Such symbols must comply with the values of the [`HTTP::Status`](https://crystal-lang.org/api/HTTP/Status.html) enum.
* The hash of matched routing parameters that is available from handlers through the use of the `#params` method can accept symbols and strings when performing key lookups.

This strategy (described in the [Heal The Breach paper](https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9754554)) involves introducing up to 100 random bytes into GZip responses to enhance the security against such attacks.

-title: Testing
-description: Learn how to test your Marten project.
-sidebar_label: Testing
----
-
-This section covers the basics regarding how to test a Marten project and the various tools that you can leverage in this regard.
-
-## The basics
-
-You should test your Marten project to ensure that it adheres to the specifications it was built for. Like any Crystal project, Marten lets you write "specs" (see the [official documentation related to testing in Crystal](https://crystal-lang.org/reference/guides/testing.html) to learn more about those).
-
-By default, when creating a project through the use of the [`new`](./reference/management-commands.md#new) management command, Marten will automatically create a `spec/` folder at the root of your project structure. This folder contains a unique `spec_helper.cr` file allowing you to initialize the test environment for your Marten project.
-
-This file should look something like this:
-
-```crystal title=spec/spec_helper.cr
-ENV["MARTEN_ENV"] = "test"
-
-require "spec"
-require "marten"
-require "marten/spec"
-
-require "../src/project"
-```
-
-As you can see, the `spec_helper.cr` file forces the Marten environment variable to be set to `test` and requires the spec library as well as Marten and your actual project. This file should be required by all your spec files.
-
-:::info
-It's very important to require `marten/spec` in your top-level spec helper as this will ensure that the mandatory spec callbacks are configured for your spec suite (eg. in order to ensure that your database is properly set up before each spec is executed).
-:::
-
-When it comes to running your tests, you can simply make use of the standard [`crystal spec`](https://crystal-lang.org/reference/man/crystal/index.html#crystal-spec) command.
-
-## Writing tests
-
-To write tests, you should write regular [specs](https://crystal-lang.org/reference/guides/testing.html) and ensure that your spec files always require the `spec/spec_helper.cr` file.
-
-For example:
-
-```crystal
-require "./spec_helper"
-
-describe MySuperAbstraction do
- describe "#foo" do
- it "returns bar" do
- obj = MySuperAbstraction.new
- obj.foo.should eq "bar"
- end
- end
-end
-```
-
-You are encouraged to organize your spec files by following the structure of your projects. For example, you could create a `models` folder and define specs related to your models in it.
-
-:::tip
-When organizing spec files across multiple folders, one good practice is to define a `spec_helper.cr` file at each level of your folders structure. These additional `spec_helper.cr` files should require the same file from the parent folder.
-
-For example:
-
-```crystal title=spec/models/spec_helper.cr
-require "../spec_helper"
-```
-
-```crystal title=spec/models/article_spec.cr
-require "./spec_helper"
-
-describe Article do
- # ...
-end
-```
-:::
-
-## Running tests
-
-As mentioned before, running specs involves making use of the standard [`crystal spec`](https://crystal-lang.org/reference/man/crystal/index.html#crystal-spec) command.
-
-### The test environment
-
-By default, the [`new`](./reference/management-commands.md#new) management command always creates a `test` environment when generating new projects. As such, you should ensure that the `MARTEN_ENV` environment variable is set to `test` when running your Crystal specs. It should also be reminded that this `test` environment is associated with a dedicated settings file where test-related settings can be specified and/or overridden if necessary (see [Settings](./settings.md#environments) for more details about this).
-
-### The test database
-
-Marten **must** use a different database when running tests in order to not tamper with your regular database. Indeed, the database used in the context of specs will be flushed and generated automatically every time the specs suite is executed. You should not set these database names to the same names as the ones used for your development or production environments. If test database names are not explicitly set, your specs suite won't be allowed to run at all.
-
-One way to ensure you use a dedicated database specifically for tests is to override the [`database`](./reference/settings.md#database-settings) settings as follows:
-
-```crystal title=config/settings/test.cr
-Marten.configure :test do |config|
- config.database do |db|
- db.name = "my_project_test"
- end
-end
-```

-title: Schema fields
-description: Schema fields reference.
----
-
-This page provides a reference for all the available field options and field types that can be used when defining schemas.
-
-## Common field options
-
-The following field options can be used for all the available field types when declaring schema fields using the `field` macro.
-
-### `required`
-
-The `required` argument can be used to specify whether a schema field is required or not required. The default value for this argument is `true`.
-
-## Field types
-
-### `bool`
-
-A `bool` field allows validating boolean values.
-
-### `date_time`
-
-A `date_time` field allows validating date time values. Fields using this type are converted to `Time` objects in Crystal.
-
-### `date`
-
-A `date` field allows validating date values. Fields using this type are converted to `Time` objects in Crystal.
-
-### `file`
-
-A `file` field allows validating uploaded files. In addition to the [common field options](#common-field-options), such fields support the following arguments:
-
-#### `allow_empty_files`
-
-The `allow_empty_files` argument allows defining whether empty files are allowed or not when files are validated. The default value is `false`.
-
-#### `max_name_size`
-
-The `max_name_size` argument allows defining the maximum file name size allowed. The default value is `nil`, which means that uploaded file name sizes are not validated.
-
-### `float`
-
-A `float` field allows validating float values. Fields using this type are converted to `Float64` objects in Crystal. In addition to the [common field options](#common-field-options), such fields support the following arguments:
-
-#### `max_value`
-
-The `max_value` argument allows defining the maximum value allowed. The default value for this argument is `nil`, which means that the maximum value is not validated by default.
-
-#### `min_value`
-
-The `min_value` argument allows defining the minimum value allowed. The default value for this argument is `nil`, which means that the minimum value is not validated by default.
-
-### `int`
-
-An `int` field allows validating integer values. Fields using this type are converted to `Int64` objects in Crystal. In addition to the [common field options](#common-field-options), such fields support the following arguments:
-
-#### `max_value`
-
-The `max_value` argument allows defining the maximum value allowed. The default value for this argument is `nil`, which means that the maximum value is not validated by default.
-
-#### `min_value`
-
-The `min_value` argument allows defining the minimum value allowed. The default value for this argument is `nil`, which means that the minimum value is not validated by default.
-
-### `string`
-
-A `string` field allows validating string values. In addition to the [common field options](#common-field-options), such fields support the following arguments:
-
-#### `max_size`
-
-The `max_size` argument allows defining the maximum size allowed for the string. The default value for this argument is `nil`, which means that the maximum size is not validated by default.
-
-#### `min_size`
-
-The `min_size` argument allows defining the minimum size allowed for the string. The default value for this argument is `nil`, which means that the minimum size is not validated by default.
-
-#### `strip`
-
-The `strip` argument allows defining whether the string value should be stripped of leading and trailing whitespaces. The default is `true`.
-
-### `uuid`
-
-A `uuid` field allows validating Universally Unique IDentifiers (UUID) values. Fields using this type are converted to `UUID` objects in Crystal.

-title: Template filters
-description: Template filters reference.
----
-
-This page provides a reference for all the available filters that can be used when defining [templates](../introduction.md).
-
-## `capitalize`
-
-The `capitalize` filter allows to modify a string so that the first letter is converted to uppercase and all the subsequent letters are converted to lowercase.
-
-For example:
-
-```html
-{{ value|capitalize }}
-```
-
-If `value` is "marten", the output will be "Marten".
-
-## `default`
-
-The `default` filter allows to fallback to a specific value if the left side of the filter expression is not truthy. A filter argument is mandatory. It should be noted that empty strings are considered truthy and will be returned by this filter.
-
-For example:
-
-```html
-{{ value|default:"foobar" }}
-```
-
-If `value` is `nil` (or `0` or `false`), the output will be "foobar".
-
-## `downcase`
-
-The `downcase` filter allows to convert a string so that each of its characters is lowercase.
-
-For example:
-
-```html
-{{ value|downcase }}
-```
-
-If `value` is "Hello", then the output will be "hello".
-
-## `safe`
-
-The `safe` filter allows to mark that a string is safe and that it should not be escaped before being inserted in the final output of a rendered template. Indeed, string values are always automatically HTML-escaped by default in templates.
-
-For example:
-
-```html
-{{ value|safe }}
-```
-
-If `value` is `
Hello
`, then the output will be `
Hello
` as well.
-
-## `size`
-
-The `size` filter allows returning the size of a string or an enumerable object.
-
-For example:
-
-```html
-{{ value|size }}
-```
-
-If `value` is `hello`, then the output will be 5.
-
-## `upcase`
-
-The `upcase` filter allows to convert a string so that each of its characters is uppercase.
-
-For example:
-
-```html
-{{ value|upcase }}
-```
-
-If `value` is "Hello", then the output will be "HELLO".

