You can now serve the client from a subdirectory. This is useful if you want to serve the client from a subdirectory of your domain, e.g. https://example.com/my-app/
.
To do this, you need to add the client.baseDir
property to your .wasp
file:
app todoApp {
// ...
client: {
baseDir: "/my-app",
},
}
- Fixed a bug with Prisma which prevent connections via SSL with our versions of Alpine and OpenSSL. We upgraded to the latest Prisma 4.X.X which fixes this issue.
You can now customise the Vite config for your client app. This allows you to add plugins, change the dev server settings and more.
By adding a vite.config.ts
or vite.config.js
to your client
directory, you can customise the Vite config. For example, you change the dev server behaviour
not to open the browser automatically:
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
export default defineConfig({
server: {
open: false,
},
})
WASP_WEB_CLIENT_URL
env var in your .env.server
file.
Running wasp studio
in the root of your project starts Wasp Studio which visualises your application and shows you the relationships between pieces of your app. It is an experimental feature which is not yet fully ready, but we are working on it and will be adding more features to it in the future.
- Fixed a bug in Auth UI imports that prevented users from using the social login buttons.
We added an API for extending the default signup form with custom fields. This allows you to add fields like age
, address
, etc. to your signup form.
You first need to define the auth.signup.additionalFields
property in your .wasp
file:
app crudTesting {
// ...
auth: {
userEntity: User,
methods: {
usernameAndPassword: {},
},
onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login",
signup: {
additionalFields: import { fields } from "@server/auth.js",
},
},
}
Then, you need to define the fields
object in your auth.js
file:
import { defineAdditionalSignupFields } from '@wasp/auth/index.js'
export const fields = defineAdditionalSignupFields({
address: (data) => {
// Validate the address field
if (typeof data.address !== 'string') {
throw new Error('Address is required.')
}
if (data.address.length < 10) {
throw new Error('Address must be at least 10 characters long.')
}
// Return the address field
return data.address
},
})
Finally, you can extend the SignupForm
component on the client:
import { SignupForm } from "@wasp/auth/forms/Signup";
export const SignupPage = () => {
return (
<div className="container">
<main>
<h1>Signup</h1>
<SignupForm
additionalFields={[
{
name: "address",
label: "Address",
type: "input",
validations: {
required: "Address is required",
},
},
]}
/>
</main>
</div>
);
};
Wasp now supports PostgreSQL extensions! You can enable them in your main.wasp
file:
app todoApp {
// ...
db: {
system: PostgreSQL,
prisma: {
clientPreviewFeatures: ["postgresqlExtensions"],
dbExtensions: [{
name: "pgvector",
// map: "vector", (optional)
// schema: "public", (optional)
// version: "0.1.0", (optiona)
}]
}
}
}
This will add the necessary Prisma configuration to your schema.prisma
file. Keep in mind that your database needs to support the extension you want to use. For example, if you want to use the pgvector
extension, you need to install it in your database first.
Now you can type your async jobs better and receive all the benefits of Typescript. When you define a job, Wasp will generate a generic type which you can use to type your job function:
job simplePrintJob {
executor: PgBoss,
perform: {
fn: import { simplePrint } from "@server/jobs.js",
},
entities: [Task]
}
import { SimplePrintJob } from "@wasp/jobs/simplePrintJob";
import { Task } from "@wasp/entities";
export const simplePrint: SimplePrintJob<
{ name: string },
{ tasks: Task[] }
> = async (args, context) => {
// 👆 args are typed e.g. { name: string }
// 👆 context is typed e.g. { entitites: { Task: ... } }
const tasks = await context.entities.Task.findMany({});
return {
tasks,
};
};
When you use the job, you can pass the arguments and receive the result with the correct types:
import { simplePrintJob } from "@wasp/jobs/simplePrintJob.js";
...
const job = await simplePrintJob.submit({ name: "John" })
...
const result = await result.pgBoss.details()
// 👆 result is typed e.g. { tasks: Task[] }
Wasp now offers a way to link to pages in your app in a type-safe way. This means that you can't accidentally link to a page that doesn't exist, or pass the wrong arguments to a page.
