Upgrading from 2.x to 3.x

Flex-sdk 3.x contains several breaking changes as well as new features. To upgrade your service from Flex-sdk 2.x to 3.x:

• All email and push methods now return a promise. It is now required that you either handle the promise, or pass a callback.
• For all stores (e.g. dataStore, userStore, etc), the deprecated options skipBl and useMasterSecret have been removed and no longer function. Use useBl and useUserContext instead.
• All asynchonous modules (dataStore, groupStore, roleStore, endpointRunner, userStore, email, and push) now return a promise or accept a callback.
• For more information on what's new, see the Changelog.

Open the Flex SDK GitHub repo for more information and source code.

• Fixed: When calling User.me() to update the active users data, any data that was deleted since the last call will also be removed from the active user stored on the device. #299
• Fixed: Any error thrown in the onNext function while using an observable will cause the onError function to be called with the thrown error. The subscriber will also be unsubscribed from the observable. #302

• Ability to create internal Flex services using flex create.
• Ability to delete internal Flex services using flex delete. Note that this command name was used to clear Node.js project setting in previous versions.
• The flex delete command available in previous versions has a new name: flex clear. It keeps its behavior.
• All delete commands now require confirmation that you can avoid using the new --no-prompt flag (available only for delete commands).
• Unknown hyphenated options or flags now cause the command to exit with an error instead of being ignored.
• Dependency updates: moment.js, request.js.

• Enhancement: Add support for Server Side Delta Set. #270

var datastore = Kinvey.DataStore.collection('books');

// Turn on for datastore instance
datastore.useDeltaSet = true; // Default is false

// Pass options.useDeltaSet to override datastore default for a pull() request.
// It will use value of datastore.useDeltaSet as default.
var promise = datastore.pull(query, { useDeltaSet: true });

// Pass options.useDeltaSet to override datastore default for a pull() request.
// It will use value of datastore.useDeltaSet as default.
var promise = datastore.find(query, { useDeltaSet: true });

Open the Flex SDK GitHub repo for more information and source code.

• Enhancement: Add validation that checks if a redirectUri provided to mic.login() is a string. If the redirectUri is not a string then an Error will be thrown. #283
• Enhancement: Conforms the use of the iOS keychain to use the same settings as our Swift SDK. #257
• Fixed: Add support for kinveyFileTTL and kinveyFileTLS query parameters for KinveyFile references on a DataStore collection. #289

var dataStore = Kinvey.DataStore.collection('pets');
dataStore.findById('3f583e9f-d064-4a25-a953-6cf0a3dc2ff1', { kinveyFileTTL: 3600, kinveyFileTLS: true })
  .subscribe(function(pet) {
    /*
      {
        "_id": "3f583e9f-d064-4a25-a953-6cf0a3dc2ff1",
        "_acl": {...},
        "dogName": "Bob",
        "furColor": "brown with black spots",
        "pawPrintPicture": {
          "_type": "KinveyFile",
          "_id": "325620e4-93dd-4a26-9f84-8a5e62c0db11",

Open the Kinvey CLI GitHub repo for full documentation and source code.

• Enhancement: Previously, a datastore instance would implicitly push pending entity changes before performing a request that would overwrite the local entity changes. This change removes the implicit push and will instead return an error stating that there are entities that need to be synced before you complete the action. #276
• Enhancement: You can now provide a instanceId as a config option to init(). This will setup the backend and Mobile Identity Connect API urls to use your instanceId properly. #278

Kinvey.init({
  appKey: '<appKey>',
  appSecret: '<appSecret>'
  instanceId: '<my-subdomain>'
});

• Fixed: Check that a value is an object before calling Object.keys() in Query.isSupportedOffline(). #245
• Fixed: Use es6-promise for promises in live service related files instead of native promises. #272

• Enhancement: The default API version used by Mobile Identity Connect is now v3. #259 #268
• Enhancement: Auto Pagination Support. #260

The Kinvey backend imposes a limit of 10,000 entities on data requests. If your app needs to pull a larger number of entities to the cache, you can request the SDK to "auto-paginate". The SDK will then retrieve the entire set of entities page by page. This feature only applies to Cache and Sync stores.

var dataStore = Kinvey.DataStore.collection('books', Kinvey.DataStoreType.Sync);

//Pull the entire collection page by page.
var promise = dataStore.pull(null, { autoPagination: true })
  .then(function onSuccess(count) {
    // "count" represents the number of entities retrieved
  }).catch(function onError(error) {
    // ...
  });

If you need the array of entities retrieved by a pull in your app, you should call find after the pull has completed.

• Fixed: The authorization header for Mobile Identity Connect token requests now uses the long-form OAuth Client ID. This fix is only relevant to apps that use multiple auth providers. A detailed discussion on OAuth Client IDs can be found in the Mobile Identity Connect guide. #263

• Support for entering Instance ID instead of instance URL for dedicated client instances
• More detailed and useful error messages
• The flex deploy command now accepts --serviceId
• The flex init command now requires a profile and ignores the --email, --password, and --host options
• Support for outputting in JSON format
• New --no-color flag for disabling colors in output
• Bug fixes

Open the Kinvey CLI GitHub repo for full documentation and source code.

