Locked Versions of @pulumi/* Packages (#2089 external link)
anchor

In attempt to make things a bit more stable, we’ve decided to put a lock on the @pulumi/* NPM package versions. Locking has been achieved via the resolutions external link property in the root package.json file.

@pulumi/* NPM packages are being utilized by Pulumi, the underlying infrastructure-as-code (IaC) solution Webiny relies on. To learn more, check out the Infrastructure as Code With Pulumi key topic.
For existing projects that are being upgraded to 5.19.0, the resolutions property will be updated via the webiny upgrade command.

Pulumi SDK - Using Correct Separator When Constructing PATH Environment Variable (#2084 external link)
anchor

Because of an issue in the construction of the PATH environment variable in our internal Pulumi SDK external link, on non-Windows operating systems, users might’ve experienced an issue during deployment of their custom project applications. This has now been addressed, so new deployments should work as expected.

Thank you goes to @snstanton external link for discovering this! ️️❤️

Fixed Incorrect AWS Profile Being Logged During Deployment (#2078 external link)
anchor

In order to use the webiny deploy command, AWS credentials need to be set, which can be done in multiple ways.

When relying on environment variables, users can choose to either use a combination of AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, or a single AWS_PROFILE variable. In case of the former, we’ve noticed that, during deployment, an incorrect message would get displayed in the terminal, saying AWS profile “undefined” is being used.

This has now been addressed. From now on, when a combination of AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY environment variables is used, the AWS Access Key ID will be displayed instead.

New acl and cacheControl Options on the uploadFolderToS3 Function (#2066 external link, #2083 external link)
anchor

The uploadFolderToS3 external link is a small utility function that is used to upload a complete folder directly to an Amazon S3 bucket. At the moment, it’s used when you deploy your Admin Area and Website project applications, within apps/admin/cli/deploy.ts external link and apps/admin/cli/deploy.ts external link, respectively.

With this release, we’ve improved this utility function, by enabling users to specify the acl external link and cacheControl external link properties that will be set for every uploaded file.

Once again, a big thank you to @snstanton external link for implementing this nifty improvement! 🍻

The acl property lets you set Canned ACL for every uploaded file. To learn more, check out official AWS documentation external link.

webiny deploy Command - Introduced --deploy Flag (#2096 external link)
anchor

A new --deploy flag has been added to the webiny deploy.

By setting it to false (by passing --no-deploy), this small addition allows users to skip the deployment step, which can be useful if they only want to build the specified project application. For example:

yarn webiny deploy api --env dev --no-deploy

webiny watch Command - Fixed Multiline Logs (#2103 external link)
anchor

Previously, if you were to add multiline logs in your cloud infrastructure (Pulumi) code, the webiny watch command’s terminal output would get truncated. This has now been addressed, so you can freely add any additional multiline logs that you might need.

Button Page Element - Ability to Register a Custom Callback Handler (#2022 external link)
anchor

Prior to this release, we could say the default Button page element was a bit “basic”, since it was only capable of representing a link and nothing else. But, not anymore.

Thanks to @econtentmaps external link, the Button page element can now also be configured to execute a piece of code (a click handler) that you previously registered via the new PbButtonElementClickHandlerPlugin external link plugin.

Here are a couple of quick examples that show how to use this new plugin type:

import { PbButtonElementClickHandlerPlugin } from "@webiny/app-page-builder/types";

export default [
  // Registers a simple click handler that doesn't depend on any variables.
  {
    type: "pb-page-element-button-click-handler",
    name: "simple-handler",
    title: "A Simple Handler",
    // Once the button is clicked, we display a simple alert message.
    handler: params => {
      alert("I was clicked!");
    }
  },
  // Registers a click handler that depends on two variables (color and size).
  {
    type: "pb-page-element-button-click-handler",
    name: "handler-with-variables",
    title: "Handler With Variables",
    // Here are the variables that users will be able to set via the
    // button's "Action" settings (in the Page Builder editor).
    variables: [
      { name: "color", label: "My Color", defaultValue: "red" },
      { name: "size", label: "My Size", defaultValue: "XXL" }
    ],
    // Once the button is clicked, we simply log the received variables.
    handler: function ({ variables }) {
      console.log(variables); // Logs { color, size } object.
    }
  } as PbButtonElementClickHandlerPlugin<{ color: string; type: string }>
];

Headless CMS

Searching the Reference Field for Any Version of the Entry (#2068 external link)
anchor

For example, we have models Category and Article, and Category is a single value ref field on the Article model. Prior to 5.19.0 you could not search all Articles that have Category, for example, My Category in any version. From now on, you will be able to. Here is an example of the GraphQL Query for it:

{
  listArticles(where: { category: { entryId: "61a8c8a4625b0c0008fc8652" } }) {
    data {
      id
      category {
        id
      }
    }
  }
}

Uppercase and Lowercase Field Validators With Space (#2080 external link)
anchor

We added new validators that will match either A-Z + space or a-z + space. They are available in newly created projects from 5.19.0 onward.

If you need them in your existing project, you will need to add them in your apps/admin/code/src/plugins/headlessCms.ts file.

You need to add 4 plugins in total:

apps/admin/code/src/plugins/headlessCms.ts
import lowerCaseSpaceFieldValidator from "@webiny/app-headless-cms/admin/plugins/validators/patternPlugins/lowerCaseSpace";
import upperCaseSpaceFieldValidator from "@webiny/app-headless-cms/admin/plugins/validators/patternPlugins/upperCaseSpace";

import editorLowerCaseSpaceFieldValidator from "@webiny/app-headless-cms/admin/plugins/fieldValidators/patternPlugins/lowerCaseSpace";
import editorUpperCaseSpaceFieldValidator from "@webiny/app-headless-cms/admin/plugins/fieldValidators/patternPlugins/upperCaseSpace";

And, of course, add them to the default export array:

export default [
  // ...existing plugins
  lowerCaseSpaceFieldValidator,
  upperCaseSpaceFieldValidator,
  editorLowerCaseSpaceFieldValidator,
  editorUpperCaseSpaceFieldValidator
];
