Revel v0.21.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2018-10-30 // over 4 years ago

  • 🆕 New items

    • 👍 Session Engine support You can now define your own session engine. By default the cookie engine is the one used for the session, but with this change you can implement your own. Also controller.Session is now a map[string]interface{} which means you can place any object that can be serialized to a string.
    • ➕ Added http mux support you can now integrate Revel with packages that have their own HTTP muxers. This allows you to integrate with Hugo, Swagger or any suite of software that is out there.
    • 0️⃣ revel.controller.reuse app.conf option to turn on / off reuse of the controllers. Defaults to true

    💥 Breaking changes

    controller.Session is now a map[string]interface{} (previously was map[string]string) this means existing code needs to cast any values they pull from the session

        if username, ok := c.Session["user"]; ok { // username is a string type
        return c.getUser(username)
    }

    🔄 changes to

        if username, ok := c.Session["user"]; ok { // username is an interface{} type
        return c.getUser(username.(string))
    }
