v0.3.0-beta

0.3.0-beta - 2024-04-25

Compare to previous release

Breaking Changes (Overview)

• IFilterStatement
  • Now has an Options property
    This allows serialising to retain options applied to filters
  • Manipulators has moved into the new Options property
• IEntityManipulator
  • Now requires methods to manipulate Properties/Fields AND raw values
• IOperation
  • Has new Defaults property
  • Match has moved into Defaults
  • SkipNullMemberChecks has moved into Defaults and is now called NullHandler
• Operations can no longer have their null handler customised
  This needs to be revisited, read the discussion
• Serialisation
  • To accommodate the changes above, we now serialise Options - meaning current Manipulators will be lost.
  • Serialisation could break if the order of types was different. To prevent this there is now a default order and a TypeTracker.FilterStatementTypes static property for customisation
• Equal and NotEqual
  • No longer do pre-emptive null checks as checking null is excluding actual matches
• DoesNotContain, DoesNotEndWith, DoesNotStartWith
  • Now do a pre-emptive "is null OR" check as it was excluding nulls

Package: TopMarksDevelopment.ExpressionBuilder(* All)

Fixed

• Actually fixed the paths for the icons and the links to GitHub source code

Changed

• Compressed icon.png to reduce package size increase

Package: TopMarksDevelopment.ExpressionBuilder.Operations.*Not* (All Not Operations)

Changes

• Barring NotIn, all Not operations no longer rely on their counter operation. This was just unnecessary as the expression access was often simpler

Package: TopMarksDevelopment.ExpressionBuilder.Operations.* (All Operations)

Breaking changes

• Reflected the changes made to IOperation:
  • Has new Defaults property. Match has moved into Defaults. SkipNullMemberChecks has moved into Defaults and is now called NullHandler

Package: TopMarksDevelopment.ExpressionBuilder.Api

Breaking changes

• Made changes made to IOperation:
  • Has new Defaults property. Match has moved into Defaults. SkipNullMemberChecks has moved into Defaults and is now called NullHandler

Package: TopMarksDevelopment.ExpressionBuilder.Core

Breaking changes

• Serialisation could break if the order of types was different. To prevent this there is now a default order and a TypeTracker.FilterStatementTypes static property for customisation

Fixed

• Calling ToString on a manipulator now produces with the correct output string.
• Manipulators that cause an underlying type change no longer throws an exception
• Serialisation now adds core items based on the non-existence of IFilterItem rather than based on the values in the old ProtoTypes meaning serialisation could break in certain scenarios
• Assigning an OpenCollection to a variable, then calling a further OpenCollection and CloseCollection in a chain would leave the variable in the OpenCollection state. This would apply further filters to the wrong class/property causing errors/miss-results

Package: TopMarksDevelopment.ExpressionBuilder.Operations.DoesNotContain

Breaking changes

• Tweaked null check to allow null or a match. As results are excluded if they're null

Changes

• No longer depends on Contains

Package: TopMarksDevelopment.ExpressionBuilder.Operations.DoesNotEndWith

Breaking changes

• Tweaked null check to allow null or a match. As results are excluded if they're null

Changes

• No longer depends on EndsWith

Package: TopMarksDevelopment.ExpressionBuilder.Operations.DoesNotStartWith

Breaking changes

• Tweaked null check to allow null or a match. As results are excluded if they're null

Changes

• No longer depends on StartsWith

Package: TopMarksDevelopment.ExpressionBuilder.Operations.Equal

Breaking changes

• No longer does a null check first. As matching null will always return nothing

Package: TopMarksDevelopment.ExpressionBuilder.Operations.In

Fixed

• We no longer try to convert members to nullable types if they're already nullable

Package: TopMarksDevelopment.ExpressionBuilder.Operations.IsNotEmpty

Breaking changes

• Tweaked null check to allow null or a match. As results are excluded if they're null

Changes

• No longer depends on IsEmpty

Package: TopMarksDevelopment.ExpressionBuilder.Operations.IsNotNull

Changes

• No longer depends on IsNull

Package: TopMarksDevelopment.ExpressionBuilder.Operations.IsNotNullOrWhiteSpace

Changes

• No longer depends on IsNullOrWhiteSpace

Package: TopMarksDevelopment.ExpressionBuilder.Operations.NotBetween

Breaking changes

• Tweaked null check to allow null or a match. As results are excluded if they're null

Changes

• No longer depends on Between

Package: TopMarksDevelopment.ExpressionBuilder.Operations.NotBetweenExclusive

Breaking changes

• Tweaked null check to allow null or a match. As results are excluded if they're null

Changes

• No longer depends on BetweenExclusive

Package: TopMarksDevelopment.ExpressionBuilder.Operations.NotEqual

Breaking changes

• No longer does a null check first. As results are excluded if they're null

Package: TopMarksDevelopment.ExpressionBuilder.Operations.NotIn

Breaking changes

• Tweaked null check to allow null or a match. As results are excluded if they're null

Other (none-user facing)

Added

• Completed adding all tests for the rest of the operations. Closes: #1
• Added more tests to:
  • Core package
  • all the Between operations
  • DoesNotContain operation
  • In operation
  • NotIn operation
  • SmartSearch operation

Changes

• To better identify and maintain tests that have been added after a fix, they have all been extracted into their own Fix-Tests.cs class - this should be the de facto moving forward
• Converted tests to the preferred TheroyData method
• Removed tests that are related to the (for-now) removed SkipNullChecks option
• Improved on build-and-test by correcting --no-restore to --no-build during the test phase
