v1.2.2

xb v1.2.2 Release Notes

Release Date: 2025-11-5

---

🎉 Overview

v1.2.2 is a quality and documentation enhancement release that adds production safety features and comprehensive developer guidance while maintaining 100% backward compatibility.

Core Theme: Smart Condition Building - The three-layer architecture for real-world applications.

---

✨ What's New

1️⃣ Production Safety: InRequired() Method

Prevent accidental mass operations with explicit validation:

// ✅ Safe: User selected IDs
selectedIDs := []int64{1, 2, 3}
xb.Of("orders").InRequired("id", toInterfaces(selectedIDs)...).Build()

// ❌ Prevented: Empty selection
selectedIDs := []int64{}
xb.Of(&Order{}).InRequired("id", toInterfaces(selectedIDs)...).Build()
// panic: InRequired("id") received empty values, this would match all records.
//        Use In() if optional filtering is intended.

Use Cases:

• Admin batch delete/update operations
• Critical data modifications
• Any scenario requiring explicit selection

Test Coverage: 18 comprehensive test cases including real-world scenarios

---

2️⃣ Builder Parameter Validation

QdrantBuilder now validates parameters at build time:

// ✅ Valid
xb.NewQdrantBuilder().
    HnswEf(512).          // Valid: >= 1
    ScoreThreshold(0.8).  // Valid: [0, 1]
    Build()

// ❌ Invalid - immediate panic
xb.NewQdrantBuilder().
    HnswEf(0).            // panic: HnswEf must be >= 1, got: 0
    Build()

Benefits:

• Fail-fast with clear error messages
• Catch configuration errors at build time
• Guide users to correct usage

---

3️⃣ Smart Condition Building Architecture

Three-Layer Design for 99% of Scenarios:

Layer	Methods	Use Cases	Coverage
Auto-Filtering	Eq/In/Like/Set	Optional user filters	90%
Required Validation	InRequired	Critical operations	5%
Ultimate Flexibility	X/Sub/Bool	Special cases	5%

// Layer 1: Auto-Filtering (90% cases)
xb.Of("users").
    Eq("age", age).              // age=0 → ignored
    In("status", statuses...).   // []    → ignored
    Build()

// Layer 2: Required (5% cases)
xb.Of("orders").
    InRequired("id", selectedIDs...). // [] → panic
    Build()

// Layer 3: Flexible (5% cases)
xb.Of("users").
    X("age = 0").              // Query age=0
    Sub("id IN ?", func(sb) {  // Type-safe subquery
        sb.Of(&VipUser{}).Select("id")
    }).
    Build()

---

4️⃣ Enhanced Documentation

New README Section: Smart Condition Building

• Three-layer architecture explained
• Usage statistics (90%/5%/5%)
• API comparison table
• Real-world examples

Method Documentation:

• X(): Zero-constraint design philosophy
• Sub(): Type-safe subquery examples
• InRequired(): Safety best practices

Examples Updated:

• Use Of(&Model{}) consistently
• Real-world scenario coverage
• Clear use case guidance

---

🔒 Internal Improvements

Field Encapsulation

// Before: Public field (could be misused)
type BuilderX struct {
    custom Custom
}

// After: Private field (enforces API)
type BuilderX struct {
    customImpl Custom  // Private
}

// Public API unchanged
builder.Custom(...)  // ✅ Still works

Benefits:

• Prevents direct field assignment
• Enforces use of Custom() method
• No breaking changes for users

---

🎯 Design Philosophy

eXtensible by Design

The "X" in xb represents:

1. eXtensible - Framework adaptability
2. X() method - Zero-constraint escape hatch
3. User freedom - "You know what you're doing"

// xb = eXtensible Builder
//      ↑
//      X() - Zero hardcoded constraints

Three-Layer Philosophy

1. Layer 1: Smart defaults (90% cases)

   • Auto-filtering nil/0/[]
   • User-friendly

2. Layer 2: Safety guards (5% cases)

   • InRequired validation
   • Prevent accidents

3. Layer 3: Ultimate flexibility (5% cases)

   • X() escape hatch
   • Zero constraints

---

📊 Testing

• Total Tests: 196+ test cases
• New Tests: 18 for InRequired
• Validation Tests: 15 for Builder validation
• Coverage: All new features tested

Test Focus:

• Real-world scenarios
• Edge cases
• Error messages
• Backward compatibility

---

🎓 Learning Resources

Quick Start

// Simple query (auto-filtering)
users := xb.Of(&User{}).
    Eq("age", age).        // Filtered if age=0
    In("status", statuses...).  // Filtered if []
    Build()

// Safe batch operation
xb.Of("orders").
    InRequired("id", selectedIDs...).  // Panic if []
    Build()

// Special values
xb.Of("users").
    X("age = 0").          // Query age=0
    Build()