• Enhancement: We've restructured our class hierarchy for working with data, to facilitate future performance improvements.
• Enhancement: CacheStore methods create() and update() can now handle more concurrent requests.
• Enhancement: CacheStore.delete() method now applies the same query both locally and against the backend, instead of making separate "by-id" requests for entities found in the cache.
• Enhancement: The clear() method for a CacheStore or SyncStore now clears the sync queue.
• Enhancement: Sync items found for entities which are no longer present in cache will be cleared when a sync push is performed to prevent errors.
• Enhancement: Improved the throttling of requests when doing a sync push.
• Enhancement: Major performance improvements for WebSQL persistance.
• Fixed: Database connections to WebSQL are now cached. #241
• Fixed: Some browsers don't support Number.isNaN() so we added a polyfill. #243
• Fixed: Update typescript definitions to allow anonymouse user signup. #242
• Fixed: Export LiveServiceFacade instead of LiveService. #254
• Fixed: Our WebSQL persistance adapter will no longer throw an Error when executing several requests against the offline cache.

• Use correct config property for setting storage providers #228
• _id field not returned when specifying fields for a query #233

• Enhancement: You can now specify which storage provider to use to cache data. See the code snippet below for an example. #213

Kinvey.init({
  appKey: '<appKey>',
  appSecret: '<appSecret>'
  storage: Kinvey.StorageProvider.WebSQL // or [Kinvey.StorageProvider.WebSQL, Kinvey.StorageProvider.IndexedDB]
});

// Possible Values
enum StorageProvider {
  WebSQL,
  IndexedDB,
  LocalStorage,
  SessionStorage,
  Memory
}

• Enhancement: You can now use a datastore to perform actions on a subset of data in a collection without providing a query each time to match that subset of data. See the code snippet below for an example. #220

var datastore = Kinvey.DataStore.collection('books', Kinvey.DataStore.Sync, { tag: 'Kinvey' }); // Tag the datastore
var query = new Kinvey.Query().equalTo('author', 'Kinvey');
datastore.pull(query)
  .then(function() {
    return datastore.find().toPromise();
  })
  .then(function(books) {
    // all of these books have Kinvey as their author
  });

• Fixed: Correctly sort entities that have a null or undefined value for the sort field. #205
• Fixed: Add polyfill for Object.prototype.assign(). #225

• Fixed: Subscribe for messages sent to user's personal collections channel #172
• Fixed: Allow null and undefined values to be used in a equal and notEqual query #201

Install the latest beta using npm install -g kinvey-cli@next.

• Support for using multiple Kinvey accounts through profiles
• All Flex-related commands move under the flex namespace (e.g. status becomes flex status)
• New commands:
  • init—Initializes Kinvey CLI by prompting for credentials and configurations options
  • flex init—Configures Kinvey CLI to work with a specific Flex Service
• All commands (except for init) can now take credentials as command-line options or ENV variables
• Removed commands:
  • config
  • logout
• New command-line options specific to commands under the flex namespace
• The request timeout has been increased to 10 s

• Improvement: Use PubNub 4.19.0 rather then our custom fork. #193
• Improvement: We have updated the TypeScript definitions to support custom properties on a User instance. #183
• Improvement: Adopt a mono repo style repository. This change has no impact on the SDK output. It restructures our codebase to make releases and open source contributions easier. #171

• Integrating with FHIR APIs using Flex - Initial Release

• Roles - Created roles guide.

• status command now reports the email address (plus first/last name, if set) of deployer and the date/time at which service was deployed

• status command now reports the version of the most recently-deployed service
• logs command enhancements
  • [from] and [to] optional arguments replaced with --from and --to flags
  • Added -n (--number) and --page flags
  • Only 100 entries are returned by default unless the -n flag is supplied

• Imporvement: Live Service is now EA (Early Adopter) for our PhoneGap SDK. Please check our Live Service Guide.
• Bugfix: Support mutiple MIC providers in a single app.
• Bugfix: Data was not correctly synced with the backend when using the LocalStorageAdapter and SessionStorageAdapter.

• Fixed: Kinvey.initialize() fixed to resolve with either an instance of Kinvey.User or null.

• Added: Requests are logged using loglevel. Please refer to the Troubleshooting Guide for more information.
• Added: Support for multiple MIC providers in a single app. The SDK adds a micId to the client_id value when it makes a request to authenticate with Mobile Identity Connect.
• Added: Replace native node modules with npm packages.
• Fixed: In previous SDK versions, the active user was read and stored asychronously using the storage adapter used to cache data loaded from the datastore. This caused us to make the initialization of the SDK asychronous to read the active user from storage. Some SDK environments do not work well with an asynchronous initialization process. To fix this problem each SDK can now override the storage location to make this process work correctly for that particular SDK. The PhoneGap SDK will store the active user in LocalStorage.
• Fixed: Default to removing a user with hard equal to false. Please refer to the User Guide for more information.
• Fixed: Throw any errors encountered when trying to load a storage adapter use to cache data loaded with a data store.
• Deprecated: Kinvey.initialize() has been deprecated. Please use Kinvey.init() instead. Kinvey.init() does not return a promise.