+### Serving assets using a middleware
+
+There are some situations where it is not possible to easily configure a web server such as [Nginx](https://nginx.org) or a third-party service (like Amazon's S3 or GCS) to serve your assets directly. To palliate this, Marten provides the [`Marten::Middleware::AssetServing`](../handlers-and-http/reference/middlewares.md#asset-serving-middleware) middleware.
+
+The purpose of this middleware is to distribute collected assets stored under the configured assets root ([`assets.root`](../development/reference/settings.md#root) setting). These assets are assumed to have been collected using the [`collectassets`](../development/reference/management-commands.md#collectassets) management command, and it is also assumed that a "local file system" storage (such as [`Marten::Core::Store::FileSystem`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Core/Storage/FileSystem.html)) is used.
+
+In order to use this middleware, you can "insert" the corresponding class at the beginning of the [`middleware`](../development/reference/settings.md#middleware) setting when defining production settings. For example:
+
+```crystal
+Marten.configure :production do |config|
+ config.middleware.unshift(Marten::Middleware::AssetServing)
+
+ # Other settings...
+end
+```
+
+It is important to note that the [`assets.url`](../development/reference/settings.md#url) setting must align with the Marten application domain or correspond to a relative URL path (e.g., /assets/) for this middleware to work correctly. This guarantees proper mapping and accessibility of the assets within the application, allowing them to be served by this middleware.

+title: Introduction to authentication
+description: Learn how to set up authentication for your Marten project.
+sidebar_label: Introduction
+---
+
+Marten allows the generation of new projects with a built-in authentication application that handles basic user management needs. You can then extend and adapt this application so that it accommodates your project's needs.
+
+## Overview
+
+Marten's [`new`](../development/reference/management-commands.md#new) management command allows the generation of projects with a built-in `auth` application. The same application can also be added to existing projects by leveraging the [`auth`](../development/reference/generators.md#auth) generator.
+
+The generated authentication application is part of your project: it provides the necessary [models](../models-and-databases.mdx), [handlers](../handlers-and-http.mdx), [schemas](../schemas.mdx), [emails](../emailing.mdx), and [templates](../templates.mdx) allowing to authenticate users with email addresses and passwords, while also supporting standard password reset flows. On top of that, an `Auth::User` model is automatically generated for your newly created projects. Since this model is also part of your project, this means that it's possible to easily add new fields to it and generate migrations for it as well.
+
+Here is the list of responsibilities of the generated authentication application:
+
+* Signing up users
+* Signing in users
+* Signing out users
+* Allowing users to reset their passwords
+* Allowing users to access a basic profile page
+
+Internally, this authentication application relies on the official [`marten-auth`](https://github.com/martenframework/marten-auth) shard. This shard implements low-level authentication operations (such as authenticating user credentials, generating securely encrypted passwords, generating password reset tokens, etc).
+
+## Generating projects with authentication
+
+Generating new projects with authentication can be easily achieved by leveraging the `--with-auth` option of the [`new`](../development/reference/management-commands.md#new) management command.
+
+For example:
+
+```bash
+marten new project myblog --with-auth
+```
+
+When using this option, Marten will generate an `auth` [application](../development/applications.md) under the `src/apps/auth` folder of your project. As mentioned previously, this application provides a set of [models](../models-and-databases.mdx), [handlers](../handlers-and-http.mdx), [schemas](../schemas.mdx), [emails](../emailing.mdx), and [templates](../templates.mdx) that implement basic authentication operations.
+
+You can test the generated authentication application by going to your application at [http://localhost:8000/auth/signup](http://localhost:8000/auth/signup) after having started the Marten development server (using `marten serve`).
+
+:::info
+You can see the full list of files generated for the `auth` application in [Generated files](./reference/generated-files.md).
+:::
+
+## Adding authentication to existing projects
+
+The [`auth`](../development/reference/generators.md#auth) generator can be leveraged in order to add an authentication application to an existing project.
+
+For example, the following command will add a new authentication app with the `auth` label to the current project:
+
+```bash
+marten gen auth
+```
+
+:::tip
+Note that you can also customize the label given to the generated authentication app by providing an additional argument containing the intended app label:
+
+```bash
+marten gen auth my_auth
+```
+:::
+
+This generator will add an authentication application under your project's `src` folder (or `src/apps` folder if it is defined). As mentioned previously, this application provides a set of [models](../models-and-databases.mdx), [handlers](../handlers-and-http.mdx), [schemas](../schemas.mdx), [emails](../emailing.mdx), and [templates](../templates.mdx) that implement basic authentication operations.
+
+Note that the generator will also add the generated application to the [`installed_apps`](../development/reference/settings.md#installed_apps) setting and will also configure Crystal requirements for it (in the `src/project.cr` and `src/cli.cr` files). It will also add authentication-related settings to your base settings file and will add the [`marten-auth`](https://github.com/martenframework/marten-auth) shard to your project's `shard.yml` automatically.
+
+:::info
+You can see the full list of files generated for the generated authentication application in [Generated files](./reference/generated-files.md).
+:::
+
+:::tip
+Don't forget to run [`marten migrate`](../development/reference/management-commands.md#migrate) after the authentication app has been generated so that your user model gets created at the database level. You should also check the `config/routes.cr` file or run the [`marten routes`](../development/reference/management-commands.md#routes) management command to see the routes associated with your generated authentication app.
+:::
+
+## Usage
+
+This section covers the basics of how to use the `auth` application - powered by [`marten-auth`](https://github.com/martenframework/marten-auth) - that is generated when creating projects with the `--with-auth` option.
+
+### The `User` model
+
+The `auth` application defines a single `Auth::User` model that inherits its fields from the abstract `MartenAuth::User` model. As such, this model automatically provides the following fields:
+
+* `id` - a [`big_int`](../models-and-databases/reference/fields.md#big_int) field containing the primary key of the user
+* `email` - an [`email`](../models-and-databases/reference/fields.md#email) field containing the user's email address
+* `password` - a [`string`](../models-and-databases/reference/fields.md#string) field containing the user's encrypted password
+* `created_at` - a [`date_time`](../models-and-databases/reference/fields.md#date_time) field containing the user creation date
+* `updated_at` - a [`date_time`](../models-and-databases/reference/fields.md#date_time) field containing the last user modification date
+
+### Retrieving the current user
+
+Projects that are generated with the `auth` application automatically make use of a middleware (`MartenAuth::Middleware`) that ensures that the currently authenticated user ID is associated with the current request. This means that given a specific HTTP request (instance of [`Marten::HTTP::Request`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/HTTP/Request.html)), it is possible to identify which user is signed-in or not. Concretely, the following methods are made available on the standard [`Marten::HTTP::Request`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/HTTP/Request.html) object in order to interact with the currently signed-in user:
+
+| Method | Description |
+| --- | --- |
+| `#user_id` | Returns the current user ID associated with the considered request, or `nil` if there is no authenticated user. |
+| `#user` | Returns the user associated with the request, or `nil` if there is no authenticated user. |
+| `#user!` | Returns the user associated with the request, or raise `NilAssertionError` if there is no authenticated user. |
+| `#user?` | Returns `true` if a user is authenticated for the request. |
+
+This makes it possible to easily check whether a user is authenticated in handlers in order to implement different logic. For example:
+
+```crystal
+class MyHandler < Marten::Handler
+ def get
+ if request.user?
+ respond "User ##{request.user!.id} is signed-in"
+ else
+ respond "No signed-in user"
+ end
+ end
+end
+```
+
+### Creating users
+
+Creating a user is as simple as initializing an instance of the `Auth::User` model and defining its properties. That being said it is important to note that the user's password (`password` field) must be set using the `#set_password` method: this will ensure that the _raw_ password you provide to this method is properly encrypted and that the resulting hash is assigned to the `password` field. Because of this, you should not attempt to manipulate the `password` field attribute of user records directly.
+
+For example:
+
+```crystal
+user = Auth::User.new(email: "test@example.com") do |user|
+ user.set_password("insecure")
+end
+
+user.save!
+```
+
+### Authenticating users
+
+Authentication is the act of verifying a user's credentials. This capability is provided by the [`marten-auth`](https://github.com/martenframework/marten-auth) shard through the use of the `MartenAuth#authenticate` method: this method tries to authenticate the user associated identified by a natural key (typically, an email address) and check that the given raw password is valid. The method returns the corresponding user record if the authentication is successful. Otherwise, it returns `nil` if the credentials can't be verified because the user does not exist or because the password is invalid.
+
+For example:
+
+```crystal
+user = MartenAuth.authenticate("test@example.com", "insecure")
+if user
+ puts "User credentials are valid!"
+else
+ puts "User credentials are not valid!"
+end
+```
+
+:::caution
+It is important to realize that this method _only_ verifies user credentials. **It does not sign in users** for a specific request. Signing in users (and attaching them to the current session) is handled by the `#sign_in` method, which is discussed in [Signing in users](#signing-in-users).
+:::
+
+:::info
+The `MartenAuth#authenticate` method is automatically used by the handlers that are generated for your `auth` application before signing in users.
+:::
+
+### Signing in users
+
+Signing in a user is the act of attaching it to the current session - after having verified that the associated credentials are valid (see [Authenticating users](#authenticating-users)). This capability is provided by the [`marten-auth`](https://github.com/martenframework/marten-auth) shard through the use of the `MartenAuth#sign_in` method: This method takes a request object (instance of [`Marten::HTTP::Request`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/HTTP/Request.html)) and a user record as arguments and ensures that the user ID is attached to the current session so that they do not have to reauthenticate for every request.
+
+For example:
+
+```crystal
+class MyHandler < Marten::Handler
+ def post
+ user = MartenAuth.authenticate(request.data["email"].to_s, request.data["password"].to_s)
+
+ if user
+ MartenAuth.sign_in(request, user)
+ redirect reverse("auth:profile")
+ else
+ redirect reverse("auth:sign_in")
+ end
+ end
+end
+```
+
+:::caution
+It is important to understand that this method is intended to be used for a user record whose credentials were validated using the `#authenticate` method beforehand. See [Authenticating users](#authenticating-users) for more details.
+:::
+
+### Signing out users
+
+The ability to sign out users is provided by the [`marten-auth`](https://github.com/martenframework/marten-auth) shard through the use of the `MartenAuth#sign_out` method: this method takes a request object (instance of [`Marten::HTTP::Request`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/HTTP/Request.html)) as argument, removes the authenticated user ID from the current request, and flushes the associated session data.
+
+For example:
+
+```crystal
+class MyHandler < Marten::Handler
+ def get
+ MartenAuth.sign_out(request)
+ redirect reverse("auth:sign_in")
+ end
+end
+```
+
+### Changing a user's password
+
+The ability to change a user password is provided by the `#set_password` method of the `Auth::User` model (which is inherited from the `MartenAuth::User` abstract class that is provided by the [`marten-auth`](https://github.com/martenframework/marten-auth) shard).
+
+For example:
+
+```crystal
+use = User.get!(email: "test@example.com")
+user.set_password("insecure")
+user.save!
+```
+
+:::info
+Passwords are encrypted using [`Crypto::Bcrypt`](https://crystal-lang.org/api/Crypto/Bcrypt.html).
+:::
+
+As mentioned previously, you should not attempt to manipulate the `password` field directly: this field contains the hash value that results from the encryption of the raw password.
+
+### Limiting access to signed-in users
+
+Limiting access to signed-in users can easily be achieved by leveraging the `#user?` method that is available from [`Marten::HTTP::Request`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/HTTP/Request.html) objects. Using this method, you can easily implement [`#before_dispatch`](../handlers-and-http/callbacks.md#before_dispatch) handler callbacks in order to redirect anonymous users to a sign-in page or to an error page.
+
+For example:
+
+```crystal
+class UserProfileHandler < Marten::Handler
+ before_dispatch :require_signed_in_user
+
+ def get
+ render "auth/profile.html" { user: request.user }
+ end
+
+ private def require_signed_in_user
+ redirect reverse("auth:sign_in") unless request.user?
+ end
+end
+```
+
+It should be noted that the `auth` application generated for your project already contains an `Auth::RequireSignedInUser` concern module that you can include in your handlers in order to ensure that they can only be accessed by signed-in users (and that anonymous users are redirected to the sign-in page).
+
+For example:
+
+```crystal
+class UserProfileHandler < Marten::Handler
+ include Auth::RequireSignedInUser
+
+ def get
+ render "auth/profile.html" { user: request.user }
+ end
+end
+```

