Plank v1.6 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-01-07 // over 4 years ago

  • ⚡️ Updates

    General

    Nested object definitions.

    👍 Previously it was required to create a new file for each schema. Now we support declaring types within types which can be useful for ones that only make sense in a certain scope or are fairly minimal.

    Example schema declaration:

    { "some\_property" : { "type": "object", "title": "nested", "properties": { "id": { "type": "integer" }, "name": { "type": "string" } } } }

    JSON dependency graph output

    0️⃣ The behavior of the --print_deps output has changed to be JSON by default. This allows for tooling to be built to visualize or analyze dependency graph of your schemas.

    Given this command using our example schemas:

    plank --print\_deps Examples/PDK/pin.json

    You'll get an output with it's dependencies and any inherited types (via extends keyword)

    { "pin" : ["image", "board", "user"] }

    CI

    🏗 We've migrated our CI entirely to Github Actions which will make it easier for contributors to analyze logs and build failures.

    Objective-C

    • 🖨 Optimizations around memory footprint of properties
    • ⚡️ Test updates for equality methods

    Java

    • ✂ Removed AutoValue as a dependency
    • 👌 Support for tracking properties which are set
    • 👍 ADT, equality and nullability support
    • TypeAdapters derived from Schema definitions

Previous changes from v1.5

  • 🚀 This release contains a lot of internal cleanup as well as new functionality.

    ⚡️ Updates

    Objective-C

    ➕ Added isSet methods for each property which will allow callers to differentiate if a property has been set:
    This is useful for differentiating:

    • 0️⃣ Default values for primitive types (i.e. int properties will still be 0 if not set)
    • nil values for reference types (i.e. pointers to objects are nil if not set)

    Bazel

    🎉 Initial support for building plank and integrating it within your local bazel project.

    First add plank to your WORKSPACE file

    git\_repository( name = "plank", remote = "https://github.com/pinterest/plank.git", tag = "1.5")

    Then you can run plank using:
    bazel run @plank//:plank -- [YOUR ARGS HERE]

    Java (alpha)

    • 🎉 Initial support is available and depends on AutoValue and GSON. AutoValue is likely to be removed soon as a requirement.
    • 👍 Java support is in active development and breaking changes are likely
    • Audience is focused on Android development which could influence some of the design decisions / dependencies
