After a year of uncertainty, the TypeScript team has officially confirmed that spec-compliant decorators will not support emitting type metadata.

Since decorators are used sparingly in AdonisJS, migrating away from the experimental syntax will mostly affect Dependency Injection.
RyanCavanaugh writting : "I don't think we're going to have decorator metadata in ES decorators. It's unlikely. Not impossible, but very unlikely. We are increasingly moving away from any type-based emit in all forms; it's slow, error-prone, impossible for third-party tools to replicate, and not standardized. emitDecoratorMetadata is documented as experimental, and also requires you to set another flag with experimental in the name. Features don't stop becoming experimental due to the passage of time -- if we thought they were not experimental, we would have renamed them. They're still experimental, and it's still up to each developer to understand the consequences of taking dependencies on features that are not considered stable. We tried for a very long time to align the TC39 decorator proposal with the experimental decorators that originated in TypeScript. The committee didn't land on something that exactly aligns with what we have, with one...."

This global where clause can bite you if there are `or where` conditions in your query.

To mitigate that, we are removing the top-level `orWhere` method from the query builder, and you will be forced to always define a `orWhereGroup` to write or where conditions.
Code example showing that we removed the top-level "where" method since it may cause issue with automatically added where clause.

All other parts of your application using DI will receive the same QueryClient instance during the current HTTP request.

For example, here I am fetching all the posts for a given tenant without remembering to always add this clause.
Code example showing that now, any query made by the Query Building will have the added constraint automatically added.

1. Define a middleware that creates an instance of QueryClient and auto adds the `where tenant_id clause` to all the queries.

2. Bind this instance of the QueryClient to the container.
Code example showing the creation of a new QueryClient instance, forcing a query constraint on all query and then binding the new instance to our Dependency Injection Container.

We've updated our @vite.dev and Inertia packages to support the latest versions: Vite 6.0 and Inertia 2.0.

Upgrading your application to these releases is quick and easy. There's only a small breaking change in the Inertia adapter, which can be resolved with a simple find & replace!
npm i @adonisjs/inertia@latest # and your inertia adapter npm i @adonisjs/vite@latest vite@latest

🎉 We are now 7,000 members strong on Discord and have reached 17,000 GitHub Stars.

It took us close to a decade to get these numbers. 📈

But we are enjoying this slow growth and craftsmanship. Not everything is built to take over the world. 🙌

@vite.dev is the default asset bundler in every AdonisJS app.

Not only does it bundle your frontend assets, but its API also enables server-side rendering of your #InertiaJS codebase, making your app even more powerful.

We're excited to be featured on their website today! 🙌