+title: Create cache stores
+description: How to create custom cache stores.
+---
+
+Marten lets you easily create custom [cache stores](../introduction.md#configuration-and-cache-stores) that you can then use as part of your application when it comes to perform caching operations.
+
+## Basic store definition
+
+Defining a cache store is as simple as creating a class that inherits from the [`Marten::Caching::Store::Base`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Cache/Store/Base.html) abstract class and that implements the following methods:
+
+* [`#clear`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Cache/Store/Base.html#clear-instance-method) - called when clearing the cache
+* [`#decrement`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Cache/Store/Base.html#decrement(key%3AString%2Camount%3AInt32%3D1%2Cexpires_at%3ATime|Nil%3Dnil%2Cexpires_in%3ATime%3A%3ASpan|Nil%3Dnil%2Cversion%3AInt32|Nil%3Dnil%2Crace_condition_ttl%3ATime%3A%3ASpan|Nil%3Dnil%2Ccompress%3ABool|Nil%3Dnil%2Ccompress_threshold%3AInt32|Nil%3Dnil)%3AInt-instance-method) - called when decrementing an integer value in the cache
+* [`#delete_entry`](pathname:///http://localhost:3000/docs/api/dev/Marten/Cache/Store/Base.html#delete_entry%28key%3AString%29%3ABool-instance-method) - called when deleting an entry from the cache
+* [`#increment`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Cache/Store/Base.html#increment(key%3AString%2Camount%3AInt32%3D1%2Cexpires_at%3ATime|Nil%3Dnil%2Cexpires_in%3ATime%3A%3ASpan|Nil%3Dnil%2Cversion%3AInt32|Nil%3Dnil%2Crace_condition_ttl%3ATime%3A%3ASpan|Nil%3Dnil%2Ccompress%3ABool|Nil%3Dnil%2Ccompress_threshold%3AInt32|Nil%3Dnil)%3AInt-instance-method) - called when incrementing an integer value in the cache
+* [`#read_entry`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Cache/Store/Base.html#read_entry(key%3AString)%3AString|Nil-instance-method) - called when reading an entry in the cache
+* [`#write_entry`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Cache/Store/Base.html#write_entry(key%3AString%2Cvalue%3AString%2Cexpires_in%3ATime%3A%3ASpan|Nil%3Dnil%2Crace_condition_ttl%3ATime%3A%3ASpan|Nil%3Dnil)-instance-method) - called when writing an entry to the cache
+
+For example, the following snippet implements an in-memory store that persists cache entries in a hash:
+
+```crystal
+class MemoryStore < Marten::Cache::Store::Base
+ @data = {} of String => String
+
+ def initialize(
+ @namespace : String? = nil,
+ @expires_in : Time::Span? = nil,
+ @version : Int32? = nil,
+ @compress = false,
+ @compress_threshold = DEFAULT_COMPRESS_THRESHOLD
+ )
+ super
+ end
+
+ def clear : Nil
+ @data.clear
+ end
+
+ def decrement(
+ key : String,
+ amount : Int32 = 1,
+ expires_at : Time? = nil,
+ expires_in : Time::Span? = nil,
+ version : Int32? = nil,
+ race_condition_ttl : Time::Span? = nil,
+ compress : Bool? = nil,
+ compress_threshold : Int32? = nil
+ ) : Int
+ apply_increment(
+ key,
+ amount: -amount,
+ expires_at: expires_at,
+ expires_in: expires_in,
+ version: version,
+ race_condition_ttl: race_condition_ttl,
+ compress: compress,
+ compress_threshold: compress_threshold
+ )
+ end
+
+ def increment(
+ key : String,
+ amount : Int32 = 1,
+ expires_at : Time? = nil,
+ expires_in : Time::Span? = nil,
+ version : Int32? = nil,
+ race_condition_ttl : Time::Span? = nil,
+ compress : Bool? = nil,
+ compress_threshold : Int32? = nil
+ ) : Int
+ apply_increment(
+ key,
+ amount: amount,
+ expires_at: expires_at,
+ expires_in: expires_in,
+ version: version,
+ race_condition_ttl: race_condition_ttl,
+ compress: compress,
+ compress_threshold: compress_threshold
+ )
+ end
+
+ private getter data
+
+ private def apply_increment(
+ key : String,
+ amount : Int32 = 1,
+ expires_at : Time? = nil,
+ expires_in : Time::Span? = nil,
+ version : Int32? = nil,
+ race_condition_ttl : Time::Span? = nil,
+ compress : Bool? = nil,
+ compress_threshold : Int32? = nil
+ )
+ normalized_key = normalize_key(key.to_s)
+ entry = deserialize_entry(read_entry(normalized_key))
+
+ if entry.nil? || entry.expired? || entry.mismatched?(version || self.version)
+ write(
+ key: key,
+ value: amount.to_s,
+ expires_at: expires_at,
+ expires_in: expires_in,
+ version: version,
+ race_condition_ttl: race_condition_ttl,
+ compress: compress,
+ compress_threshold: compress_threshold
+ )
+ amount
+ else
+ new_amount = entry.value.to_i + amount
+ entry = Entry.new(new_amount.to_s, expires_at: entry.expires_at, version: entry.version)
+ write_entry(normalized_key, serialize_entry(entry))
+ new_amount
+ end
+ end
+
+ private def delete_entry(key : String) : Bool
+ deleted_entry = @data.delete(key)
+ !!deleted_entry
+ end
+
+ private def read_entry(key : String) : String?
+ data[key]?
+ end
+
+ private def write_entry(
+ key : String,
+ value : String,
+ expires_in : Time::Span? = nil,
+ race_condition_ttl : Time::Span? = nil
+ )
+ data[key] = value
+ true
+ end
+end
+```
+
+## Enabling the use of custom cache stores
+
+Custom cache store can be used by assigning an instance of the corresponding class to the [`cache_store`](../../development/reference/settings.md#cache-store1) setting.
+
+For example:
+
+```crystal
+config.cache_store = MemoryStore.new
+```

