v1.18.0

Release v1.18.0

✨ Features

• SQL Tags in AddRESTHandlers
  The AddRESTHandlers function now supports the following SQL tags for enhanced data integrity and database handling:

  • auto_increment:
    When this tag is applied to a struct field, any provided ID value will be ignored. Instead, the ID returned by the database after insertion will be used.
  • not_null:
    This tag enforces a non-null constraint at the service level, ensuring that no nil value can be sent for the specified field.
    Incase nil value is sent, error will be returned.

  Example:

  type user struct {
      ID 		int 	`json:"id" 	sql:"auto_increment"`
      Name 	string 	`json:"name" 	sql:"not_null"`
      Age 	int 	`json:"age"`
      IsEmployed 	bool 	`json:"isEmployed"`
  }

• Added support for directory operations in FileSystem
  Supported functionalities are:
  ChDir(dirname string) error - ChDir changes the current directory.
  Getwd() (string, error) - Getwd returns the path of the current directory.
  ReadDir(dir string) ([]FileInfo, error) - ReadDir returns a list of files/directories present in the directory.
  Stat(name string) (FileInfo, error) - Stat returns the file/directory information in the directory.

🛠 Enhancements

• Error logs for invalid configs
  Added validations for REQUEST_TIMEOUT and REMOTE_LOG_FETCH_INTERVAL configs and log error if invalid.

• Error logs for internal server errors
  Previously, if any occurred then there was a log with just status code and correlationID.
  Hence, added an error log with correlationID and error message.
  

• FileSystem mock methods for testing purpose
  To help test the FileSystem methods, mocks have now been added to mock container struct which can be generated from NewMockContainer method.

🐞 Fixes

• Resolved application status in case of migration failure
  If any occurs while running the migrations, the application will now gracefully shutdown.

• Resolved response for error case
  For an error case, where the response consists of error message only and has no data to return, then also the data field was present in output as null.
  This has been removed now, so only error struct will be returned with respective status code.