After you defined your routes:
route TaskRoute { path: "/task/:id", to: TaskPage }
You can get the benefits of type-safe links by using the Link
component from @wasp/router
:
import { Link } from '@wasp/router'
export const TaskList = () => {
// ...
return (
<div>
{tasks.map((task) => (
<Link
key={task.id}
to="/task/:id"
{/* 👆 You must provide a valid path here */}
params={{ id: task.id }}>
{/* 👆 All the params must be correctly passed in */}
{task.description}
</Link>
))}
</div>
)
}
You can also get all the pages in your app with the routes
object:
import { routes } from '@wasp/router'
const linkToTask = routes.TaskRoute({ params: { id: 1 } })
- Fixes API types exports for TypeScript users.
- Default .gitignore that comes with new Wasp project (
wasp new
) is now more aggressive when ignoring .env files, ensuring they don't get committed by accident (wrong name, wrong location, ...).
When an external import is missing its implementation, waspls now offers a Code Action to quickly scaffold the missing JavaScript or TypeScript function:
query getTasks {
fn: import { getTasks } from "@server/queries.js",
// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
// ERROR: `getTasks` is not exported from `src/server/queries.ts`
entities: [Task],
}
Using the code action (pressing Ctrl + . or clicking the lightbulb 💡 icon in VSCode) will add the following code to src/server/queries.ts
:
import { GetTasks } from '@wasp/queries/types'
import GetTasksInput = void
import GetTasksOutput = void
export const getTasks: GetTasks<GetTasksInput, GetTasksOutput> = async (args, context) => {
// Implementation goes here
}
- Wasp copied over the
.env.server
instead of.env.client
to the client app.env
file. This prevented using the.env.client
file in the client app. - waspls thought that importing
"@client/file.jsx"
could mean"@client/file.tsx"
, which could hide some missing import diagnostics and cause go-to definition to jump to the wrong file.
Wasp now allows you to enable desired previewFeatures
for the Prisma client:
app MyApp {
title: "My app",
// ...
db: {
// ...
prisma: {
clientPreviewFeatures: ["extendedWhereUnique"]
}
}
}
Read all about Prisma preview features in the official docs.
- Automatic CRUD backend generation
- Public folder support
- Type safe WebSocket support
- Go to definition for imports in Wasp file
Check below for details on each of them!
- Wasp's signup action
import signup from '@wasp/auth/signup
now accepts only the user entity fields relevant to the auth process (e.g.username
andpassword
). This ensures no unexpected data can be inserted into the database during signup, but it also means you can't any more set any user entity fields via signup action (e.g.age
oraddress
). Instead, those should be set in the separate step after signup, or via a custom signup action of your own. - Wasp now uses React 18! Check the following upgrade guide for details: https://react.dev/blog/2022/03/08/react-18-upgrade-guide .
The most obvious difference you might notice is that your
useEffect
hooks run twice on component mount. This is due to the React 18's StrictMode, and it happens only during development, so it doesn't change the behaviour of your app in production. For more details on StrictMode, check https://react.dev/reference/react/StrictMode . - Updated most of the npm dependencies that Wasp app is generated with (e.g. axios), so you will also need to update those that both you and Wasp use. Wasp will inform you about this with a warning/error message during compilation so just follow instructions.
Wasp now supports a public
directory in the client
directory!
main.wasp
src/
├── client/
| ├── public/ # <-- NEW!
| | ├── favicon.ico
| | └── robots.txt
| └── ...
└── ...
All the files in this directory will be copied as they are to the public
directory in the build folder.
This is useful for adding static assets to your project, like favicons, robots.txt, etc.
Wasp now supports WebSockets! This will allow you to have a persistent, realtime connection between your client and server, which is great for chat apps, games, and more. What's more, Wasp's WebSockets support full-stack type safety, so you can be sure that your client and server are communicating with strongly typed events.
Enable WebSockets in your project by adding the following to your main.wasp
file:
app todoApp {
// ...
webSocket: {
fn: import { webSocketFn } from "@server/webSocket.js",
autoConnect: true, // optional, default: true
},
}
Then implement it on the server with optional types:
import type { WebSocketDefinition } from '@wasp/webSocket'
export const webSocketFn: WebSocketFn = (io, context) => {
io.on('connection', (socket) => {
// ...
