v2.9.0

Date: 2024-04-23

What's Changed

Single Fetch (unstable)

2.9.0 introduces a future.unstable_singleFetch flag to enable to Single Fetch behavior (RFC) in your Remix application. Please refer to the docs for the full detail but the high-level changes to be aware of include:

• Naked objects returned from loader/action functions are no longer automatically serialized to JSON responses
  • Instead, they'll be streamed as-is via turbo-stream which allows direct serialization of more complex types such as Promise, Date, Map instances, and more
  • You will need to modify your tsconfig.json's compilerOptions.types array to infer types properly when using Single Fetch
• The headers export is no longer used when Single Fetch is enabled in favor of a new response stub passed to your loader/action functions
• The json/defer/redirect utilities are deprecated when using Single Fetch (but still work mostly the same)
• Actions no longer automatically revalidate on 4xx/5xx responses - you can return a 2xx to opt-into revalidation or use shouldRevalidate

[!IMPORTANT] Single Fetch requires using undici as your fetch polyfill, or using the built-in fetch on Node 20+, because it relies on APIs available there but not in the @remix-run/web-fetch polyfill. Please refer to the Undici section below for more details.

• If you are managing your own server and calling installGlobals(), you will need to call installGlobals({ nativeFetch: true }) to avoid runtime errors when using Single Fetch
• If you are using remix-serve, it will use undici automatically if Single Fetch is enabled

Undici

Remix 2.9.0 adds a new installGlobals({ nativeFetch: true }) flag to opt into using undici for the Web Fetch polyfills instead of the @remix-run/web-* packages. This change has a few primary benefits:

• It will allow us to stop maintaining our own web-std-io fork in future versions of Remix
• It should bring us more in-line with spec compliance
  • ⚠️ It is possible that some non-spec-compliant bugs in our fork will be "fixed" by moving to undici, so beware of "breaking bug fixes" and keep an eye on any advanced fetch API interactions you're performing in your app
  • ⚠️ In some cases, undici may have different behavior by design -- most notably, undici's garbage collection behavior differs and you are required to consume all fetch response bodies to avoid a memory leak in your app
• Because undici is the fetch implementation used by node internally, it should better prepare Remix apps to more smoothly drop the polyfill to use the built-in Node.js APIs on node 20+
