# Unreleased
- **fixed:** All known compile time issues are resolved, including those with
`boxed` and those introduced by Rust 1.56 ([#404])
- Big internal refactoring of routing leading to several improvements ([#363])
- **added:** Wildcard routes like `.route("/api/users/*rest", service)` are now supported.
- **fixed:** The order routes are added in no longer matters.
- **fixed:** Adding a conflicting route will now cause a panic instead of silently making
a route unreachable.
- **fixed:** Route matching is faster as number of routes increase.
- **breaking:** The routes `/foo` and `/:key` are considered to overlap and
will cause a panic when constructing the router. This might be fixed in the future.
- **fixed:** Expand accepted content types for JSON requests ([#378])
- **fixed:** Support deserializing `i128` and `u128` in `extract::Path`
- **breaking:** The router's type is now always `Router` regardless of how many routes or
middleware are applies ([#404])
This means router types are all always nameable:
```rust
fn my_routes() -> Router {
Router::new().route(
"/users",
post(|| async { "Hello, World!" }),
)
}
```
- **breaking:** `Route::boxed` and `BoxRoute` have been removed as they're no longer
necessary ([#404])
- **breaking:** `Route`, `Nested`, `Or` types are now private. They no longer had to be
public because `Router` is internally boxed ([#404])
- **breaking:** Automatically do percent decoding in `extract::Path`
([#272])
- **breaking:** Added feature flags for HTTP1 and JSON. This enables removing a
few dependencies if your app only uses HTTP2 or doesn't use JSON. Its only a
breaking change if you depend on axum with `default_features = false`. ([#286])
- **breaking:** Remove `routing::Layered` as it didn't actually do anything and
thus wasn't necessary
- **breaking:** Change `Connected::connect_info` to return `Self` and remove
the associated type `ConnectInfo` ([#396])
- **breaking:** Simplify error handling model ([#402]):
- All services part of the router are now required to be infallible.
- Error handling utilities have been moved to an `error_handling` module.
- `Router::check_infallible` has been removed since routers are always
infallible with the error handling changes.
- Error handling closures must now handle all errors and thus always return
something that implements `IntoResponse`.
With these changes handling errors from fallible middleware is done like so:
```rust,no_run
use axum::{
routing::get,
http::StatusCode,
error_handling::HandleErrorLayer,
response::IntoResponse,
Router, BoxError,
};
use tower::ServiceBuilder;
use std::time::Duration;
let middleware_stack = ServiceBuilder::new()
// Handle errors from middleware
//
// This middleware most be added above any fallible
// ones if you're using `ServiceBuilder`, due to how ordering works
.layer(HandleErrorLayer::new(handle_error))
// Return an error after 30 seconds
.timeout(Duration::from_secs(30));
let app = Router::new()
.route("/", get(|| async { /* ... */ }))
.layer(middleware_stack);
fn handle_error(_error: BoxError) -> impl IntoResponse {
StatusCode::REQUEST_TIMEOUT
}
```
And handling errors from fallible leaf services is done like so:
```rust
use axum::{
Router, service,
body::Body,
routing::service_method_router::get,
response::IntoResponse,
http::{Request, Response},
error_handling::HandleErrorExt, // for `.handle_error`
};
use std::{io, convert::Infallible};
use tower::service_fn;
let app = Router::new()
.route(
"/",
get(service_fn(|_req: Request
| async {
let contents = tokio::fs::read_to_string("some_file").await?;
Ok::<_, io::Error>(Response::new(Body::from(contents)))
}))
.handle_error(handle_io_error),
);
fn handle_io_error(error: io::Error) -> impl IntoResponse {
// ...
}
```
- **breaking:** Method routing for handlers have been moved from `axum::handler`
to `axum::routing`. So `axum::handler::get` now lives at `axum::routing::get`
([#405])
- **breaking:** Method routing for services have been moved from `axum::service`
to `axum::routing`. So `axum::service::get` now lives at
`axum::service_method_router::get` ([#405])

- Overall:
- **fixed:** Overall compile time improvements. If you're having issues with compile time
please file an issue! ([#184](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/184)) ([#198](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/198)) ([#220](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/220))
- **changed:** Remove `prelude`. Explicit imports are now required ([#195](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/195))
- Routing:
- **added:** Add dedicated `Router` to replace the `RoutingDsl` trait ([#214](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/214))
- **added:** Add `Router::or` for combining routes ([#108](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/108))
- **fixed:** Support matching different HTTP methods for the same route that aren't defined
together. So `Router::new().route("/", get(...)).route("/", post(...))` now
accepts both `GET` and `POST`. Previously only `POST` would be accepted ([#224](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/224))
- **fixed:** `get` routes will now also be called for `HEAD` requests but will always have
the response body removed ([#129](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/129))
- **changed:** Replace `axum::route(...)` with `axum::Router::new().route(...)`. This means
there is now only one way to create a new router. Same goes for
`axum::routing::nest`. ([#215](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/215))
- **changed:** Implement `routing::MethodFilter` via [`bitflags`](https://crates.io/crates/bitflags) ([#158](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/158))
- **changed:** Move `handle_error` from `ServiceExt` to `service::OnMethod` ([#160](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/160))
With these changes this app using 0.1:
```rust
