The New oatpp::String

Now it's much easier to use oatpp::String since oatpp::String is now wrapper over std::string

{
  std::string s1 = Hello;
  oatpp::String s2 = s1;
}

{
  oatpp::String s1 = "Hello";
  std::string s2 = *s1;   // *s1 returns a refernce to the internal std::string object
}

{
  oatpp::String s1 = "Hello";
  std::string s2 = s1;   // s1 is used a l-value with a typecast operator
}


{
  oatpp::String s1 = "Hello";
  bool b = s1 == "Hello"; // compare s1 with const char*
  assert(b);
}

{
  oatpp::String s1 = "Hello";
  std::stringg s2 = "Hello";
  bool b = s1 == s2; // compare s1 with std::string
  assert(b);
}

{
  oatpp::String s1 = "Hello";
  std::string s2 = "World";

  oatpp::String s3 = s1 + " " + s2; // concat oatpp::String with const char* and std::string directly

  OATPP_LOGD("TEST", "str='%s'", s3->c_str()); // prints 'Hello World'
}

ConnectionPool::get() Timeout

#408

{

  auto connectionProvider = oatpp::network::tcp::client::ConnectionProvider::createShared({"httpbin.org", 80});

  auto pool = oatpp::network::ClientConnectionPool::createShared(connectionProvider,
                                                                 1,
                                                                 std::chrono::seconds(10),
                                                                 std::chrono::seconds(5));

  OATPP_LOGD("TEST", "start")

  auto c1 = pool->get(); //<--- this one will succeed
  OATPP_LOGD("TEST", "c1=%llu", c1.get())

  auto c2 = pool->get(); //<--- this one will fail in 5 sec. Since Max-Resources is 1, Pool timeout is 5 sec. And c1 is not freed.
  OATPP_LOGD("TEST", "c2=%llu", c2.get())

}

Output:

 D |2021-08-04 01:32:56 1628029976986744| TEST:start
 D |2021-08-04 01:32:57 1628029977126940| TEST:c1=140716915331208
 D |2021-08-04 01:33:02 1628029982128324| TEST:c2=0

JSON Serializer Escape Flags

#381

Now you can control if solidus is escaped or not.

Default Behavior

  oatpp::parser::json::mapping::ObjectMapper mapper;
  // mapper.getSerializer()->getConfig()->escapeFlags = 0; // by default FLAG_ESCAPE_SOLIDUS is ON
  auto res = mapper.writeToString(oatpp::String("https://oatpp.io/"));
  OATPP_LOGD("TEST", "res='%s'", res->c_str());

Output:

res='"https:\/\/oatpp.io\/"' # by default, solidus is escaped

Clear Escape Flags

  oatpp::parser::json::mapping::ObjectMapper mapper;
  mapper.getSerializer()->getConfig()->escapeFlags = 0;
  auto res = mapper.writeToString(oatpp::String("https://oatpp.io/"));
  OATPP_LOGD("TEST", "res='%s'", res->c_str());

Output:

res='"https://oatpp.io/"' # solidus isn't escaped

ConnectionMonitor

oatpp::network::monitor::ConnectionMonitor is a middleman who's able to monitor provided connections and close those ones that not satisfy selected rules.

OATPP_CREATE_COMPONENT(std::shared_ptr<oatpp::network::ServerConnectionProvider>, serverConnectionProvider)([] {

  auto connectionProvider = oatpp::network::tcp::server::ConnectionProvider::createShared({"0.0.0.0", 8000, oatpp::network::Address::IP_4});
  auto monitor = std::make_shared<oatpp::network::monitor::ConnectionMonitor>(connectionProvider);

  /* close all connections that stay opened for more than 120 seconds */
  monitor->addMetricsChecker(
    std::make_shared<oatpp::network::monitor::ConnectionMaxAgeChecker>(
        std::chrono::seconds(120)
      )
  );

  /* close all connections that have had no successful reads and writes for longer than 5 seconds */
  monitor->addMetricsChecker(
    std::make_shared<oatpp::network::monitor::ConnectionInactivityChecker>(
        std::chrono::seconds(5),
        std::chrono::seconds(5),
      )
  );

  return monitor;
  
}());

Note: ConnectionMonitor also works with ClientConnectionProvider as well.

