Version 1.21.0 Release changelog#

⚠️ Breaking change#

• setVar helper has been reworked and is not breaking anymore when used inside an each. The usage of variables is also uniformized and now requires an @. See the updated documentation for more information. (Issue #793)

New data buckets#

We added a new feature called "Data buckets". It's a key-value store available in each environment. Each data bucket is persistent and generated when the server starts. Data buckets can be directly linked to a route response or using one of the two new helpers: data and dataRaw. Read the documentation to learn more.

This first step will make the development of CRUD and GraphQL routes easier.

(Issue #783)

Dialogs default directory#

Until now, the save and open dialogs were pointing by default to Mockoon's binary folder. It could result in data loss as the folder could be wiped on some systems during an update. The dialogs now open to the application's data folder and save their current working directory as it should. (Issue #756)

Templating helpers#

• We added a new parseInt helper. (Issue #766)
• We updated Faker.js from version 6.3.0 to version 7.6.0.

Fixes#

• The date helper is now compatible with other helpers like queryParam. (Issue #781)
• The objectId helper is now an alias for Faker.js' mongodbObjectId method. (Issue #829)
• Serving a file with an unknown mime type now correctly revert to the environment Content-Type. (Issue #785)
• Duplicating a route to an environment now correctly save the new route in the environment JSON file. (Issue #790)