})
}
type WebSocketFn = WebSocketDefinition<
ClientToServerEvents,
ServerToClientEvents
>
interface ServerToClientEvents {
chatMessage: (msg: { id: string, username: string, text: string }) => void;
}
interface ClientToServerEvents {
chatMessage: (msg: string) => void;
}
And use it on the client with automatic type inference:
import React, { useState } from 'react'
import {
useSocket,
useSocketListener,
ServerToClientPayload,
} from '@wasp/webSocket'
export const ChatPage = () => {
const [messageText, setMessageText] = useState<
// We are using a helper type to get the payload type for the "chatMessage" event.
ClientToServerPayload<'chatMessage'>
>('')
const [messages, setMessages] = useState<
ServerToClientPayload<'chatMessage'>[]
>([])
// The "socket" instance is typed with the types you defined on the server.
const { socket, isConnected } = useSocket()
// This is a type-safe event handler: "chatMessage" event and its payload type
// are defined on the server.
useSocketListener('chatMessage', logMessage)
function logMessage(msg: ServerToClientPayload<'chatMessage'>) {
setMessages((priorMessages) => [msg, ...priorMessages])
}
function handleSubmit(e: React.FormEvent<HTMLFormElement>) {
e.preventDefault()
// This is a type-safe event emitter: "chatMessage" event and its payload type
// are defined on the server.
socket.emit('chatMessage', messageText)
// ...
}
// ...
}
You can tell Wasp to automatically generate server-side logic (Queries and Actions) for creating, reading, updating, and deleting a specific entity. As you change that entity, Wasp automatically regenerates the backend logic.
Example of a Task
entity with automatic CRUD:
crud Tasks {
entity: Task,
operations: {
getAll: {
isPublic: true, // by default only logged in users can perform operations
},
get: {},
create: {
overrideFn: import { createTask } from "@server/tasks.js",
},
update: {},
delete: {},
},
}
This gives us the following operations: getAll
, get
, create
, update
and delete
, which we can use in our client like this:
import { Tasks } from '@wasp/crud/Tasks'
import { useState } from 'react'
export const MainPage = () => {
const { data: tasks, isLoading, error } = Tasks.getAll.useQuery()
const createTask = Tasks.create.useAction()
// ...
function handleCreateTask() {
createTask({ description: taskDescription, isDone: false })
setTaskDescription('')
}
// ...
}
query getRecipes {
fn: import { getRecipes } from "@server/recipe.js", // <- You can now click on this import!
entities: [Recipe],
}
Wasp language server just got smarter regarding imports in wasp file!
- If there is no file to which import points, error is reported.
- If file doesn't contain symbol that we are importing, error is reported.
- Clicking on import statement now takes you to the code that is being imported.
We have more ideas in this direction on the way though! A bit of a sneak peek of what is coming soon: if Wasp recognizes file / symbol is missing, it will offer to scaffold the code for you!
app RecipeApp {
title: "My Recipes",
wasp: { version: "^0.10.0" },
auth: {
methods: { usernameAndPassword: {} },
█ // <- your cursor
}
}
As per popular request, Wasp language server now recognizes when you are in dictionary and will offer possible key values for autocompletion!
For instance, in the code example above, it will offer completions such as onAuthFailedRedirectTo
, userEntity
, ... .
It will also show their types.
- Wasp now uses TypeScript to ensure all payloads sent to or from operations (queries and actions) are serializable.
- Wasp starter templates now show description.
- Wasp CLI now correctly exits with exit code 1 after compiler bug crash.
- Added extra type info to middleware customization fn.
- Upgraded most of the dependencies (with react-router and prisma upgrades coming soon).
- Wasp CLI now always shows a nice error message when database is not accessible.
- We now ensure that User entity's username field must have
unique
attribute. - Improved how Wasp CLI detects wrong/missing node + the error message it prints.
wasp deploy fly launch
now supports the latestflyctl launch
toml file for the web client (which changed their default structure and port).
wasp deploy fly
now supports a --org
option, as well as setting secrets during launch
.
- Wasp CLI will now forward error exit codes. This will help when used in scripted contexts.
- Wasp now renders only the first route that matches the current path in the browser.
We now offer the ability to customize Express middleware:
- globally (impacting all actions, queries, and apis by default)
- on a per-api basis
- on a per-path basis (groups of apis)
We now offer an interactive way to create a new project. You can run wasp new
and follow the prompts to create a new project. This is the recommended way to create a new project. It will ask you for the project name and to choose one of the starter templates.
- Adds missing import for HttpError which prevent auth from working properly.
