# Changelog All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file. The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/), and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html). # Unreleased - Overall: - **fixed:** All known compile time issues are resolved, including those with `boxed` and those introduced by Rust 1.56 ([#404]) - **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:** 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:** `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:** Remove `routing::Layered` as it didn't actually do anything and thus wasn't necessary - **breaking:** Vendor `AddExtensionLayer` and `AddExtension` to reduce public dependencies - Routing: - 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. - **fixed:** Correctly handle trailing slashes in routes: - If a route with a trailing slash exists and a request without a trailing slash is received, axum will send a 301 redirection to the route with the trailing slash. - Or vice versa if a route without a trailing slash exists and a request with a trailing slash is received. - This can be overridden by explicitly defining two routes: One with and one without trailing a slash. - **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, etc. `axum::routing::service_method_router::get`, etc. ([#405]) - **breaking:** `Router::or` renamed to `Router::merge` and will now panic on overlapping routes. It now only accepts `Router`s and not general `Service`s. Use `Router::fallback` for adding fallback routes ([#408]) - **added:** `Router::fallback` for adding handlers for request that didn't match any routes ([#408]) - **breaking:** `EmptyRouter` has been renamed to `MethodNotAllowed` as its only used in method routers and not in path routers (`Router`) - **breaking:** Remove support for routing based on the `CONNECT` method. An example of combining axum with and HTTP proxy can be found [here][proxy] ([#428]) - Extractors: - **fixed:** Expand accepted content types for JSON requests ([#378]) - **fixed:** Support deserializing `i128` and `u128` in `extract::Path` - **breaking:** Automatically do percent decoding in `extract::Path` ([#272]) - **breaking:** Change `Connected::connect_info` to return `Self` and remove the associated type `ConnectInfo` ([#396]) - **added:** Add `extract::MatchedPath` for accessing path in router that matched request ([#412]) - Error handling: - **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 { // ... } ``` - Misc: - `InvalidWebsocketVersionHeader` has been renamed to `InvalidWebSocketVersionHeader` ([#416]) - `WebsocketKeyHeaderMissing` has been renamed to `WebSocketKeyHeaderMissing` ([#416]) [#339]: https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/339 [#286]: https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/286 [#272]: https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/272 [#378]: https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/378 [#363]: https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/363 [#396]: https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/396 [#402]: https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/402 [#404]: https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/404 [#405]: https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/405 [#408]: https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/408 [#412]: https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/412 [#416]: https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/416 [#428]: https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/428 [proxy]: https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/blob/main/examples/http-proxy/src/main.rs # 0.2.8 (07.

August, 2021) - **fixed:** Fix accidental breaking change introduced by internal refactor. `BoxRoute` used to be `Sync` but was accidental made `!Sync` ([#273](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/273)) # 0.2.2 (26. August, 2021) - **fixed:** Fix URI captures matching empty segments. This means requests with URI `/` will no longer be matched by `/:key` ([#264](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/264)) - **fixed:** Remove needless trait bounds from `Router::boxed` ([#269](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/269)) # 0.2.1 (24. August, 2021) - **added:** Add `Redirect::to` constructor ([#255](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/255)) - **added:** Document how to implement `IntoResponse` for custom error type ([#258](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/258)) # 0.2.0 (23. August, 2021) - 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
