Drift 2.14.1

This minor release fixes bugs in the drift and the drift_dev packages:

• Fix WasmProbeResult.open ignoring the ìnitializeDatabase callback.
• Fix inconsistencies when generating Variable instances for columns with custom types.
• Fix a build performance regression introduced in version 2.14.0 related to analyzing imports in drift files.

Drift 2.14

New features in drift:

• Add the QueryInterceptor API to easily monitor or transform all database calls made by drift.
• Add the count() extension on tables to easily count rows in tables or views.
• For updates made in drift files, we now support the column-name-list syntax.

Changes to the generator:

• Breaking change: The name of the generated row class derived from the name of the Dart table name now supports more forms of plurals. For instance, a table without a @DataClassName annotation named Categories would now generate a Category class instead of Categorie. This is done in a minor release because we assume users previously running into this are already using @DataClassName as a workaround.
• Make versioned schema snapshots generated by drift_dev schema steps public.
• Don't generate const row classes when they are extending a class which isn't const.
• Fix indices attached to tables not generating reliably.

Drift 2.13

Core Library

• Add support for custom types, which are useful when extending drift to support other database engines.
• Add Expression.and and Expression.or to create disjunctions and conjunctions of sub-predicates.
• Step-by-step migrations now save the intermediate schema version after each step.
• The TypeConverter.json factory reduces the boilerplate needed to define type converters doing JSON conversions.

Backends

• Add APIs to setup Wasm databases with custom drift workers.
• The drift_postgres package is now available on pub.dev.

Utilities

• Drift now provides a DevTools extension embedding the drift inspector written by Koen Van Looveren. When opening DevTools from Flutter's beta channel, a Drift tab is available to inspect open databases.

Drift 2.12.1

This minor release fixes the following issues:

• Fix readWithConverter throwing an exception for null values in non-nullable columns (#2640).
• Fix * columns in analyzed SQL queries expanding to more columns than what would be correct (#2641).
• Fix invalid types listed in views crashing the generator (#2636).
• Fix a generator crash when seeing an index referencing expressions instead of columns (#2643).

Drift 2.12.0

This drift release adds support for defining a database index in Dart and improves JSON support.

Full list of changes:

• Add support for table-valued functions in the Dart query builder.
• Support the json_each and json_tree table-valued functions.
• Add the @TableIndex annotation for table classes to add an index to the table.
• Add the TypeConverter.json method to define type converters storing JSON values more easily.
• Add TypedResult.readWithConverter to read a column with a type converter from a join result row.

Drift 2.11.1

This minor drift release contains bug fixes and performance improvements for the builder:

• Allow references to sqlite_schema in drift files.
• Support the timediff and octet_length functions from sqlite 3.43.0.
• Reduce the amount of assets read by drift, improving build performance and enabling faster incremental rebuilds.
• Fix missing import references around @UseRowClass with generateInsertable: true when modular code generation is enabled.
• Allow using .read() for a column added to a join from the table, fixing a regression in drift 2.11.0.
• Make step-by-step migrations easier to customize with Migrator.runMigrationSteps.

Drift 2.11.0

This release adds new features to the Dart query builder API:

• Add support for subqueries in the Dart query builder.
• Add isInExp and isNotInExp to construct IS IN expressions with arbitrary expressions.
• Add the substr extension on Expression<String> to call the sqlite3 function from the Dart API.

Other new additions to drift:

• Add isolateSetup to NativeDatabase.createInBackground() to override native libraries or perform other database-unrelated setup work.
• Add WasmDatabase.probe(), a method probing for available implementations and existing databases on the web without opening one directly.

drift_dev has also seen some optimizations in how it generates query code, which enables new features:

• Nested result columns in drift files can now refer to any result set (e.g. a table-valued function or a subquery). They were restricted to direct table references before.
• Add the dialects builder option to generate code supporting multiple SQL dialects.
• Add the preamble option for non-shared or modular build setups to mirror the preamble option from source_gen:combining_builder.

Drift 2.10.0

The main new feature of drift 2.10 is the drift_dev schema steps command, which generates a single Dart file with all schema versions of your database available.
A generated API in that file makes it easy to write incremental schema migrations.

Additionally, this release fixes an issue with the new WASM implementation when the set of available storage implements in a browser changes and makes drift_dev print a warning when Dart tables are implicitly added to a database through a transitive import.

Drift 2.9.0

Drift 2.9.0

The biggest feature of this release is stable web support! The WasmDatabase.open factory with a drift web worker is a performant and reliable web implementation for drift. The new web documentation at https://drift.simonbinder.eu/web/ shows how to use the new API and how to migrate from the old and experimental drift web APIs.

In addition to the new web API, this release

• introduces the fatal_warnings builder option, causing the build to fail when drift_dev reports warnings.
• forbids returning 0 from the schemaVersion getter. This has always been broken, so the explicit check leads to a better error message.

Drift 2.8.1

This patch release fixes the following issues in the core drift package:

• Fix a deadlock after rolling back a transaction in a remote isolate.
• Remove unintended log messages when using connectToDriftWorker.

Also, drift_dev: 2.8.3 and sqlparser: 0.30.1 have been released with these changes:

• Allow Dart-defined tables to reference imported tables through SQL #2433.
• Report syntax error for WITH clauses in triggers.