- Fixed a bug with circular imports in JS code which prevented database seeding from working properly.
- Fixed a bug where JS arrays weren't generated properly from Haskell code which caused issues with oAuth, operations and cache invalidation.
- Fixed several TypeScript errors preventing the frontend build
- We changed
LoginForm
andSignupForm
to use a named export instead of a default export, this means you must use them like this:import { LoginForm } from '@wasp/auth/forms/Login'
import { SignupForm } from '@wasp/auth/Signup'
- We changed some of the extensions on Wasp-provided imports from
.js
to.ts
. For exampleuseAuth.js
is nowuseAuth.ts
. Therefore, you should import them like this:import useAuth from '@wasp/auth/useAuth'
(without the.js
extension). Some other affected imports are@wasp/auth/login.js
,@wasp/auth/logout.js
, and similar. - We changed the type arguments for
useQuery
anduseAction
hooks. They now take two arguments (theError
type argument was removed):Input
- This type argument specifies the type for the request's payload.Output
- This type argument specifies the type for the resposne's payload.
Frontend code can now infer correct payload/response types for Queries and Actions from their definitions on the server.
Define a Query on the server:
export const getTask: GetTaskInfo<Pick<Task, "id">, Task> =
async ({ id }, context) => {
// ...
}
Get properly typed functions and data on the frontend:
import { useQuery } from "@wasp/queries"
// Wasp knows the type of `getTask` thanks to your backend definition.
import getTask from "@wasp/queries/getTask"
export const TaskInfo = () => {
const {
// TypeScript knows `task` is a `Task | undefined` thanks to the
// backend definition.
data: task,
// TypeScript knows `isError` is a `boolean`.
isError,
// TypeScript knows `error` is of type `Error`.
error,
// TypeScript knows the second argument must be a `Pick<Task, "id">` thanks
// to the backend definition.
} = useQuery(getTask, { id: 1 })
if (isError) {
return <div> Error during fetching tasks: {error.message || "unknown"}</div>
}
// TypeScript forces you to perform this check.
return taskInfo === undefined ? (
<div>Waiting for info...</div>
) : (
<div>{taskInfo}</div>
)
}
The same feature is available for Actions.
Client and the server can now communicate with richer payloads.
Return a Superjson-compatible object from your Operation:
type FooInfo = { foos: Foo[], message: string, queriedAt: Date }
const getFoos: GetFoo<void, FooInfo> = (_args, context) => {
const foos = context.entities.Foo.findMany()
return {
foos,
message: "Here are some foos!",
queriedAt: new Date(),
}
}
And seamlessly use it on the frontend:
import getfoos from "@wasp/queries/getTask"
const { data } = useQuery(getfoos)
const { foos, message, queriedAt } = data
// foos: Foo[]
// message: string
// queriedAt: Date
You can now use e-mail authentication in your Wasp app! This means that users can sign up and log in using their e-mail address. You get e-mail verification and password reset out of the box.
app MyApp {
// ...
auth: {
// ...
email: {
fromField: {
name: "ToDO App",
email: "[email protected]"
},
emailVerification: {
getEmailContentFn: import { getVerificationEmailContent } from "@server/auth/email.js",
clientRoute: EmailVerificationRoute,
},
passwordReset: {
getEmailContentFn: import { getPasswordResetEmailContent } from "@server/auth/email.js",
clientRoute: PasswordResetRoute
},
allowUnverifiedLogin: false,
},
}
}
You can only use one of e-mail or username & password authentication in your app. You can't use both at the same time.
Wasp now provides a set of UI components for authentication. You can use them to quickly build a login and signup page for your app. The UI changes dynamically based on your Wasp config.
We provide LoginForm
, SignupForm
, ForgotPassworForm
, ResetPasswordForm
andVerifyEmailForm
components. You can import them from @wasp/auth/forms
like:
import { LoginForm } from '@wasp/auth/forms/Login'
import { SignupForm } from '@wasp/auth/forms/Signup'
import { ForgotPasswordForm } from '@wasp/auth/forms/ForgotPassword'
import { ResetPasswordForm } from '@wasp/auth/forms/ResetPassword'
import { VerifyEmailForm } from '@wasp/auth/forms/VerifyEmail'
You can now define JS/TS functions for seeding the database!
app MyApp {
// ...
db: {
seeds: [
import { devSeedSimple } from "@server/dbSeeds.js",
import { prodSeed } from "@server/dbSeeds.js",
]
}
}
import { createTask } from './actions.js'
export const devSeedSimple = async (prismaClient) => {
const { password, ...newUser } = await prismaClient.user.create({
username: "RiuTheDog", password: "bark1234"
})
await createTask(
{ description: "Chase the cat" },
{ user: newUser, entities: { Task: prismaClient.task } }
)
}
//...