+title: Introduction to caching
+description: Learn how to leverage caching in a Marten project.
+sidebar_label: Introduction
+---
+
+Marten provides a set of features allowing you to leverage caching as part of your application. By using caching, you can save the result of expensive operations so that you don't have to perform them for every request.
+
+## Configuration and cache stores
+
+In order to be able to leverage caching in your application, you need to configure a "cache store". A cache store allows interacting with the underlying cache system and performing basic operations such as fetching cached entries, writing new entries, etc. Depending on the chosen cache store, these operations could be performed in-memory or by leveraging external caching systems such as [Redis](https://redis.io) or [Memcached](https://memcached.org).
+
+The global cache store used by Marten can be configured by leveraging the [`cache_store`](../development/reference/settings.md#cache_store) setting. All the available cache stores are listed in the [cache store reference](./reference/stores.md).
+
+For example, the following configuration configures an in-memory cache as the global cache:
+
+```crystal
+Marten.configure do |config|
+ config.cache_store = Marten::Cache::Store::Memory.new.new(expires_in: 24.hours)
+end
+```
+
+:::info
+By default, Marten uses an in-memory cache (instance of [`Marten::Cache::Store::Memory`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Cache/Store/Memory.html)). Note that this simple in-memory cache does not allow to perform cross-process caching since each process running your app will have its own private cache instance. In situations where you have multiple separate processes running your application, it's preferable to use a proper caching system such as [Redis](https://redis.io) or [Memcached](https://memcached.org), which can be done by leveraging respectively the [`marten-redis-cache`](https://github.com/martenframework/marten-redis-cache) or [`marten-memcached-cache`](https://github.com/martenframework/marten-memcached-cache) shards.
+
+In testing environments, you could configure your project so that it uses an instance of [`Marten::Cache::Store::Null`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Cache/Store/Null.html) as the global cache. This approach can be helpful when caching is not necessary, but you still want to ensure that your code is passing through the caching interface.
+:::
+
+## Low-level caching
+
+### Basic usage
+
+Low-level caching allows you to interact directly with the global cache store and perform caching operations. To do that, you can access the global cache store by calling the [`Marten#cache`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten.html#cache%3ACache%3A%3AStore%3A%3ABase-class-method) method.
+
+The main way to put new values in cache is to leverage the [`#fetch`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Cache/Store/Base.html#fetch(key%3AString|Symbol%2Cexpires_at%3ATime|Nil%3Dnil%2Cexpires_in%3ATime%3A%3ASpan|Nil%3Dnil%2Cversion%3AInt32|Nil%3Dnil%2Cforce%3Dfalse%2Crace_condition_ttl%3ATime%3A%3ASpan|Nil%3Dnil%2Ccompress%3ABool|Nil%3Dnil%2Ccompress_threshold%3AInt32|Nil%3Dnil%2C%26)%3AString|Nil-instance-method) method, which is provided on all cache stores. This method allows fetching data from the cache by using a specific key: if an entry exists for this key in cache, then the data is returned. Otherwise the return value of the block (that _must_ be specified when calling [`#fetch`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Cache/Store/Base.html#fetch(key%3AString|Symbol%2Cexpires_at%3ATime|Nil%3Dnil%2Cexpires_in%3ATime%3A%3ASpan|Nil%3Dnil%2Cversion%3AInt32|Nil%3Dnil%2Cforce%3Dfalse%2Crace_condition_ttl%3ATime%3A%3ASpan|Nil%3Dnil%2Ccompress%3ABool|Nil%3Dnil%2Ccompress_threshold%3AInt32|Nil%3Dnil%2C%26)%3AString|Nil-instance-method)) is written to the cache and returned. This method supports a few additional arguments that allow to further customize how the entry is written to the cache (eg. the expiry time associated with the entry).
+
+For example:
+
+```crystal
+Marten.cache.fetch("mykey", expires_in: 4.hours) do
+ "myvalue"
+end
+```
+
+### Reading from and writing to the cache
+
+It is worth mentioning that you can also explicitly read from the cache and write to the cache by leveraging the [`#read`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Cache/Store/Base.html#read(key%3AString|Symbol%2Cversion%3AInt32|Nil%3Dnil)%3AString|Nil-instance-method) and [`#write`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Cache/Store/Base.html#write(key%3AString|Symbol%2Cvalue%3AString%2Cexpires_at%3ATime|Nil%3Dnil%2Cexpires_in%3ATime%3A%3ASpan|Nil%3Dnil%2Cversion%3AInt32|Nil%3Dnil%2Crace_condition_ttl%3ATime%3A%3ASpan|Nil%3Dnil%2Ccompress%3ABool|Nil%3Dnil%2Ccompress_threshold%3AInt32|Nil%3Dnil)-instance-method) methods respectively. Verifying that a key exists can be done using the [`#exists?`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Cache/Store/Base.html#exists%3F(key%3AString|Symbol%2Cversion%3AInt32|Nil%3Dnil)%3ABool-instance-method) method.
+
+For example:
+
+```crystal
+# No entry in the cache yet.
+Marten.cache.read("foo") # => nil
+Marten.cache.exists?("foo") # => false
+
+# Let's add the entry to the cache.
+Marten.cache.write("foo", "bar", expires_in: 10.minutes) # => true
+
+# Let's read from the cache.
+Marten.cache.read("foo") # => "bar"
+Marten.cache.exists?("foo") # => true
+```
+
+### Deleting an entry from the cache
+
+Deleting an entry from the cache is made possible through the use of the [`#delete`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Cache/Store/Base.html#delete(key%3AString|Symbol)%3ABool-instance-method) method. This method takes the key of the entry to delete as argument and returns a boolean indicating whether an entry was actually deleted.
+
+For example:
+
+```crystal
+# No entry in the cache yet.
+Marten.cache.delete("foo") # => false
+
+# Let's add an entry to the cache and then delete it.
+Marten.cache.write("foo", "bar", expires_in: 10.minutes) # => true
+Marten.cache.delete("foo") # => true
+```
+
+### Incrementing and decrementing values
+
+If you need to persist integer values that are intended to be incremented or decremented, then you can leverage the [`#increment`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Cache/Store/Base.html#increment(key%3AString%2Camount%3AInt32%3D1%2Cexpires_at%3ATime|Nil%3Dnil%2Cexpires_in%3ATime%3A%3ASpan|Nil%3Dnil%2Cversion%3AInt32|Nil%3Dnil%2Crace_condition_ttl%3ATime%3A%3ASpan|Nil%3Dnil%2Ccompress%3ABool|Nil%3Dnil%2Ccompress_threshold%3AInt32|Nil%3Dnil)%3AInt-instance-method) and [`#decrement`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Cache/Store/Base.html#decrement(key%3AString%2Camount%3AInt32%3D1%2Cexpires_at%3ATime|Nil%3Dnil%2Cexpires_in%3ATime%3A%3ASpan|Nil%3Dnil%2Cversion%3AInt32|Nil%3Dnil%2Crace_condition_ttl%3ATime%3A%3ASpan|Nil%3Dnil%2Ccompress%3ABool|Nil%3Dnil%2Ccompress_threshold%3AInt32|Nil%3Dnil)%3AInt-instance-method) methods. The advantage of doing so is that the increment/decrement operation will be performed in an atomic fashion depending on the cache store you are using (eg. this is the case for the stores provided by the [`marten-memcached-cache`](https://github.com/martenframework/marten-memcached-cache) and [`marten-redis-cache`](https://github.com/martenframework/marten-redis-cache) shards).
+
+For example:
+
+```crystal
+Marten.cache.increment("mycounter") # => 1
+Marten.cache.increment("mycounter", amount: 2) # => 3
+Marten.cache.decrement("mycounter") # => 2
+```
+
+### Clearing the cache
+
+It's possible to fully clear the content of the cache by leveraging the [`#clear`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Cache/Store/Base.html#clear-instance-method).
+
+For example:
+
+```crystal
+# Let's add an entry to the cache and then let's clear the cache.
+Marten.cache.write("foo", "bar", expires_in: 10.minutes)
+Marten.cache.clear
+```
+
+:::caution
+You should be extra careful when using this method because it will fully remove all the entries stored in the cache. Depending on the store implementation, only _namespaced_ entries may be removed (this is the case for the [Redis cache store](https://github.com/martenframework/marten-redis-cache) for example).
+:::
+
+## Template fragment caching
+
+You can leverage template fragment caching when you want to cache some parts of your [templates](../templates.mdx). This capability is enabled by the use of the [`cache`](../templates/reference/tags.md#cache) template tag.
+
+This template tag allows caching the content of a template fragment (enclosed within the `{% cache %}...{% endcache %}` tags) for a specific duration. This caching operation is done by leveraging the configured [global cache store](#configuration-and-cache-stores). The tag itself takes at least two arguments: the name to give to the cache fragment and a cache timeout - expressed in seconds.
+
+For example, the following snippet caches the content enclosed within the `{% cache %}...{% endcache %}` tags for a duration of 3600 seconds and associates it to the "articles" fragment name:
+
+```html
+{% cache "articles" 3600 %}
+
+ {% for article in articles %}
+
{{ article.title }}
+ {% endfor %}
+
+{% endcache %}
+```
+
+It's worth noting that the [`cache`](../templates/reference/tags.md#cache) template tag allows for the inclusion of additional arguments. These arguments, referred to as "vary on" values, play a crucial role in generating the cache key of the template fragment. Essentially, the cache is invalidated if the value of any of these arguments changes. This feature comes in handy when you need to ensure that the template fragment is cached based on other dynamic values that may impact the generation of the cached content itself.
+
+For instance, suppose the cached content is dependent on the current locale. In that case, you'd want to make sure that the current locale value is taken into account while caching the template fragment. The ability to pass additional arguments as "vary on" values enables you to achieve precisely that.
+
+For example:
+
+```html
+{% cache "articles" 3600 current_locale user.id %}
+
+ {% for article in articles %}
+
{{ article.title }}
+ {% endfor %}
+
+{% endcache %}
+```
+
+:::tip
+The "key" used for the template fragment cache entry can be a template variable. The same goes for the cache timeout. For example:
+
+```html
+{% cache fragment_name fragment_expiry %}
+
+ {% for article in articles %}
+
{{ article.title }}
+ {% endfor %}
+
+{% endcache %}
+```

