@typespec/compiler New Features

  • New Language Feature Added string template literal in typespec. Single and multi-line strings can be interpolated with ${ and }. Example \\Doc for url ${url} is here: ${location}\\
  • [Emitter Framework]: emitTypeReference function takes an optional reference context that can be used to patch the context for the target.
  • [Emitter Framework]: Added absolute-path as a known format for emitter options which will validate the value passed by the user resolve to an absolute path.
  • [Emitter Framework]: Allow scalar and enum declarations to provide a reference context.
  • [Emitter Framework]: Allow passing a custom context when calling emitType.
  • Linter rules can now supply a full url to documentation.
  • Upgrade formatter to prettier version 3.1.

@typespec/http New Features

  • Add diagnostic when a namespace exists with routes, but no namespace is marked with @service.

@typespec/json-schema New Features

  • Add support for simple literal default on model properties.
  • Add support for StringTemplate literals.

@typespec/openapi3 New Features

  • Now emits all properties of unreferenced schemas.
  • Treat union variants as Discriminator.
  • Emitter will now emit all properties of unreferenced schemas.

@typespec/playground New features

  • Add a format button to the playground command bar.
  • Add a notification to the standalone playground when the playground has been saved.
  • Enable changing the theme.
  • Add resizable panes for the editor and output
  • Add ability to pass a custom footer and use Footer and FooterItem component to build your own.
  • Add noopener noreferrer to footer external link
  • Move errors and warnings to a dedicated expandable banner at the bottom of the playground.
  • BREAKING CHANGE Styles must be imported seperately with import \"@typespec/playground/styles.css\";
  • Allow standalone playground to show a loading fallback.
  • Upgrade swagger-ui component.

@typespec/rest New Features

Bug Fixes

@typespec/compiler Bug Fixes

  • [Formatter]: Fix: Preserve parentheses in valueof expressions inside a union or array (e.g. (value of strring) | Model).
  • Fix: Union variants are now assigned to the parent union.

@typespec/json-schema Bug Fixes

  • Fix: Enum with a value of 0 would have resulted in type of string and number.
  • Fix: Scalar constraints combine with base scalar constraints.
  • Fix @maxValueExclusive setting minimumExclusive instead of maximumExclusive

@typespec/openapi3 Bug Fixes

  • Fix: Report diagnostic instead of throwing errors in the case of duplicate ids or unknown scalar.
  • FIX: Handle bytes as a multipart part type correctly and produce type: string, format: binary

@typespec/playground Bug Fixes

  • Configure the program viewer to respect the color theme”,

@typespec/versioning Bug Fixes

  • Fix crash in versioning library`.

Breaking Changes

  • New Language Feature string interpolation to strings in TypeSpec. Strings that use the sequence ${ are now expected to start a reference to an interpolated value. Strings that contain ${ and are not meant for interpolation must now be escaped with a \, like this: \${.

Semantic Changes in OpenApi3 Output

  • Previously, unreferenced Model types (types not used in any operation) were emitted using read visibility, meaning that properties that had only create or update visibility would not be included in the corresponding schema in the @typespec/openapi3 emitter. In this release, all properties of unreferenced Model types will appear in the output.
  • Previously, bytes types that appeared in a multipart/form-data request or response would be marked as a base64 encoded string. In this release, multipart/form-data bytes types appearing in parts with an object type will be treated as a base64-encoded string, while those in non-model parts will appear as raw binary data.