Run wasp db seed
to run database seeding. If there is only one seed, it will run that one, or it will interactively ask you to pick one.
You can also do wasp db seed <name>
to run a seed with specific name: for example, for the case above, you could do wasp db seed prodSeed
.
Need a specific endpoint, like /healthcheck
or /foo/callback
? Or need complete control of the response? Use an api
to define one by tying a JS function to any HTTP method and path! For example:
// main.wasp
api fooBar {
fn: import { foo } from "@server/apis.js",
entities: [Task],
httpRoute: (GET, "/foo/callback")
}
// server/api.ts
import { FooBar } from '@wasp/apis/types'
export const fooBar : FooBar = (req, res, context) => {
res.set('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*') // Example of modifying headers to override Wasp default CORS middleware.
res.json({ msg: `Hello, ${context.user?.username || "stranger"}!` })
}
Wasp now supports sending e-mails! You can use the emailSender
app property to configure the e-mail provider and optionally the defaultFrom
address. Then, you can use the send
function in your backend code to send e-mails.
// main.wasp
app MyApp {
emailSender: {
provider: SendGrid,
defaultFrom: {
name: "My App",
email: "[email protected]"
},
},
}
// server/actions.ts
import { emailSender } from '@wasp/email/index.js'
// In some action handler...
const info = await emailSender.send({
to: '[email protected]',
subject: 'Saying hello',
text: 'Hello world',
html: 'Hello <strong>world</strong>'
})
Moving from SQLite to PostgreSQL with Wasp can feel like increase in complexity, because suddenly you have to care about running your PostgreSQL database, providing connection URL for it via env var, and if you checkout somebody's else Wasp project, or your old Wasp project that you have no memory of any more, you also have to figure all that out.
To help with that, we now added wasp start db
, which runs a development database for you!
That it, all you need to do is run wasp start db
and you are good to go. No env var setting, no remembering how to run the db.
NOTE: Requires docker
to be installed and in PATH
, and docker daemon to be running.
By leveraging Vitest and some supporting libraries, Wasp now makes it super easy to add unit tests and React component tests to your frontend codebase.
This pg-boss
release fixes an issue where the node server would exit due to an unhandled exception when the DB connection was lost.
- Starts the process of removing the coupling between
usernameAndPassword
and social logins. Now, youruserEntity
no longer requires ausername
orpassword
field if you only want to use Google/GitHub for auth.
- All client files which use
JSX
need to have either the.jsx
or the.tsx
extension. This is because we now useVite
under the hood instead ofCreate React App
, andVite
requires these extensions to be present to process `JSX`` properly. - The Tailwind and PostCSS config files need to have the
.cjs
extension. These config files are CommonJS modules, and withVite
we are using ES modules by default.
We moved away from using Create React App for the client app. This means that dev startup time will be much faster and we are following the latest best practices for building web apps with React.
Wasp now passes in a context to the server setupFn
that contains Express app
and http server
objects. This can be used as an escape hatch for things like custom routes or WebSocket support.
- The Dockerfile has been updated to build the server files during the Docker build stage instead of during server startup. This will reduce the memory footprint required for running apps.
- Fixes a file lock error that kills CLI when changing entities with
wasp start
running on newer Macs.
You can now define a root component for your client app. This is useful if you want to wrap your app in a provider or have a common layout. You can define it in app.client.rootComponent
in your .wasp
file.
We have made it much easier to deploy your Wasp apps via a new CLI command, wasp deploy
. 🚀 This release adds support for Fly.io, but we hope to add more hosting providers soon!
You can now import and use the types of Wasp entities anywhere in your code.
Let's assume your Wasp file contains the following entity:
entity Task {=psl
id Int @id @default(autoincrement())
description String
isDone Boolean @default(false)
user User @relation(fields: [userId], references: [id])
userId Int
psl=}
Here's how you can access and use its type in a backend file:
import { Task } from '@wasp/entities/Task'
const getTasks = (args, context) => {
const tasks: Task[] = // ...