+
+## Built-in stores
+
+### In-memory store
+
+This is the default store used as part of the [`cache_store`](../../development/reference/settings.md#cache_store) setting.
+
+This cache store is implemented as part of the [`Marten::Cache::Store::Memory`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Cache/Store/Memory.html) class. This cache stores all data in memory within the same process, making it a fast and reliable option for caching in single process environments. However, it's worth noting that if you're running multiple instances of your application, the cache data will not be shared between them.
+
+For example:
+
+```crystal
+Marten.configure do |config|
+ config.cache_store = Marten::Cache::Store::Memory.new.new(expires_in: 24.hours)
+end
+```
+
+### Null store
+
+A cache store implementation doesn't store any data.
+
+This cache store is implemented as part of the [`Marten::Cache::Store::Null`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Cache/Store/Null.html) class. This cache store does not store any data, but provides a way to go through the caching interface. This can be useful in development and testing environments when caching is not desired.
+
+For example:
+
+```crystal
+Marten.configure do |config|
+ config.cache_store = Marten::Cache::Store::Null.new.new(expires_in: 24.hours)
+end
+```
+
+## Other stores
+
+Additional cache stores shards are also maintained under the umbrella of the Marten project or by the community itself and can be used as part of your application depending on your specific caching requirements:
+
+* [`marten-memcached-cache`](https://github.com/martenframework/marten-memcached-cache) provides a [Memcached](https://memcached.org) cache store
+* [`marten-redis-cache`](https://github.com/martenframework/marten-redis-cache) provides a [Redis](https://redis.io) cache store
+
+:::info
+Feel free to contribute to this page and add links to your shards if you've created cache stores that are not listed here!

+title: Deploy to Fly.io
+description: Learn how to deploy a Marten project to Fly.io.
+---
+
+This guide covers how to deploy a Marten project to [Fly.io](https://fly.io).
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+To complete the steps in this guide, you will need:
+
+* An active account on [Fly.io](https://fly.io).
+* The Fly.io CLI [installed](https://fly.io/docs/hands-on/install-flyctl/) and correctly [configured](https://fly.io/docs/getting-started/log-in-to-fly/).
+* A functional Marten project.
+
+## Make your Marten project Fly.io-ready
+
+Before creating the Fly.io application, it is important to ensure that your project is properly configured for deployment to Fly.io. This section outlines some steps to ensure that your project can be deployed to Fly.io without issues.
+
+### Create a `Dockerfile`
+
+We will be deploying our Marten project to Fly.io by leveraging a [Dockerfile strategy](https://fly.io/docs/languages-and-frameworks/dockerfile/). A `Dockerfile` is a text file that contains a set of instructions for building a [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) image. It typically includes a base image, commands to install dependencies, and steps to configure the environment and copy files into the image.

