You're about to look through these notes and 🤯. Go ahead and take a moment. We'll wait...

OK, now that you're back, admittedly there are a lot of changes in this release (we're looking at you, Prisma 👀). But while you see words on a screen including lots of bullet points, what we see is an incredible community of contributors that hammered out 40 merged PRs in just 9 days. Yes, 🤯 indeed. Also 🚀. Lots of 🚀🚀

To each and every one of you who contributed, you are simply amazing! And to each and every one of you about to upgrade so you can continue building something amazing, we can't wait to see what you do with Redwood!

⚠️ This release contains Breaking Changes and requires code modifications. See the "Breaking" and "How to Upgrade" sections for more information.

v0.25.0 Highlights 🎉

So. Much. Prisma.

This release upgrades to the new, and greatly improved, Prisma Migrate, which includes new workflows for DB management and a ✨ new Prisma CLI. It's fancy. But it changes a lot of things. Like, a whole lot. Don't worry. The hard integration work is done for you!

  • This upgrade resolves the Notorious EPIPE serverless API connection error 🐛 (What, you don't know about the EPIPE bug? Lucky you.)
  • 👉 Get started with the new yarn redwood prisma commands via our CLI Doc
  • Bummer 😢: we can no longer use two DBs, e.g. provider = ["sqlite", "postgresql"] in schema.prisma (aka the Dynamic Provider). See "Breaking" and "How to Upgrade" sections below.
  • Have a Production DB? You'll need to, um, migrate it to the new Prisma Migrate! Check out this handy guide covering both local dev and production DB upgrade steps. 👀

Scaffold Generators now Support Prisma @relations

With some exceptions about syntax (hint: no @@id), you can now use Redwood's Scaffold generators with both one-to-many and many-to-many Prisma Schema relations.

Added

Fixes

Breaking ⚠️

Due to Prisma's release of the new Migrate feature + CLI (and deprecation of previous), this release includes several breaking changes that affect all projects:

  • previous Prisma migrations are deprecated and replaced
    • this means your local dev DB is broken, but also fixable (see guides and "how to upgrade" below)!
    • and, yes, you'll need to walk through some step to update your production DB's migrations
  • Dynamic Provider deprecated
  • redwood db [option] command deprecated and replaced with redwood prisma [option]
    • this also means redwood db seed is deprecated and replaced with Prisma DB Seed
  • Deployment command set deprecated and replaced

1. Deprecated yarn rw db command

Due to the new Prisma CLI, all rw db commands are now deprecated.

  • They've been replaced with new rw prisma commands — check out the Redwood CLI Doc
  • For a full guide to the Prisma CLI, see this Doc
  • NOTE: rw db seed has been replaced with rw prisma db seed — code modification required

2. Breaking: Deployment Command

Because the redwood db command is deprecated, the command string used to build for deployment has also been replaced.

  • Use yarn rw deploy [target] — see the Doc
  • Vercel hard codes the default Build Command into their dashboard. You'll need to log in and override if it's not using rw deploy
  • Netlify requires a code mod to your project's netlify.toml

3. Old Migrations are Broken. Long live the New Prisma Migrations!

Along with new commands to manage your DB in development and Production, you'll need to take steps to upgrade to use the New Migrations. It's non-destructive for production DBs. See "How to Upgrade" below and the walkthrough guide.

4. Prisma's Dynamic Provider is Deprecated: No more dual DBs

You can no longer use both SQLite and Postgres at the same time, which previously was set in schema.prisma as provider = ["sqlite", "postgresql"]. From here on out you'll have to make a choice. It's a bummer, yes. But it's better for us all in the long run. See "How to Upgrade" below.

How to upgrade Redwood to the latest v0.25

👉 IMPORTANT: Skipping versions when upgrading is not recommended and will likely cause problems. Do read through all Release Notes between your current version and this latest version. Each minor release will likely require you to implement breaking change fixes and apply manual code modifications.

Most of these steps are covered in this Upgrading to Redwood v0.25 Guide, including steps to upgrade your production DB using the new prisma migrate resolve command

Upgrade Packages

Typically we suggest making code modifications before you upgrade packages. However, in this release, you'll need the new packages to run through code modification steps.

Run the following command within your App's directory:

yarn rw upgrade

Need help or having trouble upgrading packages? See this forum topic for manual upgrade instructions and general upgrade help.

Manual Code Modifications

1. Reminder: Remove Directly Installed Prisma Packages

If you've previously added Prisma packages directly to your project package.json or api/package.json, now's the time to remove them. Once you do, be sure to run yarn --force

2. No more Dynamic Provider

If applicable to your project, you need to remove provider = ["sqlite", "postgresql"] from schema.prisma and replace it with either provider = "sqlite" or `provider = "postgresql" 😢

3. Upgrading DBs to use the New Prisma Migrate

See the Upgrading to Redwood v0.25 Guide to transition both your local dev DB and (if applicable) production DB.

3. Want to deploy? Use the new yarn rw deploy [target] command

  • see the CLI Doc for reference
  • Netlify: in the file netlify.toml, you need to replace the Build Command with yarn rw deploy netlify
  • Vercel: the command is set in the Vercel dashboard "Deploy Setting". Examine the build command and make sure it's yarn rw deploy vercel, overriding if necessary
  • AWS Lambdas via Serverless: the command has changed to be yarn rw deploy aws
  • Note about Self-hosting: there is no specific command, however, the build command string has changed to yarn install && yarn rw build && yarn rw prisma deploy && yarn rw prisma db seed. (The Seed step is optional.) See this Doc.

4. Rename your Seeds file 🌱

Rename the file api/db/seeds.js to api/db/seed.js to be compatible with the new command yarn rw prisma db seed.

5. Rename Prisma findOne --> findUnique

Prisma deprecated findOne. Search your project and replace with findUnique as needed.

6. You made it!

Redwood is rewarding on its own. But this upgrade process was way beyond normal. So now you get a well-deserved 🏆

Happy coding! We hope you build something amazing (and then tell us about it).