// ...
}
And here's how you can to the same in a frontend file:
// ...
import { useQuery } from '@wasp/queries'
import getTasks from '@wasp/queries/getTasks.js'
import { Task } from '@wasp/entities'
type TaskPayload = Pick<Task, "id">
const Todo = (props: any) => {
// The variable 'task' will now have the type Task.
const { data: task } = useQuery<TaskPayload, Task>(getTask, { id: taskId })
// ...
}
Wasp now automatically generates appropriate types for the operations specified
in your .wasp
file. This reduces duplication and eliminates possible errors
(i.e., no way to specify incorrect entities). Assuming your .wasp
file looks
like this:
query getTasks {
fn: import { getTasks } from "@server/queries.js",
entities: [Task]
}
You'll get the following feature:
import { Task } from '@wasp/entities'
import { GetTasks} from '@wasp/queries'
type Payload = Pick<Task, 'isDone'>;
// Use the type parameters to specify the Query's argument and return types.
const getTasks: GetTasks<Payload, Task[]> = (args, context) => {
// Thanks to the definition in your `.wasp` file, the compiler knows the type
// of `context` (and that it contains the `Task` entity).
//
// Thanks to the first type argument in `GetTasks`, the compiler knows `args`
// is of type `Payload`.
//
// Thanks to the second type argument in `GetTasks`, the compiler knows the
// function must return a value of type `Task[]`.
}
If you want to uninstall Wasp from your system, you can now do so with:
wasp uninstall
It will remove all of the Wasp binaries and data from your system.
We are removing the requirement for a specific npm version to enable following the Node.js LTS releases (Node.js LTS releases sometimes bump the major npm
version).
We are still requiring Node.js to be version 18, but the npm
version can be anything and for most of Wasp users it will be the version that comes with Node.js.
- Social auth had several breaking changes as we added a new provider (GitHub).
- Buttons and sign in URLs now have a different, standardized import name for each provider.
- Google exe:
import { SignInButton as GoogleSignInButton, signInUrl, logoUrl } from '@wasp/auth/buttons/Google'
- Google exe:
- Buttons themselves have been restyled to make them more uniform, and no longer take an optional
height
parameter. - Social config object now use a
clientID
property instead ofclientId
.
- Buttons and sign in URLs now have a different, standardized import name for each provider.
We have added GitHub as another social login option. It is as easy to use as Google, and only requires adding gitHub
to your app.auth.methods
plus two environment variables (GITHUB_CLIENT_ID
and GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET
)! Check out the docs for more.
- The CLI command for applying a migration with a name has changed from
wasp db migrate-dev foo
towasp db migrate-dev --name foo
. This allowed us to add more flags, like--create-only
.
- Again fixed Dockerfile generated with
wasp build
(after fixing it only half-way last time :facepalm) -> Prisma would break due to unsupported version of openssl.
- Fixed Dockerfile generated with
wasp build
-> Prisma would break due to unsupported version of openssl. wasp-lang#877
- Fixed a bug that was causing Wasp to forget about compiling backend code before running it in production
- Updates Create React App from version 4.0.3 to 5.0.1. This brings many improvements as well as downstream library updates. It also has a list of possible breaking changes: https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md
- Updates Prisma from version 3.15.2 to 4.5.0. Please check out their upgrade guide: https://www.prisma.io/docs/guides/upgrade-guides/upgrading-versions/upgrading-to-prisma-4 and release notes: https://github.com/prisma/prisma/releases for any possible breaking changes.
- Removes default
index.css
file that provided basicbody
defaults. Now, there is no default CSS applied. - Updates required Node LTS version from version 16 to version 18. This Node ecosystem change happened on 2022-10-25: https://github.com/nodejs/Release

- All server-side code must be located inside the
src/server
directory. Wasp declarations must import this code withimport foo from "@server/foo.js"
(instead ofimport foo from "@ext/foo.js"
) - All client-side code must be located inside the
src/client
directory. Wasp declarations must import this code withimport foo from "@client/bar.js"
(instead ofimport bar from "@ext/bar.js"
) - All shared code (i.e., used on both the client and the server) must be
located inside the
src/shared
and imported where needed through a relative import. - Each of these subdirectories (i.e.,
src/server
,src/client
, andsrc/shared
) comes with a pregeneratedtsconfig.json
file. This file helps with IDE support (e.g., jumping to definitions, previewing types, etc.) and you shouldn't delete it. The same goes forreact-app-env.d.ts
The new structure is fully reflected in our docs, but we'll also provide a quick guide for migrating existing projects.