+Your `Dockerfile` should be placed at the root of your project folder and should contain the following content at least:
+
+```Dockerfile title="Dockerfile"
+FROM crystallang/crystal:latest
+WORKDIR /app
+COPY . .
+
+ENV MARTEN_ENV=production
+
+RUN apt-get update
+RUN apt-get install -y curl cmake build-essential
+
+RUN shards install
+RUN bin/marten collectassets --no-input
+RUN crystal build manage.cr -o bin/manage
+RUN crystal build src/server.cr -o bin/server --release
+
+CMD ["/app/bin/server"]
+```
+
+As you can see, this Dockerfile builds a Docker image based on the latest version of the Crystal programming language image. It also installs your project's Crystal dependencies, runs the [`collectassets`](../../development/reference/management-commands.md) management command, and compiles your server's binary.
+
+It should be noted that this Dockerfile could perform additional operations if needed. For example, some projects may require Node.js in order to install additional dependencies and build your project's assets. This could be achieved with the following additions:
+
+```Dockerfile title="Dockerfile"
+FROM crystallang/crystal:latest
+WORKDIR /app
+COPY . .
+
+ENV MARTEN_ENV=production
+
+RUN apt-get update
+RUN apt-get install -y curl cmake build-essential
+// highlight-next-line
+RUN curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | bash -
+// highlight-next-line
+RUN apt-get install -y nodejs
+// highlight-next-line
+
+// highlight-next-line
+RUN npm install
+// highlight-next-line
+RUN npm run build
+
+RUN shards install
+RUN bin/marten collectassets --no-input
+RUN crystal build manage.cr -o bin/manage
+RUN crystal build src/server.cr -o bin/server --release
+
+CMD ["/app/bin/server"]
+```
+
+### Configure your production server's host and port
+
+You should ensure that your production server can be accessed from other containers, and on a specific port. To do so, it's important to set the [`host`](../../development/reference/settings.md#host) setting to `0.0.0.0` and the [`port`](../../development/reference/settings.md#port) setting to a specific value such as `8000` (which is the port we'll be using throughout this guide).
+
+This can be achieved by updating your `config/settings/production.cr` production settings file as follows:
+
+```crystal title="config/settings/production.cr"
+Marten.configure :production do |config|
+ config.host = "0.0.0.0"
+ config.port = 8000
+
+ # Other settings...
+end
+```
+
+### Configure key settings from environment variables
+
+When deploying to Fly.io, you will have to set a few environment variables (later in this guide) that will be used to populate key settings. This should be the case for the [`secret_key`](../../development/reference/settings.md#secret_key) and [`allowed_hosts`](../../development/reference/settings.md#allowed_hosts) settings at least.
+
+As such, it is important to ensure that your project populates these settings by reading their values in corresponding environment variables. This can be achieved by updating your `config/settings/production.cr` production settings file as follows:
+
+```crystal title="config/settings/production.cr"
+Marten.configure :production do |config|
+ config.secret_key = ENV.fetch("MARTEN_SECRET_KEY", "")
+ config.allowed_hosts = ENV.fetch("MARTEN_ALLOWED_HOSTS", "").split(",")
+
+ # Other settings...
+end
+```
+
+It should be noted that if your application requires a database, you should also make sure to parse the `DATABASE_URL` environment variable and to configure your [database settings](../../development/reference/settings.md#database-settings) from the parsed database URL properties. The `DATABASE_URL` variable contains a URL-encoded string that specifies the connection details of your database, such as the database type, hostname, port, username, password, and database name.
+
+This can be accomplished as follows for a PostgreSQL database:
+
+```crystal title="config/settings/production.cr"
+Marten.configure :production do |config|
+ if ENV.has_key?("DATABASE_URL")
+ # Note: DATABASE_URL isn't available at build time...
+ config.database do |db|
+ database_uri = URI.parse(ENV.fetch("DATABASE_URL"))
+
+ db.backend = :postgresql
+ db.host = database_uri.host
+ db.port = database_uri.port
+ db.user = database_uri.user
+ db.password = database_uri.password
+ db.name = database_uri.path[1..]
+
+ # Fly.io's Postgres works over an internal & encrypted network which does not support SSL.
+ # Hence, SSL must be disabled.
+ db.options = {"sslmode" => "disable"}
+ end
+ end
+
+ # Other settings...
+end
+```
+
+### Optional: set up the asset serving middleware
+
+In order to easily serve your application's assets in Fly.io, you can make use of the [`Marten::Middleware::AssetServing`](../../handlers-and-http/reference/middlewares.md#asset-serving-middleware) middleware. Indeed, it won't be possible to configure a web server such as [Nginx](https://nginx.org) to serve your assets directly on Fly.io if you intend to use a "local file system" asset store (such as [`Marten::Core::Store::FileSystem`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Core/Storage/FileSystem.html)).
+
+To palliate this, you can make use of the [`Marten::Middleware::AssetServing`](../../handlers-and-http/reference/middlewares.md#asset-serving-middleware) middleware. Obviously, this is not necessary if you intend to leverage a cloud storage provider (like Amazon's S3 or GCS) to store and serve your collected assets (in this case, you can simply skip this section).
+
+In order to use this middleware, you can "insert" the corresponding class at the beginning of the [`middleware`](../../development/reference/settings.md#middleware) setting when defining production settings. For example:
+
+```crystal
+Marten.configure :production do |config|
+ config.middleware.unshift(Marten::Middleware::AssetServing)
+
+ # Other settings...
+end
+```
+
+The middleware will serve the collected assets available under the assets root ([`assets.root`](../../development/reference/settings.md#root) setting). It is also important to note that the [`assets.url`](../../development/reference/settings.md#url) setting must align with the Marten application domain or correspond to a relative URL path (e.g., `/assets/`) for this middleware to work correctly.
+
+## Create the Fly.io app
+
+To begin, the initial action required is to generate your Fly.io application itself. This can be achieved by executing the `fly launch` command as follows:
+
+```bash
+fly launch --no-deploy --no-cache --internal-port 8000 --name --env MARTEN_ALLOWED_HOSTS=.fly.dev
+```
+
+The above command creates a Fly.io application whose internal port is set to `8000` while also ensuring that the `MARTEN_ALLOWED_HOSTS` environment variable is set to your future app domain. The command will ask you to choose a specific [region](https://fly.io/docs/reference/regions/) for your application and will create a `fly.toml` file whose content should look like this:
+
+```toml title="fly.toml"
+app = ""
+primary_region = ""
+
+[env]
+ MARTEN_ALLOWED_HOSTS = ".fly.dev"
+
+[http_service]
+ internal_port = 8000
+ force_https = true
+ auto_stop_machines = true
+ auto_start_machines = true
+```
+
+The `fly.toml` is a configuration file used by Fly.io to know how to deploy your application to the Fly.io platform.
+
+:::info
+In this guide, the `` placeholder refers to the Fly.io application name that you have chosen for your project. You should replace `` with the actual name of your application in all the relevant commands and code snippets mentioned in this guide.
+:::
+
+## Set up environment secrets
+
+It is recommended to define the `MARTEN_SECRET_KEY` environment variable order to populate the [`secret_key`](../../development/reference/settings.md#secret_key) setting, as mentioned in [Configure key settings from environment variables](#configure-key-settings-from-environment-variables).
+
+Fly.io gives the ability to define such sensitive setting values using [runtime secrets](https://fly.io/docs/reference/secrets/). In this light, we can create a `MARTEN_SECRET_KEY` secret by using the `fly secrets` command as follows:
+
+```bash
+fly secrets set MARTEN_SECRET_KEY=$(openssl rand -hex 16)
+```
+
+## Set up a database
+
+You'll need to provision a Fly.io PostgreSQL database if your application makes use of models and migrations (otherwise you can skip this step!).
+
+In this light, you first need to create a PostgreSQL cluster with the following command:
+
+```bash
+fly pg create --name -db
+```
+
+Then you will need to "attach" the PostgreSQL cluster you just created with your actual application. This can be achieved with the following command:
+
+```bash
+fly postgres attach -db --app
+```
+
+Additionally, you will want to ensure that migrations are automatically applied every time your project is deployed. To do so, you can update the `fly.toml` file that was generated previously and add the following section to it:
+
+```toml title="fly.toml"
+app = ""
+primary_region = ""
+
+[env]
+ MARTEN_ALLOWED_HOSTS = ".fly.dev"
+
+[http_service]
+ internal_port = 8000
+ force_https = true
+ auto_stop_machines = true
+ auto_start_machines = true
+
+// highlight-next-line
+[deploy]
+// highlight-next-line
+ release_command = "bin/manage migrate"
+```
+
+## Deploy the application
+
+The final step is to upload your application's code to Fly.io. This can be done by using the following command:
+
+```bash
+fly deploy
+```
+
+It is worth mentioning that a few things will happen when you push your application's code to Fly.io like in the above example. Indeed, Fly.io will build a Docker image of your application based on the `Dockerfile` you defined [previously](#create-a-dockerfile) and then push it to the Fly.io registry (a private Docker registry maintained by Fly.io). Once this is done, it will launch a Docker container by using the obtained Docker image, and then route incoming traffic to the running container.

