0.9.7 - 2022-03-10

Fixed

  • Fix behavior of async @response_handler with AiohttpClient. (#256)

0.9.6 - 2022-01-24

Added

  • Add a new base class, uplink.retry.RetryBackoff, which can be extended to implement custom backoff strategies. An instance of a RetryBackoff subclass can be provided through the backoff argument of the @retry decorator. (#238)

Changed

  • Bump minimum version of six to 1.13.0. (#246)

Fixed

  • Fix @returns.json to cast JSON response (or field referenced by the key argument) using the type argument when the given type is callable. This restores behavior that was inadvertently changed in v0.9.3. (#215)
  • Remove all usages of asyncio.coroutine in the library code to fix warnings related to the function's deprecation in Python 3.8+. (#203)

0.9.5 - 2022-01-04

Added

  • Add Python 3.8, 3.9, and 3.10 as officially supported. (#237)

Fixed

  • Fix FieldMap and PartMap from raising NoneType error. (#221)
  • Fix Python 2.7 support. (#217)

Deprecated

  • Python 2.7 support will be removed in v0.10.0.

0.9.4 - 2021-02-15

Fixed

  • A type set as a consumer method's return annotation should not be used to deserialize a response object if no registered converters can handle the type. (3653a672ee)

0.9.3 - 2020-11-22

Added

  • Support for serialization using a subclass of pydantic's BaseModel that contains fields of a complex type, such as datetime. (#207 by @leiserfg)
  • Support for passing a subclass of pydantic's BaseModel as the request body. (#209 by @lust4life)

0.9.2 - 2020-10-18

Added

Fixed

  • Using the @get, @post, @patch, etc. decorators should retain the docstring of the wrapped method (#198)
  • The Body and Part argument annotations should support uploading binary data (#180, #183, #204)

0.9.1 - 2020-02-08

Fixed

  • Omit Header argument from request when its value is None. (#167, #169)
  • Fix AttributeError raised on usage of uplink.Url. (#164, #165 by @cognifloyd)

Changed

  • Exclude tests subpackages from wheel. (#188 by @daa)

0.9.0 - 2019-06-05

Added

  • Create consumer method templates to reduce boilerplate in request definitions. (#151, #159)
  • Context argument annotation to pass request-specific information to middleware. (#143, #155)
  • Session.context property to pass session-specific information to middleware. (#143, #155)
  • Built-in authentication support for API tokens in the querystring and header, Bearer tokens, and multi-auth. (#137)

Fixed

  • Schema defined using @returns.* decorators should override the consumer method's return annotation. (#144, #154)
  • @returns.* decorators should propagate to all consumer method when used as a class decorator. (#145, #154)
  • Decorating a Consumer subclass no longer affects other subclasses. (#152)

Changed

  • Rename uplink.retry.stop.DISABLE to uplink.retry.stop.NEVER

0.8.0 - 2019-02-16

Added

  • A retry decorator to enable reattempts of failed requests. (#132)
  • A ratelimit decorator to constrain consumers to making some maximum number of calls within a given time period. (#132)
  • Timeout argument annotation to be able to pass the timeout as a consumer method argument or to inject it as a transaction hook using a Consumer instance's _inject method. (#133 by @daa)

Changed

  • Consumer subclasses now inherit class decorators from their Consumer parents, so those decorators are also applied to the subclasses' methods that are decorated with @get, @post, @patch, etc. (#138 by @daa)

Fixed

  • Memory leaks in RequestsClient and AiohttpClient caused by use of atexit.register, which was holding references to session objects and preventing the garbage collector from freeing memory reserved for those objects. (#134 by @SakornW)

0.7.0 - 2018-12-06

Added

  • Consumer.exceptions property for handling common client exceptions in a client-agnostic way. (#117)
  • Optional argument requires_consumer for response_handler and error_handler; when set to True, the registered callback should accept a reference to a Consumer instance as its leading argument. (#118)

Changed

  • For a Query-annotated argument, a None value indicates that the query parameter should be excluded from the request. Previous behavior was to encode the parameter as ...?name=None. To retain this behavior, specify the new encode_none parameter (i.e., Query(..., encode_none="None")). (#126 by @nphilipp)

Fixed

  • Support for changes to Schema().load and Schema().dump in marshmallow v3. (#109)

0.6.1 - 2018-9-14

Changed

  • When the type parameter of a function argument annotation, such as Query or Body, is omitted, the type of the annotated argument's value is no longer used to determine how to convert the value before it's passed to the backing client; the argument's value is converted only when its type is explicitly set.