Warning If you start using Kinvey.init() and have been using Kinvey.initialize() you will not have an active user anymore. You will need to migrate the active user to the new storage location by continuing to use Kinvey.initialize(). After the active user has been migrated you can replace Kinvey.initialize() with Kinviey.init(). You can also just logout using Kinvey.User.logout() and ask the user to login again.

// --------------------------------------------------
// Example code snippet on how to migrate active user.
// ---------------------------------------------------

var promise = Promise.resolve();

// Initialize the SDK using Kinvey.init()
Kinvey.init({
  appKey: '<appKey>',
  appSecret: '<appSecret>'
});

// Check if you have an active user.
if (!Kinvey.User.getActiveUser()) {
  promise = Kinvey.initialize({
    appKey: '<appKey>',
    appSecret: '<appSecret>'
  });
}

promise
  .then(function() {
    // ...
  });

• Fixed: Errors will now show the message property properly when logging errors to the console. #136
• Fixed: Added a try/catch around openDatabase(). This allows any errors thrown when opening a new database connection to WebSQL be caught and used to reject the pending promise. #17

• Changed: https: will automatically be used when a custom hostname is missing a protocol. #129
• Fixed: Prevent the active user from being null for a short period of time when setting the active user. #128

• Starting Your First App with DataDirect - Initial Release.

• Added: usePopupClass() as a static function to the User class for registering a popup class to be used for MIC authentication.
• Added: operation property to results returned when pushing sync items to the backend. The property either be equal to Kinvey.SyncOperation.Create, Kinvey.SyncOperation.Update, or Kinvey.SyncOperation.Delete.

var store = Kinvey.DataStore.collection('books', Kinvey.DataStoreType.Sync);
var query = new Kinvey.Query().equalTo('title', 'Kinvey');
store.remove(query)
  .then(function(response) {
    // response.count contains the count of books removed matching the query
    return store.push();
  })
  .then(function(results) {
    // Results is an array of responses from the pushing the sync items.
    // Each result object now contains an operation set to Kinvey.SyncOperation.Delete
  })

• Changed: restore() static function on the User class to throw an error whenever it is called. This function required the master secret for an application. We strongly advise not to do this in your application.
• Changed: All toJSON() functions have now been replaced by toPlainObject(). The returned result is the exact same.
• Changed: save(), create(), and update() on datastore instances to no longer accept an array of entities. See the example below to see how to save an array of entities.

var books = [{ name: 'book1' }, { name: 'book2' }];
var store = Kinvey.DataStore.collection('books');
var promises = [];

// Loop through each of the books and save them one by one.
// You can now reference a book easily in the event an error
// occurs when saving a book.
books.forEach(function(book) {
  var promise = store.save(book)
    .catch(function(error) {
      console.log('Error saving book ' + book.name);
    });
  promises.push(promise);
});

// Using a third party library wait for all the promises to complete
RSVP.Promise.all(promises)
  .then(function(books) {
    // ...
  });

• Changed: remove() and removeById() on datastore instances to now return the count of entities removed and not the actual entity removed.

var store = Kinvey.DataStore.collection('books');

// Remove books using a query
var query = new Kinvey.Query().equalTo('title', 'Kinvey');
store.remove(query)
  .then(function(response) {
    // response.count contains the count of books removed matching the query
  });

// Remove a book using an id
store.removeById('1')
  .then(function(response) {
    // response.count will equal 1 if the book was removed or 0 if the book was not removed
  });

• Removed: init() static function on Kinvey namespace. This was deprecated with v3.3.3.
• Removed: baseUrl, protocol, and host properties on a client instance. These were deprecated with v3.0.0.
• Removed: syncCount() and purge() on CacheStore and SyncStore instances. These were deprecated with v3.2.0.
• Removed Kinvey.Users and Kinvey.UserStore. These were deprecated with v3.2.0.

• Use query to push a subset of sync entities to the backend. #120
• Add more tests for query. #121
• Allow multiple sync push operations to be in progress at the same time for difference collections.. Only one sync push operation is allowed to be in progress for the same collection.

• Update CLI update check frequency (interval shortened to 30 minutes)
• Fixed bug where 'ProjectNotConfigured' was not correctly displayed after attempting to execute commands without a valid CLI configuration

• Added error.kinveyRequestId as a property to error objects. This property is set to the X-Kinvey-Request-Id header value of a Kinvey API response. It is undefined by default. #84
• Added a global get/set default timeout property on the client. The library sets the default timeout to a value of 60 seconds. You can change this value by passing a default timeout when you initialize the SDK. #85
