Hey Folks, we have been working hard in the last week to help reduce friction while building backend development. Unfortunately, this has led to a breaking change.

In Platformatic DB, you used to write:

{
  "core": {
    "connectionString": "..."
  }
}

Now you should write instead:

{
  "db": {
    "connectionString": "..."
  }
}

We made this change to better support Platformatic Service. However, you would not have to make any changes as your config file will automatically update while loading.

OpenAPI and GraphQL support for Platformatic Service

Platformatic Service can be configured to automatically expose OpenAPI and GraphQL schemas by providing the following configuration:

{
  "service": {
    "graphql": true,
    "openapi": true
  }
}

A complete set of options is also available! Make sure to check the configuration docs as well as @fastify/swagger and Mercurius.

This feature was implemented in #783

Automatic platformatic update

In version v0.17.0, we introduced a new platformatic upgrade command to allow you to upgrade to the latest configuration format easily. This same behavior is now applied whenever you start Platformatic DB or Platformatic Service, so you would not miss an update.

This feature was implemented in #784

TypeScript template for Platformatic Service

Platformatic Service now has its own typescript generator in npx create-platformatic@latest:

import { FastifyInstance, FastifyPluginOptions } from 'fastify'

export default async function (fastify: FastifyInstance, opts: FastifyPluginOptions) {
  fastify.get('/', async (request, reply) => {
    return { hello: fastify.example }
  })
}

This change was implemented by @dongheeleeme in [#757}(https://github.com/platformatic/platformatic/pull/757).

OpenAPI configuration

Platformatic DB and Platformatic Service now allows you to completely configure the OpenAPI schema:

  {
    "db": {
      ...
      "openapi": {
        ...
        "security": [{ "bearerAuth": [] }],
        "components": {
          "securitySchemes": {
            "bearerAuth": {
              "type": "http",
              "scheme": "bearer",
              "bearerFormat": "JWT"
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }

This feature was implemented by @rozzilla in #779 and #785