+title: Deploy to Heroku
+description: Learn how to deploy a Marten project to Heroku.
+---
+
+This guide covers how to deploy a Marten project to [Heroku](https://heroku.com).
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+To complete the steps in this guide, you will need:
+
+* An active account on [Heroku](https://heroku.com).
+* The [Heroku CLI](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-cli) installed and correctly configured.
+* A functional Marten project.
+
+## Make your Marten project Heroku-ready
+
+Before creating the Heroku application, it is important to ensure that your project is properly configured for deployment to Heroku. This section outlines some necessary steps to ensure that your project can be deployed to Heroku without issues.
+
+### Create a `Procfile`
+
+You should first ensure that your project defines a [`Procfile`](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/procfile), at the root of your project folder. A Procfile specifies the commands Heroku's dynos run, defining process types like web servers and background workers.
+
+Your Procfile should contain the following content at least:
+
+```procfile title="Procfile"
+web: bin/server --port \$PORT
+```
+
+:::info
+The `PORT` environment variable is automatically defined by Heroku. That's why we have to ensure that its value is forwarded to your server.
+:::
+
+If your application requires the use of a database, you should also add a [release process](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/procfile#the-release-process-type) that runs the [`migrate`](../../development/reference/management-commands.md#migrate) management command to your Procfile:
+
+```procfile title="Procfile"
+web: bin/server --port \$PORT
+release: marten migrate
+```
+
+This will ensure that your database is properly migrated during each deployment.
+
+### Configure the root path
+
+During deployment on Heroku, your application is prepared and compiled in a temporary directory, which is distinct from the location where the server runs your application. Specifically, the root of your application will be available under the `/app` folder on the Heroku platform. It's important to keep this in mind when setting up your application for deployment to Heroku.
+
+Marten's [application mechanism](../../development/applications.md) relies heaviliy on paths when it comes to locate things like [templates](../../templates.mdx), [translations](../../i18n.mdx), or [assets](../../assets.mdx). Because the path where your application is compiled will differ from the path where it runs, we need to ensure that you explicitly configure Marten so that it can find your project structure.
+
+To address this, we need to define a specific "root path" for your project in production. The root path specifies the actual location of the project sources in your system. This can prove helpful in scenarios where the project was compiled in a specific location different from the final destination where the project sources (and the `lib` folder) are copied, which is the case with Heroku.
+
+In this light, we can set the [`root_path`](../../development/reference/settings.md#root_path) setting to `/app` as follows:
+
+```crystal title="config/settings/production.cr"
+Marten.configure :production do |config|
+ config.root_path = "/app"
+
+ # Other settings...
+end
+```
+
+As highlighted in the above example, this should be done in your "production" settings file.
+
+### Configure key settings from environment variables
+
+When deploying to Heroku, you will have to set a few environment variables (later in this guide) that will be used to populate key settings. This should be the case for the [`secret_key`](../../development/reference/settings.md#secret_key) and [`allowed_hosts`](../../development/reference/settings.md#allowed_hosts) settings at least.
+
+As such, it is important to ensure that your project populates these settings by reading their values in corresponding environment variables. This can be achieved by updating your `config/settings/production.cr` production settings file as follows:
+
+```crystal title="config/settings/production.cr"
+Marten.configure :production do |config|
+ config.secret_key = ENV.fetch("MARTEN_SECRET_KEY")
+ config.allowed_hosts = ENV.fetch("MARTEN_ALLOWED_HOSTS", "").split(",")
+
+ # Other settings...
+end
+```
+
+It should be noted that if your application requires a database, you should also make sure to parse the `DATABASE_URL` environment variable and to configure your [database settings](../../development/reference/settings.md#database-settings) from the parsed database URL properties. The `DATABASE_URL` variable contains a URL-encoded string that specifies the connection details of your database, such as the database type, hostname, port, username, password, and database name.
+
+This can be accomplished as follows for a PostgreSQL database:
+
+```crystal title="config/settings/production.cr"
+Marten.configure :production do |config|
+ config.database do |db|
+ database_uri = URI.parse(ENV.fetch("DATABASE_URL"))
+
+ db.backend = :postgresql
+ db.host = database_uri.host
+ db.port = database_uri.port
+ db.user = database_uri.user
+ db.password = database_uri.password
+ db.name = database_uri.path[1..]
+ end
+
+ # Other settings...
+end
+```
+
+### Optional: set up the asset serving middleware
+
+In order to easily serve your application's assets in Heroku, you can make use of the [`Marten::Middleware::AssetServing`](../../handlers-and-http/reference/middlewares.md#asset-serving-middleware) middleware. Indeed, it won't be possible to configure a web server such as [Nginx](https://nginx.org) to serve your assets directly on Heroku if you intend to use a "local file system" asset store (such as [`Marten::Core::Store::FileSystem`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Core/Storage/FileSystem.html)).
+
+To palliate this, you can make use of the [`Marten::Middleware::AssetServing`](../../handlers-and-http/reference/middlewares.md#asset-serving-middleware) middleware. Obviously, this is not necessary if you intend to leverage a cloud storage provider (like Amazon's S3 or GCS) to store and serve your collected assets (in this case, you can simply skip this section).
+
+In order to use this middleware, you can "insert" the corresponding class at the beginning of the [`middleware`](../../development/reference/settings.md#middleware) setting when defining production settings. For example:
+
+```crystal
+Marten.configure :production do |config|
+ config.middleware.unshift(Marten::Middleware::AssetServing)
+
+ # Other settings...
+end
+```
+
+The middleware will serve the collected assets available under the assets root ([`assets.root`](../../development/reference/settings.md#root) setting). It is also important to note that the [`assets.url`](../../development/reference/settings.md#url) setting must align with the Marten application domain or correspond to a relative URL path (e.g., `/assets/`) for this middleware to work correctly.
+
+## Create the Heroku app
+
+To begin, the initial action required is to generate your Heroku application itself. This can be achieved by executing the `heroku create` command as follows:
+
+```bash
+heroku create
+```
+
+:::info
+In this guide, the `` placeholder refers to the Heroku application name that you have chosen for your project. You should replace `` with the actual name of your application in all the relevant commands and code snippets mentioned in this guide.
+:::
+
+## Set up the required buildpacks
+
+Heroku leverages [buildpacks](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/buildpacks) in order to "compile" web applications (which can include installing dependencies, compiling actual binaries, etc). In the context of a Marten project, it is recommended to use two buildbacks:
+
+1. First, the [Node.js official buildback](https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-nodejs) in order to "build" your project's assets.
+2. Second, the [Marten official buildback](https://github.com/martenframework/heroku-buildpack-marten) in order to (i) compile your server's binary, (ii) compile the Marten CLI, and (iii) [collect assets](../../assets/introduction.md).
+
+The sequence of buildpacks applied during the deployment process is critical: the Node.js buildpack must be the first one applied, to ensure that Heroku can initiate the necessary Node.js installations and configurations. This approach will guarantee that when the Marten buildpack is activated, the assets will have already been created and are ready to be "collected" through the [`collectassets`](../../development/reference/management-commands.md#collectassets) management command.
+
+You can ensure that these buildpacks are used by running the following commands:
+
+```bash
+heroku buildpacks:add heroku/nodejs
+heroku buildpacks:add https://github.com/martenframework/heroku-buildpack-marten
+```
+
+:::tip
+It is important to mention that the use of the [Node.js official buildback](https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-nodejs) is completely optional: you should only use it if your project leverages Node.js to build some assets.
+:::
+
+## Set up environment variables
+
+### `MARTEN_ENV`
+
+At least one environment variable needs to be configured in order to ensure that your Marten project operates in production mode in Heroku: the `MARTEN_ENV` variable. This variable determines the current environments (and the associated settings to apply).
+
+To set this environment variable, you can leverage the `heroku config:set` command as follows:
+
+```bash
+heroku config:set MARTEN_ENV=production
+```
+
+### `MARTEN_SECRET_KEY`
+
+It is also recommended to define the `MARTEN_SECRET_KEY` environment variable in order to populate the [`secret_key`](../../development/reference/settings.md#secret_key) setting, as mentioned in [Configure key settings from environment variables](#configure-key-settings-from-environment-variables).
+
+To set this environment variable, you can leverage the `heroku config:set` command as follows:
+
+```bash
+heroku config:set MARTEN_SECRET_KEY=$(openssl rand -hex 16)
+```
+
+### `MARTEN_ALLOWED_HOSTS`
+
+Finally, we want to ensure that the [`allowed_hosts`](../../development/reference/settings.md#allowed_hosts) setting contains the actual domain of your Heroku application, which is required as part of Marten's [HTTP Host Header Attacks Protection mechanism](../../security/introduction.md#http-host-header-attacks-protection).
+
+To set this environment variable, you can use the following command:
+
+```bash
+heroku config:set MARTEN_ALLOWED_HOSTS=.herokuapp.com
+```
+
+## Set up a database
+
+You'll need to provision a Heroku PostgreSQL database if your application makes use of models and migrations. To do so, you can make use of the following command:
+
+```bash
+heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql:mini
+```
+
+:::info
+You should replace `mini` in the above command by your desired [Postgres plan](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-postgres-plans).
+:::
+
+## Upload the application
+
+The final step is to upload your application's code to Heroku. This can be done by using the standard `git push` command to copy the local `main` branch to the `main` branch on Heroku:
+
+```bash
+git push heroku main
+```
+
+It is worth mentioning that a few things will happen when you push your application's code to Heroku like in the above example. Indeed, Heroku will detect the type of your application and apply the buildpacks you [configured previously](#set-up-the-required-buildpacks) (ie. first the Node.js one and then the Marten one). As part of this step, your application's dependencies will be installed and your project will be compiled. If you defined a `release` process in your `Procfile` (like explained in [Create a Procfile](#create-a-procfile)), the specfied command will also be executed (for example in order to run your project's migrations).
+
+A few additional things should also be noted:
+
+* The compiled server binary will be placed under the `bin/server` path.
+* Your project's `manage.cr` file will be compiled as well and will be available by simply calling the `marten` command. This means that you can run `marten ` if you need to call specific [management commands](../../development/management-commands.md).
+* The Marten buildpack will automatically call the [`collectassets`](../../development/reference/management-commands.md#collectassets) management command in order to collect your project's [assets](../../assets/introduction.md) and copy them to your configured assets storage. You can set the `DISABLE_COLLECTASSETS` environment variable to `1` if you don't want this behavior.
+
+## Run management commands
+
+If you need to run additional [management commands](../../development/management-commands.md) in your provisioned application, you can use the `heroku run` command. For instance:
+
+```bash
+heroku run marten listmigrations
+```

