Axe API v1.5 is out!

v1.5 comes with one feature and a security upgrades.

Let's discover it more!

createRateLimitMiddleware()

A new function has been added to the Axe API; createRateLimitMiddleware.

You can define a custom rate-limit middleware as the following definition:

import { createRateLimitMiddleware } from "axe-api";

const myRateLimitter = (req: IncomingMessage, res: ServerResponse, next: any) =>
  createRateLimitMiddleware(req, res, next, "user-identifier", {
    maxRequests: 2,
    windowInSeconds: 10,
  });

const onBeforeInit = async (app: App) => {
  app.use(myRateLimitter);
};

Disabling x-powered-by response header

A new configuration parameter has been added. Now, you can disable x-powered-by header by using disableXPoweredByHeader value.

const config: IApplicationConfig = {
  // ...
  disableXPoweredByHeader: false,
  // ...
};

Custom relationship query hooks

You can define a onBeforeQuery hook for hasMany relationship definitions. By using that function, you can limit, or add more conditions as we wish.

const onBeforeViewQuery = async (req: AxeRequest, query: Knex.QueryBuilder) => {
  query.orderBy("id", "desc");
};

class Post extends Model {
  views() {
    return this.hasMany("PostView", "id", "post_id", {
      onBeforeQuery: onBeforeViewQuery,
    });
  }
}

Missing hooks/events on patching

PATCH hooks and events weren't working as expected. They were using the wrong hooks/events functions.

The following hooks/events definitions are added:

• onBeforePatchQuery
• onBeforePatch
• onAfterPatchQuery
• onAfterPatch

hostname configuration

A new configuration parameter has been added. Now, you can set the hostname value of the server:

const config: IApplicationConfig = {
  // ...
  hostname: "127.0.0.1",
  // ...
};
