Changelog - 2026-09-24

Repositories by discovery, a relative baseUrl, and IGNIS 0.2.0 stable

New Feature Enhancement

In one line. An HttpRepository is now declared the way IGNIS declares every repository, @repository({ type: RepositoryTypes.REMOTE, dataSource }), and discovered at start(); a datasource takes a relative baseUrl such as '/api'; and ARDOR builds on IGNIS 0.2.0, its first stable line.

This entry and 2026-09-23 ship in the same release.

What changed

• Repositories by discovery. RepositoryTypes is exported from @venizia/ardor. @repository({ type: RepositoryTypes.REMOTE, dataSource: ApiDataSource }) declares a repository with no model. @repository injects the datasource into the first constructor parameter, and start() binds the repository as a singleton. Registering by hand with this.repository(X) still works.
• A relative baseUrl. HttpDataSource accepts '/api' and resolves it against the page's location when a request is sent, so the new URL('/api', window.location.origin).href workaround is gone. It no longer calls URL.canParse, so it constructs on iOS Safari before 17 and Chrome before 120.
• The two registration styles mix. @inject({ target }) naming a datasource registered by hand is accepted by @repository (fixed in IGNIS kernel 0.2.0-47, part of stable 0.2.0).

Who is affected

• Every application. Move the IGNIS packages to the stable 0.2.0: kernel, connectors, helpers, inversion and filter. ARDOR's peers are now ^0.2.0, bounded to 0.2.x. A prerelease such as 0.2.0-47 no longer satisfies them.
• Applications that add @repository to a repository written for registration by hand. Nothing to change.
• Code with no page location (Bun, a test runner) keeps an absolute baseUrl. A relative one throws on the first request there.

Details

import {
  datasource,
  DefaultNetworkRequestService,
  repository,
  RepositoryTypes,
  useRepository,
} from '@venizia/ardor';
import { HttpDataSource, HttpRepository } from '@venizia/ardor/repository';

@datasource()
export class ApiDataSource extends HttpDataSource {
  constructor() {
    super({ baseUrl: '/api', authTokenResolver: DefaultNetworkRequestService.readAuthTokenFromStorage });
  }
}

@repository({ type: RepositoryTypes.REMOTE, dataSource: ApiDataSource })
export class ProductRepository extends HttpRepository<{ id: number; price: number }> {
  constructor(dataSource: ApiDataSource) {
    super({ dataSource, resource: 'products' });
  }
}

// Nothing in bindContext(): start() discovers both classes.
export const useProducts = () => useRepository({ target: ProductRepository });

A datasource registered by hand also works: put @inject({ target: ApiDataSource }) on the constructor parameter and call this.dataSource(ApiDataSource) in bindContext().