0.6.0 - 2018-9-11

Added

  • The session property to the Consumer base class, exposing the consumer instance's configuration and allowing for the persistence of certain properties across requests sent from that instance.
  • The params decorator, which when applied to a method of a Consumer subclass, can add static query parameters to each API call.
  • The converters.Factory base class for defining integrations with other serialization formats and libraries.
  • The uplink.install decorator for registering extensions, such as a custom converters.Factory implementation, to be applied broadly.

Fixed

  • Issue with detecting typing.List and typing.Dict for converting collections on Python 3.7.
  • RuntimeWarning that "ClientSession.close was never awaited" when using aiohttp >= 3.0.

Changed

  • When using the marshmallow integration, Uplink no longer suppresses Schema validation errors on deserialization; users can now handle these exceptions directly.

0.5.5 - 2018-8-01

Fixed

  • Issue with sending JSON list Body using @json annotation.

0.5.4 - 2018-6-26

Fixed

  • When using uplink.AiohttpClient with aiohttp>=3.0, the underlying aiohttp.ClientSession would remain open on program exit.

0.5.3 - 2018-5-31

Fixed

  • Issue where adding two or more response handlers (i.e., functions decorated with uplink.response_handler) to a method caused a TypeError.

0.5.2 - 2018-5-30

Fixed

  • Applying returns.json decorator without arguments should produce JSON responses when the decorated method is lacking a return value annotation.

0.5.1 - 2018-4-10

Added

  • Decorator uplink.returns.model for specifying custom return type without indicating a specific data deserialization format.

Fixed

  • Have uplink.Body decorator accept any type, not just mappings.
  • Reintroduce the uplink.returns decorator.

0.5.0 - 2018-4-06

Added

  • Decorators for convenient registration of custom serialization (uplink.dumps) and deserialization (uplink.loads) strategies.
  • Support for setting nested JSON fields with uplink.Field and uplink.json.
  • Optional args parameter to HTTP method decorators (e.g., uplink.get) for another Python 2.7-compatible alternative to annotating consumer method arguments with function annotations.
  • Decorator uplink.returns.json for converting HTTP response bodies into JSON objects or custom Python objects.
  • Support for converting collections (e.g., converting a response body into a list of users).

Changed

  • Leveraging built-in converters (such as uplink.converters.MarshmallowConverter) no longer requires providing the converter when instantiating an uplink.Consumer subclass, as these converters are now implicitly included.

Fixed

  • uplink.response_handler and uplink.error_handler properly adopts the name and docstring of the wrapped function.

0.4.1 - 2018-3-10

Fixed

  • Enforce method-level decorators override class-level decorators when they conflict.

0.4.0 - 2018-2-10

Added

  • Support for Basic Authentication.
  • The response_handler decorator for defining custom response handlers.
  • The error_handler decorator for defining custom error handlers.
  • The inject decorator for injecting other kinds of middleware.
  • The Consumer._inject method for adding middleware to a consumer instance.
  • Support for annotating constructor arguments of a Consumer subclass with built-in function annotations like Query and Header.

0.3.0 - 2018-1-09

Added

  • HTTP HEAD request decorator by @brandonio21.
  • Support for returning deserialized response objects using marshmallow schemas.
  • Constructor parameter for Query and QueryMap to support already encoded URL parameters.
  • Support for using requests.Session and aiohttp.ClientSession instances with the client parameter of the Consumer constructor.

Changed

  • aiohttp and twisted are now optional dependencies/extras.

Fixed

  • Fix for calling a request method with super, by @brandonio21.
  • Fix issue where method decorators would incorrectly decorate inherited request methods.

0.2.2 - 2017-11-23

Fixed

  • Fix for error raised when an object that is not a class is passed into the client parameter of the Consumer constructor, by @kadrach.

0.2.0 - 2017-11-03

Added

  • The class uplink.Consumer by @itstehkman. Consumer classes should inherit this base class, and creating consumer instances happens through instantiation.
  • Support for asyncio for Python 3.4 and above.
  • Support for twisted for all supported Python versions.

Changed

  • BREAKING: Invoking a consumer method now builds and executes the request, removing the extra step of calling the execute method.

Deprecated

  • Building consumer instances with uplink.build. Instead, Consumer classes should inherit uplink.Consumer.

Fixed

  • Header link for version 0.1.1 in changelog.
