1.1.1

1.1.0

The following changes are made per 600896 and pertain exclusively to models made with Mendix 6.1.0 and above:

• Introduced a new modeling construct SelectorDatabaseSource for pages.
• DatabaseConstraint cannot be created directly in a DatabaseSourceBase instance anymore. Instead, use the create method of DatabaseConstraint and assign the instance explicitly to a suitable container, as in, databaseConstraints of either an instance of (a sub type of) DatabaseSourceBase or SelectorDatabaseSource.
• These properties have been deleted, so should not be accessed on models with Mendix 6.1.0 and above:
  • systemEntityType of both MsdMicroflow and MsdMicroflowParameter,
  • parameterTypeName of ExportMapping, and
  • allowSimpleMappingInheritance of OperationInfo.

1.0.2

This release replaces all previous SDK versions as our API endpoints have been changed and finalized. Please run npm update mendixmodelsdk --save.

Introducing structure factories

In this release we moved from argument less constructors to factory methods. This has a few advantages: 1. We can perform more consistency checks upfront, such as whether the type you are creating is available in the Mendix version of your project. 2. Factories can be overloaded in many more ways than constructors, this allows us to introduce even more convenience factories in the future.

So if you had:

<code>function newEntity(domainModel: domainmodels.DomainModel, name: string) {
	var entity = new domainmodels.Entity();
	domainModel.entities.push(entity);
	entity.name = name;

	return entity;
}</code>

This will become:

<code>function newEntity(domainModel: domainmodels.DomainModel, name: string) {
	var entity = domainmodels.Entity.create(domainModel.model); // all factories need to know about the owning model
	domainModel.entities.push(entity);
	entity.name = name;

	return entity;
}</code>

This seems to make it less convenient to make new structures. However, we introduced convenience factory methods that automatically create new elements and registers them on their parent. So from this release onward you can just write:

<code>function newEntity(domainModel: domainmodels.DomainModel, name: string) {
	var entity = domainmodels.Entity.createIn(domainModel); // pass the domainModel instead of a model
	entity.name = name;

	return entity;
}</code>

You will notice that this significantly reduces the amount of boilerplate code in application generators.
