This is a preview release which is not intended for use in production and has been published under the npm next tag.

To install the latest preview release, run npm install arangojs@next.

See the migration guide for detailed instructions
for upgrading your code to arangojs v9.

Removed

  • Removed Node.js 14 and Node.js 16 support

    With Node.js 14 and 16 having reached their end of life, arangojs will no
    longer support these versions of Node.js going forward.

    For more information, see the Node.js release schedule.

  • Removed Params and Headers types

    These can mostly be replaced with the native URLSearchParams and Headers
    types but most public methods still accept the equivalent Record types for
    convenience.

  • Removed deprecated FulltextIndex and related types

    Fulltext indexes have been deprecated in ArangoDB 3.10 and should be replaced
    with ArangoSearch.

  • Removed browser build

    The browser build has been removed from the repository and will no longer be
    published to npm. The npm package can still be used in the browser by using
    common frontend tooling like webpack or rollup.

Changed

  • Replaced request logic with native fetch API (#788, DE-578, DE-758)

    The node-specific request logic using the http and https modules has been
    replaced with all-new logic using the web standard fetch API, which should
    work in Node.js, browsers and other conformant environments.

  • Unicode names are now no longer automatically NFC normalized (DE-65)

    This change affects all database, collection, graph, view and analyzer names
    using unicode characters. Starting with arangojs v7.7.0 these names were
    automatically NFC normalized. This behavior has now been reverted to match
    the behavior of other ArangoDB drivers and help detect normalization issues
    in user code.

  • Changed return type of aql and the AQL join helper function to AqlQuery

    Previously the internal GeneratedAqlQuery type was exposed as the return
    type of these functions, leading to complexity when handling generic type
    arguments.

  • Removed dependency on Node path module or its browserify equivalent

    This change should be backwards-compatible but may produce different results
    when using non-normalized paths and base-paths in custom routes. This
    should help support more environments and reduce the size of the browser
    bundle.

Added

  • Added ESM support (DE-236)

    The driver now supports being imported as an ES module or CommonJS module
    and provides exports for both types of environments. This change should be
    backwards-compatible.