use axum::{extract::Extension, prelude::*, routing::BoxRoute, AddExtensionLayer};
let app = route("/", get(|| async { "hi" }))
.nest("/api", api_routes())
.layer(AddExtensionLayer::new(state));
fn api_routes() -> BoxRoute {
route(
"/users",
post(|Extension(state): Extension| async { "hi from nested" }),
)
.boxed()
}
```
Becomes this in 0.2:
```rust
use axum::{
extract::Extension,
handler::{get, post},
routing::BoxRoute,
Router,
};
let app = Router::new()
.route("/", get(|| async { "hi" }))
.nest("/api", api_routes());
fn api_routes() -> Router {
Router::new()
.route(
"/users",
post(|Extension(state): Extension| async { "hi from nested" }),
)
.boxed()
}
```
- Extractors:
- **added:** Make `FromRequest` default to being generic over `body::Body` ([#146](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/146))
- **added:** Implement `std::error::Error` for all rejections ([#153](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/153))
- **added:** Add `OriginalUri` for extracting original request URI in nested services ([#197](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/197))
- **added:** Implement `FromRequest` for `http::Extensions` ([#169](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/169))
- **added:** Make `RequestParts::{new, try_into_request}` public so extractors can be used outside axum ([#194](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/194))
- **added:** Implement `FromRequest` for `axum::body::Body` ([#241](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/241))
- **changed:** Removed `extract::UrlParams` and `extract::UrlParamsMap`. Use `extract::Path` instead ([#154](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/154))
- **changed:** `extractor_middleware` now requires `RequestBody: Default` ([#167](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/167))
- **changed:** Convert `RequestAlreadyExtracted` to an enum with each possible error variant ([#167](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/167))
- **changed:** `extract::BodyStream` is no longer generic over the request body ([#234](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/234))
- **changed:** `extract::Body` has been renamed to `extract::RawBody` to avoid conflicting with `body::Body` ([#233](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/233))
- **changed:** `RequestParts` changes ([#153](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/153))
- `method` new returns an `&http::Method`
- `method_mut` new returns an `&mut http::Method`
- `take_method` has been removed
- `uri` new returns an `&http::Uri`
- `uri_mut` new returns an `&mut http::Uri`
- `take_uri` has been removed
- **changed:** Remove several rejection types that were no longer used ([#153](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/153)) ([#154](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/154))
- Responses:
- **added:** Add `Headers` for easily customizing headers on a response ([#193](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/193))
- **added:** Add `Redirect` response ([#192](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/192))
- **added:** Add `body::StreamBody` for easily responding with a stream of byte chunks ([#237](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/237))
- **changed:** Add associated `Body` and `BodyError` types to `IntoResponse`. This is
required for returning responses with bodies other than `hyper::Body` from
handlers. See the docs for advice on how to implement `IntoResponse` ([#86](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/86))
- **changed:** `tower::util::Either` no longer implements `IntoResponse` ([#229](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/229))
This `IntoResponse` from 0.1:
```rust
use axum::{http::Response, prelude::*, response::IntoResponse};
struct MyResponse;
impl IntoResponse for MyResponse {
fn into_response(self) -> Response {
Response::new(Body::empty())
}
}
```
Becomes this in 0.2:
```rust
use axum::{body::Body, http::Response, response::IntoResponse};
struct MyResponse;
impl IntoResponse for MyResponse {
type Body = Body;
type BodyError = ::Error;
fn into_response(self) -> Response {
Response::new(Body::empty())
}
}
```
- SSE:
- **added:** Add `response::sse::Sse`. This implements SSE using a response rather than a service ([#98](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/98))
- **changed:** Remove `axum::sse`. Its been replaced by `axum::response::sse` ([#98](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/98))
Handler using SSE in 0.1:
```rust
use axum::{
prelude::*,
sse::{sse, Event},
};
use std::convert::Infallible;
let app = route(
"/",
sse(|| async {
let stream = futures::stream::iter(vec![Ok::<_, Infallible>(
Event::default().data("hi there!"),
)]);
Ok::<_, Infallible>(stream)
}),
);
```
Becomes this in 0.2:
```rust
use axum::{
handler::get,
response::sse::{Event, Sse},
Router,
};
use std::convert::Infallible;
let app = Router::new().route(
"/",
get(|| async {
let stream = futures::stream::iter(vec![Ok::<_, Infallible>(
Event::default().data("hi there!"),
)]);
Sse::new(stream)
}),
);
```
- WebSockets:
- **changed:** Change WebSocket API to use an extractor plus a response ([#121](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/121))
- **changed:** Make WebSocket `Message` an enum ([#116](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/116))
- **changed:** `WebSocket` now uses `Error` as its error type ([#150](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/150))
Handler using WebSockets in 0.1:
```rust
use axum::{
prelude::*,
ws::{ws, WebSocket},
};
let app = route(
"/",
ws(|socket: WebSocket| async move {
// do stuff with socket
}),
);
```
Becomes this in 0.2:
```rust
use axum::{
extract::ws::{WebSocket, WebSocketUpgrade},
handler::get,
Router,
};
let app = Router::new().route(
"/",
get(|ws: WebSocketUpgrade| async move {
ws.on_upgrade(|socket: WebSocket| async move {
// do stuff with socket
})
}),
);
```