Request Data Bundle

Now there is a data bundle associated with the Request and the Response which makes it easy to pass data through middleware interceptors and endpoints.

Example:

class MyAuthInterceptor : public oatpp::web::server::interceptor::RequestInterceptor {
public:

  std::shared_ptr<OutgoingResponse> intercept(const std::shared_ptr<IncomingRequest>& request) override {

    /* authorize request and get auth data */
    oatpp::Object<AuthDto> authData = authorize(request);
    
    if(!authData) {
      return OutgoingResponse::createShared(Status::CODE_401, nullptr);
    }
    
    /* put auth data to bundle for later use at an endpoint */
    request->putBundleData("auth", authData);
    
    return nullptr; // continue processing
  }
};

...

ENDPOINT("GET", "videos/{videoId}", getVideoById,
         PATH(String, videoId),
         BUNDLE(oatpp::Object<AuthDto>, authData, "auth"))
{
  ...
}

ConnectionProviderSwitch

#483

oatpp::network::ConnectionProviderSwitch can be used to change connection providers on the go, ex.: when you want to reload an SSL certificate without stopping the server.

/* create server connection provider component */
/* use ConnectionProviderSwitch instead of a regular ServerConnectionProvider */
OATPP_CREATE_COMPONENT(std::shared_ptr<oatpp::network::ConnectionProviderSwitch>, serverConnectionProvider)([this] {
  /* create SSL provider */
  auto sslProvider = oatpp::libressl::server::ConnectionProvider::createShared(...);

  /* create oatpp::network::ConnectionProviderSwitch*/
  return std::make_shared<oatpp::network::ConnectionProviderSwitch>(sslProvider /* current provider */);
}());


...

void reloadCert() {

  /* get server connection provider component */
  OATPP_COMPONENT(std::shared_ptr<oatpp::network::ConnectionProviderSwitch>, providerSwitch);
  
  /* create new SSL provider with new cert */
  auto sslProvider = oatpp::libressl::server::ConnectionProvider::createShared(...);
  
  /* set new provider */
  providerSwitch->resetProvider(sslProvider);
  
}

Response::getBody()

oatpp::web::protocol::http::outgoing::Response has a new method getBody() to retreive the body of the response. This is handy for response interceptors.

data::stream::FIFOStream

The new FIFOStream stream is a buffered InputStream with an WriteCallback. Check the corresponding documentation on how to use these interfaces.

Instead of using a static buffer like BufferInputStream it is build upon data::buffer::FIFOBuffer and is able to dynamically grow when data is written to it that would surpass its capacity. It is especially useful if you need to buffer data from a stream upfront or have multiple data sources that should be buffered in a single stream. However, it is not synchronized, so be careful when using FIFOStream in a multithreaded manner. You need to implement your own locking.

data::stream::BufferedInputStream

FIFOStream also introduced a new interface BufferedInputStream which unifies the bufferd-stream-interface all existing buffered streams (InputStreamBufferedProxy, BufferInputStream, FIFOStream) to allow for generalisation.

oatpp::parser::json::mapping::Serializer::Config::alwaysIncludeRequired

If oatpp::parser::json::mapping::Serializer::Config::includeNullFields == false there might still be the requirement to include some fields even if they are nullptr, because they are required by the deserializing end.

Consider the following DTO and endpoint-snippet.

class StatusDto : public oatpp::DTO {
  DTO_INIT(StatusDto, DTO)
  DTO_FIELD_INFO(status) {
    info->required = true;
  }
  DTO_FIELD(String, status);
  DTO_FIELD(Int32, code);
  DTO_FIELD(String, message);
};

// endpoint code:
ENDPOINT("GET", "/status", status) {
    auto dto = StatusDto::createShared();
    dto->code = 200;
    return createDtoResponse(Status::CODE_200, dto);
}

With a serializer with its config set to Serializer::Config::includeNullFields = false, the snippet would just yield {"code":200}.

However, status is a required field. Now, one can set Serializer::Config::alwaysIncludeRequired = true. With alwaysIncludeRequired == true, the same snippet would yield {"status":null,"code":200}, even with includeNullFields == false.
