  even for handler with one parameter.


## 0.7

* `HttpRequest` does not implement `Stream` anymore. If you need to read request payload
  use `HttpMessage::payload()` method.

  instead of

    ```rust
    fn index(req: HttpRequest) -> impl Responder {
         req
            .from_err()
            .fold(...)
            ....
    }
    ```

  use `.payload()`

    ```rust
    fn index(req: HttpRequest) -> impl Responder {
         req
            .payload()  // <- get request payload stream
            .from_err()
            .fold(...)
            ....
    }
    ```

* [Middleware](https://actix.rs/actix-web/actix_web/middleware/trait.Middleware.html)
  trait uses `&HttpRequest` instead of `&mut HttpRequest`.

* Removed `Route::with2()` and `Route::with3()` use tuple of extractors instead.

    instead of

    ```rust
    fn index(query: Query<..>, info: Json<MyStruct) -> impl Responder {}
    ```

    use tuple of extractors and use `.with()` for registration:

    ```rust
    fn index((query, json): (Query<..>, Json<MyStruct)) -> impl Responder {}
    ```

* `Handler::handle()` uses `&self` instead of `&mut self`

* `Handler::handle()` accepts reference to `HttpRequest<_>` instead of value

* Removed deprecated `HttpServer::threads()`, use
  [HttpServer::workers()](https://actix.rs/actix-web/actix_web/server/struct.HttpServer.html#method.workers) instead.

* Renamed `client::ClientConnectorError::Connector` to
  `client::ClientConnectorError::Resolver`

* `Route::with()` does not return `ExtractorConfig`, to configure
  extractor use `Route::with_config()`

    instead of

    ```rust
    fn main() {
         let app = App::new().resource("/index.html", |r| {
             r.method(http::Method::GET)
                    .with(index)
                    .limit(4096);  // <- limit size of the payload
         });
    }
    ```

    use

    ```rust

    fn main() {
         let app = App::new().resource("/index.html", |r| {
             r.method(http::Method::GET)
                    .with_config(index, |cfg| { // <- register handler
                       cfg.limit(4096);  // <- limit size of the payload
                     })
         });
    }
    ```

* `Route::with_async()` does not return `ExtractorConfig`, to configure
  extractor use `Route::with_async_config()`


## 0.6

* `Path<T>` extractor return `ErrorNotFound` on failure instead of `ErrorBadRequest`

* `ws::Message::Close` now includes optional close reason.
  `ws::CloseCode::Status` and `ws::CloseCode::Empty` have been removed.

* `HttpServer::threads()` renamed to `HttpServer::workers()`.

* `HttpServer::start_ssl()` and `HttpServer::start_tls()` deprecated.
  Use `HttpServer::bind_ssl()` and `HttpServer::bind_tls()` instead.

* `HttpRequest::extensions()` returns read only reference to the request's Extension
  `HttpRequest::extensions_mut()` returns mutable reference.

* Instead of

   `use actix_web::middleware::{
        CookieSessionBackend, CookieSessionError, RequestSession,
        Session, SessionBackend, SessionImpl, SessionStorage};`

  use `actix_web::middleware::session`

   `use actix_web::middleware::session{CookieSessionBackend, CookieSessionError,
        RequestSession, Session, SessionBackend, SessionImpl, SessionStorage};`

* `FromRequest::from_request()` accepts mutable reference to a request

* `FromRequest::Result` has to implement `Into<Reply<Self>>`

* [`Responder::respond_to()`](
  https://actix.rs/actix-web/actix_web/trait.Responder.html#tymethod.respond_to)
  is generic over `S`

*  Use `Query` extractor instead of HttpRequest::query()`.

   ```rust
   fn index(q: Query<HashMap<String, String>>) -> Result<..> {
       ...
   }
   ```

   or

   ```rust
   let q = Query::<HashMap<String, String>>::extract(req);
   ```

* Websocket operations are implemented as `WsWriter` trait.
  you need to use `use actix_web::ws::WsWriter`


## 0.5

* `HttpResponseBuilder::body()`, `.finish()`, `.json()`
   methods return `HttpResponse` instead of `Result<HttpResponse>`

* `actix_web::Method`, `actix_web::StatusCode`, `actix_web::Version`
   moved to `actix_web::http` module

* `actix_web::header` moved to `actix_web::http::header`

* `NormalizePath` moved to `actix_web::http` module

* `HttpServer` moved to `actix_web::server`, added new `actix_web::server::new()` function,
  shortcut for `actix_web::server::HttpServer::new()`

* `DefaultHeaders` middleware does not use separate builder, all builder methods moved to type itself

* `StaticFiles::new()`'s show_index parameter removed, use `show_files_listing()` method instead.

* `CookieSessionBackendBuilder` removed, all methods moved to `CookieSessionBackend` type

* `actix_web::httpcodes` module is deprecated, `HttpResponse::Ok()`, `HttpResponse::Found()` and other `HttpResponse::XXX()`
   functions should be used instead

* `ClientRequestBuilder::body()` returns `Result<_, actix_web::Error>`
  instead of `Result<_, http::Error>`

* `Application` renamed to a `App`

* `actix_web::Reply`, `actix_web::Resource` moved to `actix_web::dev`