You can easily migrate your old Wasp project to the new structure by following a
series of steps. Assuming you have a project called foo
inside the
directory foo
, you should:
-
Install the latest version of Wasp
-
Rename your project's root directory to something like
foo_old
-
Create a new project by running
wasp new foo
-
Copy all server-side code from
foo_old/ext
tofoo/src/server
-
Copy all client-side code from
foo_old/ext
tofoo/src/client
-
Copy all shared code (if any) from
foo_old/ext
tofoo/src/shared
and adapt imports in files that reference it:- For example,
import bar from './bar.js'
becomesimport bar from "../shared/bar.js"
- For example,
-
Copy all lines you might have added to
foo_old/.gitignore
intofoo/.gitignore
-
Finally, copy
foo_old/main.wasp
tofoo/main.wasp
and correct external imports:- Queries, Actions, Jobs, and the Server setup function must import their code from
@server
- Pages and the Client setup function must import their code from
@client
For example, if you previously had something like:
page LoginPage { // This previously resolved to ext/LoginPage.js component: import Login from "@ext/LoginPage.js" } // ... query getTasks { // This previously resolved to ext/queries.js fn: import { getTasks } from "@ext/queries.js", }
You should change it to:
page LoginPage { // This resolves to src/client/LoginPage.js component: import Login from "@client/LoginPage" } // ... query getTasks { // This resolves to src/server/queries.js fn: import { getTasks } from "@server/queries.js", }
Do this for all external imports in your
.wasp
file. After you're done, there shouldn't be any occurences of the string"@ext"
. - Queries, Actions, Jobs, and the Server setup function must import their code from
That's it! You should now have a fully working Wasp project in the foo
directory.
Wasp now allows you to write TS and TSX files. Some (but not all) Wasp features come with type definitions. Except more type definitions and even better integration with TypeScript in future versions!
You can now customize the default Wasp Dockerfile by either extending/replacing our build stages or using your own custom logic. To make use of this feature, simply add a Dockerfile to the root of your project and it will be appended to the bottom of the existing Wasp Dockerfile.
You can now use the Tailwind CSS framework in your project by simply adding two config files. Check out the Integrations section of our Docs for more!
- The
EmailAndPassword
auth method has been renamedusernameAndPassword
to better reflect the current usage. Email validation will be addressed in the future.- This means the
auth.userEntity
model should now have field calledusername
(instead ofemail
, as before).- If you'd like to treat the old
email
field asusername
, you can create a migration file like so:You can then add contents like the following:$ cd migrations $ mkdir "migrations/`date -n +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`_some_name" && touch $_/migration.sql
-- Drop the old index (NOTE: name may vary based on Prisma version) DROP INDEX "User_email_key"; -- Alter the table to rename the column, thus preserving the data ALTER TABLE "User" RENAME COLUMN "email" TO "username"; -- Create a new index CREATE UNIQUE INDEX "User_username_key" ON "User"("username");
- NOTE: If you simply changed
email
tousername
in your .wasp file, Prisma will try to drop the table and recreate it, which is likely not what you want if you have data you want to preserve.
- NOTE: If you simply changed
- If you would like to add a new
username
column and keepemail
as is, be sure to add a calculated value in the migration (perhaps a random string, or something based on theemail
). Theusername
column should remainNOT NULL
andUNIQUE
.
- If you'd like to treat the old
- This means the
WASP_WEB_CLIENT_URL
is now a required environment variable to improve CORS security. It is set by default in development. In production, this should point to the URL where your frontend app is being hosted.- The generated Dockerfile has been updated from
node:14-alpine
tonode:16-alpine
. - Wasp Jobs callback function arguments have been updated to the following:
async function jobHandler(args, context)
. Jobs can now make use of entities, accessed viacontext
, like Operations. Additionally, the data passed into the Job handler function are no longer wrapped in adata
property, and are now instead accessed exactly as they are supplied viaargs
. - React got updated to React 17.
