v0.15.0 (Beta 18.10.2021)

[mpscholten]

A new IHP release with new features and many bug fixes. This release also includes the Stripe Integration and Docker support for IHP Pro and IHP Business users 🚀

Major Changes

• 💰 Payments with Stripe:
  This version finally ships one of the most requested features, the Stripe Integration. With the new Stripe Integration you can easily deal with payments and subscriptions in your projects. If you ever wanted to build as SaaS with Haskell, today is the best day to start! 💻
  Learn how to integration Stripe in the Documentation

• 📦 Docker Support:
  Thanks to the new docker integration it's now easier than ever to ship your IHP apps into production!
  Learn how to deploy with Docker

• 🕸️ SEO Improvements:
  You can now dynamically manage meta tags like <meta property="og:description" content="dynamic content"/> in your IHP apps
  Learn how to manage OG meta tags

• 🌐 HTML in Validation Error Messages:
  You can now use attachFailureHtml if you want to write a custom validation logic that uses HTML in it's error message:

  post
      |> attachFailureHtml #title [hsx|Invalid value. <a href="https://example.com/docs">Check the documentation</a>|]
      -- Link will work as expected, as it's HSX

  Learn more about HTML validation errors in the documentation

• 🔍 Documentation Search:
  There's now a new Agolia-based Search in the IHP Documentation
  Search for Something
  

• 🎨 New Design for the API Reference:
  Our haddock-based API reference now has a custom CSS that gives it a stunning new look!

  TODO: ADD PICTURE

• 💽 Auto-generated Migrations:
  The Schema Designer now keeps track of your changes. Whenever you generate a new migration from the Web-based Code Generator or the new-migration CLI command, it will prefill the .sql file with the steps needed to migrate.

• 🧰 Tooling Updates:
  We've updated several packages available in your IHP development environment:

  GHC: 8.10.5 -> 8.10.7
  Haskell Language Server: 1.1.0.0 -> 1.4.0.0
  

• 🧪 Testing Improvements:
  Test modules now are run in their own separate database. On test start IHP will create a new database and import the Application/Schema.sql. After test completion the database is deleted.

  In previous IHP versions tests used the development database by default.

  Here's an example of how controllers tests can now look like:

  module Test.Controller.PostsSpec where
  
  import Network.HTTP.Types.Status
  
  import IHP.Prelude
  import IHP.QueryBuilder (query)
  import IHP.Test.Mocking
  import IHP.Fetch
  
  import IHP.FrameworkConfig
  import IHP.HaskellSupport
  import Test.Hspec
  import Config
  
  import Generated.Types
  import Web.Routes
  import Web.Types
  import Web.Controller.Posts ()
  import Web.FrontController ()
  import Network.Wai
  import IHP.ControllerPrelude
  
  tests :: Spec
  tests = aroundAll (withIHPApp WebApplication config) do
          describe "PostsController" $ do
              it "has no existing posts" $ withContext do
                  count <- query @Post
                      |> fetchCount
                  count `shouldBe` 0
  
              it "calling NewPostAction will render a new form" $ withContext do
                  mockActionStatus NewPostAction `shouldReturn` status200
  
              it "creates a new post" $ withParams [("title", "Post title"), ("body", "Body of post")] do
                  response <- callAction CreatePostAction
  
                  let (Just location) = (lookup "Location" (responseHeaders response))
                  location `shouldBe` "http://localhost:8000/Posts"
  
                  -- Only one post should exist.
                  count <- query @Post |> fetchCount
                  count `shouldBe` 1
  
                  -- Fetch the new post.
                  post <- query @Post |> fetchOne
  
                  get #title post `shouldBe` "Post title"
                  get #body post `shouldBe` "Body of post"
  
              it "can show posts" $ withContext do
                  post <- newRecord @Post
                      |> set #title "Lorem Ipsum"
                      |> set #body "**Mark down**"
                      |> createRecord
  
                  response <- callAction ShowPostAction { postId = get #id post }
  
                  response `responseStatusShouldBe` status200
                  response `responseBodyShouldContain` "Lorem Ipsum"
  
                  -- For debugging purposes you could do the following, to
                  -- see the HTML printed out on the terminal.
                  body <- responseBody response
                  putStrLn (cs body)

  Inside the test you can use withUser to call an action as a logged in user:

  -- Create a user for our test case
  user <- newRecord @User
      |> set #email "marc@digitallyinduced.com"
      |> createRecord
  
  -- Log into the user and then call CreatePostAction
  response <- withUser user do
      callAction CreatePostAction
