safir 2.4.0

Features

• Set up an httpx.AsyncClient as part of the application start-up and shutdown lifecycle.

• Set up structlog-based logging.

• Middleware for attaching request context to the logger to include a request UUID, method, and route in all log messages.

• Process X-Forwarded-* headers to determine the source IP and related information of the request.

• Gather and structure standard metadata about your application.

Developing Safir

The best way to start contributing to Safir is by cloning this repository creating a virtual environment, and running the init command:

git clone https://github.com/lsst-sqre/safir.git
cd safir
make init

For details, see https://safir.lsst.io/dev/development.html.

2.4.0 (2022-01-13)

• Add an initialize_kubernetes helper function to load Kubernetes configuration. Add the safir.testing.kubernetes module, which can be used to mock the Kubernetes API for testing. To use the new Kubernetes support, depend on safir[kubernetes].

2.3.0 (2021-12-13)

• When logging in JSON format, use severity instead of level for the log level for compatibility with Google Log Explorer.

• In the FastAPI logger_dependency, add log information about the incoming requst in a format compatible with Google Log Explorer.

2.2.0 (2021-11-09)

• Restore previous http_client_dependency behavior by enabling following redirects by default. This adjusts for the change of defaults in httpx 0.20.0.

2.1.1 (2021-10-29)

• Require structlog 21.2.0 and adjust logger configuration of exception handling for the expectations of that version.

2.1.0 (2021-08-09)

• Add safir.models.ErrorModel, which is a model of the error message format preferred by FastAPI. Using the model is not necessary but it’s helpful to reference it in API documentation to generate more complete information about the error messages.

• Mark all FastAPI dependencies as async so that FastAPI doesn’t run them in an external thread pool.

2.0.1 (2021-06-24)

• Defer creation of httpx.AsyncClient until the first time it is requested. Allow re-creation after aclose(), which makes it easier to write test suites.

2.0.0 (2021-06-21)

As of this release, Safir is a helper library for FastAPI applications instead of aiohttp applications. Much of the library has changed. Authors of software that uses Safir should read the documentation again as part of the upgrade to FastAPI.

Included in this release is:

• A FastAPI dependency to provide a structlog logger as configured by the safir.logging package, replacing the aiohttp middleware.

• A FastAPI dependency to provide a global httpx.AsyncClient, replacing the middleware that provided an aiohttp client.

• Starlette (FastAPI) middleware to parse X-Forwarded-* headers and update request information accordingly.

• safir.metadata.get_metadata now returns a Pydantic model.

As of this release, Safir only supports Python 3.8 or later.

1.0.0 (2021-06-18)

Safir v1 will be the major release supporting aiohttp. Starting with Safir v2, Safir will become a support library for FastAPI applications.

This release has no significant difference from 0.2.0. The version bump is to indicate that the aiohttp support is stable.

0.2.0 (2021-06-10)

• configure_logging now supports an optional add_timestamp parameter (false by default) that adds a timestamp to each log message.

• Update dependencies.

0.1.1 (2021-01-14)

• Fix duplicated log output when logging is configured multiple times.

• Update dependencies.

0.1.0 (2020-02-26)

• The first release of Safir featuring:

  • safir.http for adding an aiohttp.ClientSession to your application.

  • safir.logging for configuring structlog loggers.

  • safir.metadata helps your gather and structure metadata about your application for publishing on metadata endpoints.

  • safir.middleware includes a logging middleware that adds a logger with bound context about the request to your Request object.

  • Documentation about these features and a tutorial for starting a new application with the roundtable_aiohttp_bot template.
