Middleware #

• Added .useMiddleware() API for attaching middleware directly to routes, making route-level middleware usage cleaner and more expressive.
  Example:

  app.get('/profile', controller.show).useMiddleware(AuthMiddleware());
  Fixed bugs in middleware chaining to ensure multiple middlewares execute in the correct order.
  

Database Minor internal bug fixes in query builder (stability improvements).

Response API No changes.

Static Files No changes.

Error Handling Stability improvements when using custom middlewares with ExceptionMiddleware.

📄 Swagger Documentation Flint Dart ships with best-in-class API documentation out of the box. Using Swagger-style annotations, you can describe your routes directly in code and automatically generate OpenAPI specifications with an interactive Swagger UI.

Annotating Routes Add /// comments above each route to document summary, request body, responses, and security requirements.

dart Copy code import 'package:flint_dart/flint_dart.dart'; import 'package:sample/src/middlewares/auth_middleware.dart'; import '../controllers/user_controller.dart';

void registerUserRoutes(Flint app) { final controller = UserController();

/// @summary List all users /// @server http://localhost:3000 /// @server https://api.mydomain.com /// @prefix /users app.get("/", controller.index);

/// @summary Get a user by ID /// @prefix /users app.get("/:id", controller.show);

/// @prefix /users /// @summary Create a new user /// @response 200 User registered successfully /// @response 404 User not found /// @body {"email": "string", "password": "string"} app.post('/', controller.create);

/// @prefix /users app.put('/:id', AuthMiddleware().handle(controller.update));

/// @prefix /users /// @auth basicAuth app.delete('/:id', AuthMiddleware().handle(controller.delete)); } Supported Annotations @summary → Short description of the endpoint.

@server → Define server base URLs.

@prefix → Path prefix for grouped routes.

@response [code] [description] → Document response codes.

@body {} → Example request body JSON.

@auth [scheme] → Specify authentication (e.g., basicAuth, bearerAuth).

Generating Swagger UI Flint Dart parses these annotations and serves Swagger docs at /docs or /swagger. Developers can explore and test endpoints directly from the browser.

void main() { // Enable swagger docs final app = Flint(enableSwaggerDocs: true);

// Register routes app.mount("/users", registerUserRoutes);

app.listen(3000); } CLI Commands Flint Dart also includes CLI tools to manage and export your API documentation. This keeps docs in sync with your routes and is useful for CI/CD pipelines.

Generate Swagger JSON from your routes #

flint docs:generate Example Swagger UI After running your app, visit: 👉 http://localhost:3000/docs to view the interactive API documentation generated from your annotations.

Docs Updated middleware documentation with new .useMiddleware usage examples.

Added notes on bug fixes for route-level middleware chaining.

Added new section for Swagger docs integration with setup guide and usage examples.

Database #

• Added whereIn query builder method for filtering by a list of values.
  Example:

  await User.query().whereIn('id', [1, 2, 3]);
  Added as alias support in query builder.
  Example:
  

dart Copy code await User.query().select(['id', 'name.as(username)']).get(); PostgreSQL integration fully verified:

Auto-increment (primary key sequences) working correctly.

Migrations and schema syncing stable.

Middleware ExceptionMiddleware now handles a wider range of errors globally:

FormatException

TimeoutException

ArgumentError

PgException

MySQLClientException

MySQLException

ForbiddenError

Generic Exception

Response API No changes (see +3 for chaining improvements).

Static Files No changes.

Error Handling No changes (ExceptionMiddleware improvements listed above).

Docs Added usage examples for whereIn and as in query builder section.

Updated middleware docs to reflect new exception handling coverage.

• Database: Added autoConnectDb flag to allow disabling automatic DB connection (app.listen(port, autoConnectDb: false)).

Middleware: #

• Added default ExceptionMiddleware (handles ValidationException and unexpected errors globally).
• Added withDefaultMiddleware flag to let users disable auto-injected middlewares.

Response API: #

• All Response helpers (json, send, status, etc.) now return Response for consistent chaining.
• Handler typedef: Updated to FutureOr<Response?> Function(Request, Response) for better type safety and chaining.

Static Files: #

• Fixed static file serving to always return a Response.

Error Handling: #

• Default 404 Not Found handler now returns a proper response.

Docs: #

• Improved docstrings for autoConnectDb, withDefaultMiddleware, and middleware behavior.

• Initial public release of Flint Dart.
• Added Websocket.

• Initial public release of Flint Dart.
• Added CLI commands: create, start, migrate, make:model.
• Added MySQL and PostgreSQL ORM support.

• Bug fixes in migration system.
