ABP Framework 4.3 RC Has Been Published

We are super excited to announce the ABP Framework 4.3 RC (Release Candidate). Here, a list of highlights for this release;

  • CMS Kit module initial release.
  • Blazor UI server-side support.
  • Module extensibility system for the Blazor UI.
  • Angular UI resource owner password flow comes back.
  • Volo.Abp.EntityFrameworkCore.Oracle package is now compatible with .NET 5.
  • CLI support to easily add the Basic Theme into the solution.
  • New IInitLogger service to write logs before dependency injection phase completed.
  • Infrastructure for multi-lingual entities.

Beside the new features above, we've done many performance improvements, enhancements and bug fixes on the current features. See the 4.3 milestone on GitHub for all changes made on this version.

This version was a big development journey for us; 150+ issues resolved, 260+ PRs merged and 1,600+ commits done only in the main framework repository. Thanks to the ABP Framework team and all the contributors.

The Migration Guide

We normally don't make breaking changes in feature versions. However, this version has some small breaking changes mostly related to Blazor UI WebAssembly & Server separation. Please check the migration guide before starting with the version 4.3.

Get Started With The 4.3 RC

If you want to try the version 4.3 today, follow the steps below;

  1. Upgrade the ABP CLI to the version 4.3.0-rc.1 using a command line terminal:
dotnet tool update Volo.Abp.Cli -g --version 4.3.0-rc.1

or install if you haven't installed before:

dotnet tool install Volo.Abp.Cli -g --version 4.3.0-rc.1
  1. Create a new application with the --preview option:
abp new BookStore --preview

See the ABP CLI documentation for all the available options.

You can also use the Direct Download tab on the Get Started page by selecting the Preview checkbox.

What's New With The ABP Framework 4.3

CMS Kit

CMS (Content Management System) Kit was a module we were working for the last couple of months. It is usable now and we are releasing the initial version with this release. We are considering this module as pre-mature. It will be improved in the next versions. The goal to to provide a flexible and extensible CMS infrastructure to .NET community. It currently has the following features;

  • Pages: Used to create UI pages with a Markdown + WYSIWYG editor. Once you create a page, it becomes available via URL like /pages/my-page-url.
  • Blog: A built-in blog system that supports multiple blogs with blog posts.
  • Comments: Allows users to write comments under contents. It is used for blog posts.
  • Tags: To add tag feature to any type of content/entity. It is used for blog posts.
  • Reactions: Allows users to react to a content via emojis, like smile, upvote, downvote, etc.
  • Rating: This component is used to rate a content by users.

All features are separately usable. For example, you can create an image gallery and reuse the Comments and Tags features for the images. You can enable/disable features individually using the Global Features System.

We will create a separate blog post for the CMS Kit module, so I keep this short for now.

Blazor Server Side

We'd implemented Blazor WebAssembly before. With the version 4.3, we have the Blazor Server Side option too. All the current functionalities are available to the Blazor Server.

You can select Blazor Server as the UI type while creating a new solution.

Example:

abp new Acme.BookStore -u blazor-server

If you write blazor as the UI type, it will create Blazor WebAssembly just as before. You can also select the Blazor Server on the get started page.

Blazor UI Module Extensibility

Module Entity Extensions and some other extensibility features was not supported by the Blazor UI. With this version, we've implemented that system for Blazor UI.

For anyone wondering what is the module entity extensions, please check the document or this community video.

Angular UI Resource Owner Password Flow

Login page was removed from the Angular UI in previous versions, because Authorization Code flow is the recommended approach for SPAs. However, it requires to redirect user to the authentication server, login there and come back to the application. We got many feedback because this brings overhead for simple applications.

With the version 4.3, Angular UI has an option to use its own login page with resource owner password flow.

TODO: How to enable it?

Volo.Abp.EntityFrameworkCore.Oracle Package

We couldn't update the Oracle.EntityFrameworkCore package on .NET 5.0 upgrade since it was not supporting .NET 5.0 at that time. Now, it supports .NET 5.0 and we've upgraded the package.

See the documentation to learn how to switch to this package for Oracle database.