You can now offer your users the ability to sign in with Google! Enabling it is just a few lines and offers a fast, easy, and secure way to get users into your app! We also have a comprehensive setup guide for creating a new app in the Google Developer Console.
Stay tuned, as more external auth methods will be added in the future. Let us know what you'd like to see support for next!
Now, your installation of Wasp also brings Wasp language server with it! This means live error reporting in Wasp files in supported IDEs (currently only VSCode).
Make sure to update your Wasp VSCode extension to get the benefits of Wasp Language Server.
We added useAction
hook to our JS API, which allows you to specify optimistic update details for an Action.
This means that, if you have a good idea of how an Action will affect the state on the client, you can perform those changes immediatelly upon its call (instead of waiting for Action to finish), by modifying what specific Queries currently return.
Once Action is actually done, related Queries will be unvalidated as usual and therefore fetch the real result, but in the meantime the changes you specified via optimistic updates will be visible.
This is great for apps where there is a lot of interactivity and you want the UI to update instantly with your changes, even as they are still being saved to the server.
Check out https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/language/features#the-useaction-hook for more details.
- Works around a
sodium-native
bug (used by a Wasp dependency,secure-password
) that caused signup/login runtime issues with Heroku deployments by downgrading it from v3.4.1 to v3.3.0 via apackage.json
override. Ref: https://github.com/sodium-friends/sodium-native/issues/160 - Improved warnings by Wasp to do database migration -> now there are less false positives.
- Made wasp CLI more robust regarding encoding used on the machine.
- Worked around the bug in latest npm, so that Wasp now again supports latest LTS npm version.
Among various other things, this brins support for OpenSSL3. So if you couldn't run Wasp on your operating system due to Prisma not supporting OpenSSL3, those days are over!
- There is now
app.client.setup
function in .wasp that you can use to define custom setup you want to do on client before on its initialization. - You can now configure the React Query's QueryClient by calling special function exposed by Wasp in your JS (in
app.client.setup
).
- Limited Wasp node version to <=16.15.0 for now, since there is a problem with later versions and how Wasp uses
npx
. - Reduced some of the redundant warning messages in Wasp CLI.
- Fixed unresponsive UI on server reload.
If you have server tasks that you do not want to handle as part of the normal request-response cycle, now Wasp allows you to make that function a Job and it will gain some "superpowers"!
Jobs will persist between server restarts, can be retried if they fail, and they can even be delayed until the future (or have a recurring schedule)!
Some examples where you may want to use a Job on the server include sending an email, making an HTTP request to some external API, or doing some nightly calculations.
To run Jobs, you don't need any additional infrastructure at the moment, just a Postgre database that you anyway need to deploy Wasp to production.
- Wasp now requires latest LTS version of NodeJS
- We had a bit of issues with being too relaxed on the version of NodeJS that can be used with Wasp so we thightened it up a bit. We also added a more thorough check in Wasp for it, that will warn you very explicitely if you are using the wrong version of Node.
- Updated react-query to v3
- This brings some new features from react query while also laying the foundation for the further features we are building on top of it in Wasp (coming soon!).
- Updated python to python3 in Dockerfile generated upon
wasp build
.
- Finally fixed a bug with orphaned processes in development.
- Various other bug fixes, doc improvements, and refactorings.
We are happy to announce Wasp is now using a much newer version of Prisma! This change does not impact the Wasp DSL support for Prisma, but it does come with some caveats from Prisma based on your usage. Please see this note for any breaking changes: https://www.prisma.io/docs/guides/upgrade-guides/upgrading-versions/upgrading-to-prisma-3
Note: When you first migrate after upgrading, you will likely see a new migration created for 3.x specific features related to updating foreign keys and indexes.
- Automatically regenerating your Prisma client, as needed, based on your Prisma schema changes.
- Tracking your NPM project dependency changes and automatically invoking
npm install
, as needed, so you are always up to date. - and more!
Mostly it is very similar to what it was before, with some following bigger changes:
auth
,dependencies
, and couple of other "singleton" delcarations now became part ofapp
declaration.- All declarations now need to have name, including
route
. route
has different syntax.dependencies
have different syntax.
For exact details about new syntax, check https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/language/syntax .
- Better compiler error messages.
- Nicer CLI output.
- Added delay on recompilation to avoid redundant recompiling.
- Added
onAuthSucceededRedirectTo
field inapp
. - and more!
