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 worksBenefits:
- Prevents direct field assignment
- Enforces use of
Custom()method - No breaking changes for users
🎯 Design Philosophy
eXtensible by Design
The "X" in xb represents:
- eXtensible - Framework adaptability
- X() method - Zero-constraint escape hatch
- User freedom - "You know what you're doing"
// xb = eXtensible Builder
// ↑
// X() - Zero hardcoded constraintsThree-Layer Philosophy
-
Layer 1: Smart defaults (90% cases)
- Auto-filtering nil/0/[]
- User-friendly
-
Layer 2: Safety guards (5% cases)
- InRequired validation
- Prevent accidents
-
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
