Mandarine v1.3.0 is coming, and you should be aware of this...

[andreespirela]

Hello there!. I'm Andres Pirela, Author of Mandarine.TS.

As of right now, we find ourselves working for version 1.3.0 which will be a major version with a lot of useful things coming.

• Same routes with different methods:
  • Before, Mandarine used didn't support same routes, you would get an error if you had the same route (even with different methods such as POST, GET, DELETE...). Now, you can have the same route with different methods.
• Wildcard routes
  • Mandarine now supports wildcard routes ex: /(.*) .
    • If a route that is not wildcard exist and a wildcard route exists that matches other routes, the routes that are not wildcard will be prioritized.
• We are also adding greaterThan and lessThan to MQL (Mandarine Query Language).

Mandarine query language. Many of you may not know what this is, and it is hard to explain. Basically, MQL transform the name of your methods into SQL queries.

@Repository()
export abstract class MyRepository {
          public findByNameAndCountryIsNotAndAgeIsGreaterThan(name: string, country: string, age: number) {}
}

With Mandarine, you would inject MyRepository, and then when you call findByNameAndCountryIsNotAndAgeIsGreaterThan you would also be executing a database query according to your configured data source (as of right now, only postgres is supported)

@Service()
export class MyComponent {
            constructor(myRepo: MyRepository) {}

            public static myHandler() {
                this.findByNameAndCountryAndAgeIsGreaterThan("Andres", "United States", 19);
            } 
}

In myHandler when calling findByNameAndCountryIsNotAndAgeIsGreaterThan that would be translated to the following DB query:

SELECT * FROM ....... WHERE name = 'Andres' AND country = 'United States' AND age > 19

The whole process is managed automatically by mandarine, and when calling your empty function findByNameAndCountryAndAgeIsGreaterThan you will be actually getting data from the database. This is all done by Mandarine.

Of course! Amazing to see where Mandarine is going. It's really interesting to see the addition of wildcard routes and your updates to MQL.

Feel free to drop a link to your repository so that people interested can check out the code!