It is possible to run multiple processes of the same server behind a reverse proxy such as Nginx. Indeed, each compiled server can accept optional parameters to override the host and/or port being used. These parameters are respectively `--bind` (or `-b`) and `--port` (or `-p`). For example:

Marten projects always use one or many applications. Indeed, each Marten project comes with a default [main application](#the-main-application) that corresponds to the standard `src` folder: models, migrations, or other classes defined in this folder are associated with the main application by default (unless they are part of another _explicitly defined_ application). As projects grow in size and scope, it is generally encouraged to start thinking in terms of applications and how to split models, handlers, or features across multiple apps depending on their intended responsibilities.

+title: Generators
+description: Learn how to use generators in Marten.
+---
+
+Marten features a generator mechanism that simplifies the creation of various abstractions, files, and structures within an existing project. This feature facilitates the generation of key components such as [models](../models-and-databases/introduction.md), [schemas](../schemas/introduction.md), [emails](../emailing/introduction.md), or [applications](./applications.md). By leveraging generators, developers can improve their workflow and speed up the development of their Marten projects while following best practices.
+
+## Usage
+
+Generators can be invoked by leveraging the [`marten gen`](./reference/management-commands.md#gen) management command. This command is intended to be used as follows:
+
+```bash
+marten gen [generator] [options] [arguments]
+```
+
+As you can see, the `marten gen` command must be used with a specific **generator** name, possibly followed by **options** and **arguments** (which may be required or not depending on the considered generator). All the built-in generators are listed in the [generators reference](./reference/generators.md).
+
+### Displaying help information
+
+You can display help information about a specific generator by using the `marten gen` command as follows:
+
+```bash
+marten gen [generator] --help
+```
+
+### Listing generators
+
+It is possible to list all the available generators within a project by running the `marten gen` command as follows:
+
+```bash
+marten gen
+```
+
+This should output something like this:
+
+```
+Usage: marten gen [options] [generator]
+
+Generate various structures, abstractions, and values within an existing project.
+
+Arguments:
+ generator Name of the generator to use
+
+Options:
+ --error-trace Show full error trace (if a compilation is involved)
+ --no-color Disable colored output
+ -h, --help Show this help
+
+Available generators are listed below.
+
+[marten]
+
+ › app
+ › auth
+ › email
+ › handler
+ › model
+ › schema
+ › secretkey
+
+Run a generator followed by --help to see generator specific information, ex:
+marten gen [generator] --help
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+### Generating a model
+
+Generating a model can be achieved with the [`model`](./reference/generators.md#model) generator:
+
+```bash
+# Generate a model in the main app:
+marten gen model User name:string email:string
+
+# Generate a model in the admin app:
+marten gen model User name:string email:string --app admin
+
+# Generate a model with a many-to-one reference:
+marten gen model Article label:string body:text author:many_to_one{User}
+
+# Generate a model with a parent class:
+marten gen model Admin::User name:string email:string --parent User
+
+# Generate a model without timestamps:
+marten gen model User name:string email:string --no-timestamps
+```
+
+### Generating an email
+
+Generating an email can be achieved with the [`email`](./reference/generators.md#email) generator:
+
+```bash
+marten gen email TestEmail # Generate a new TestEmail email in the main application
+marten gen email TestEmail --app blog # Generate a new TestEmail email in the blog application
+```
+
+### Generating an application
+
+Generating an application can be achieved with the [`app`](./reference/generators.md#app) generator:
+
+```bash
+marten gen app blogging # Generate a new 'blogging' application
+```
+
+## Available generators
+
+Please head over to the [generators reference](./reference/generators.md) to see a list of all the available generators.

+title: Configure database backends
+description: How to configure database backends.
+---
+
+This guide provides instructions on configuring new database backends or changing the existing database backend within your existing Marten projects.
+
+## Context
+
+Marten officially supports **MySQL**, **PostgreSQL**, and **SQLite3** databases. New Marten projects default to utilizing a SQLite3 database, a lightweight serverless database application that is typically pre-installed on most existing operating systems. This makes it an excellent choice for a development or testing database, but you may want to use a more powerful database such as MySQL or PostgreSQL. In this light, this guide explains what steps should be taken in order to use your database backend of choice in a Marten project.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+This guide presupposes that you already have a functional Marten project available. If you don't, you can easily create one using the following command:
+
+```bash
+marten new project
+```
+
+Furthermore, it assumes that your preferred database is properly configured and ready for use. If this isn't the case, please consult the respective official documentation to install your chosen database:
+
+* [PostgreSQL Installation Guide](https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Detailed_installation_guides)
+* [MySQL Installation Guide](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/installing.html)
+* [SQLite Installation Guide](https://www.tutorialspoint.com/sqlite/sqlite_installation.htm)
+
+## Installing the right database shard
+
+For each database, a dedicated Crystal shard is required. Depending on your chosen database, you must include one of the following entries in your project's `shard.yml` file:
+
+* [crystal-pg](https://github.com/will/crystal-pg) (required for PostgreSQL databases)
+* [crystal-mysql](https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal-mysql) (required for MySQL databases)
+* [crystal-sqlite3](https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal-sqlite3) (required for SQLite3 databases)
+
+This means that your `shard.yml` file should resemble one of the following examples:
+
+### MySQL
+
+```yaml
+name: myproject
+version: 0.1.0
+
+dependencies:
+ marten:
+ github: martenframework/marten
+ // highlight-next-line
+ mysql:
+ // highlight-next-line
+ github: crystal-lang/crystal-mysql
+```
+
+### PostgreSQL
+
+```yaml
+name: myproject
+version: 0.1.0
+
+dependencies:
+ marten:
+ github: martenframework/marten
+ // highlight-next-line
+ pg:
+ // highlight-next-line
+ github: will/crystal-pg
+```
+
+### SQLite3
+
+```yaml
+name: myproject
+version: 0.1.0
+
+dependencies:
+ marten:
+ github: martenframework/marten
+ // highlight-next-line
+ sqlite3:
+ // highlight-next-line
+ github: crystal-lang/crystal-sqlite3
+```
+
+## Adding the right DB Crystal requirement
+
+After you've included the correct Crystal shard in your project's `shard.yml` file, the subsequent task is to add the corresponding requirement in the `src/project.cr` file. This file contains all the requirements of your project (including Marten itself) and is automatically generated by the [`new`](../reference/management-commands.md#new) management command.
+
+Please consult the examples below to determine which requirement you should include based on your selected database backend:
+
+### MySQL
+
+```crystal
+# Third party requirements.
+require "marten"
+// highlight-next-line
+require "mysql"
+
+# Project requirements.
+# [...]
+
+# Configuration requirements.
+# [...]
+```
+
+### PostgreSQL
+
+```crystal
+# Third party requirements.
+require "marten"
+// highlight-next-line
+require "pg"
+```
+
+### SQLite3
+
+```crystal
+# Third party requirements.
+require "marten"
+// highlight-next-line
+require "sqlite3"
+```
+
+## Configuring your database
+
+The last step involves configuring database settings so that they target the database you intend to use with your Marten project. While a comprehensive list of configuration options is available in the [Database settings reference](../reference/settings.md#database-settings), the following sections offer example configurations tailored to each supported database backend.
+
+### MySQL
+
+```crystal
+config.database do |db|
+ db.backend = :mysql
+ db.host = "localhost"
+ db.name = "my_db"
+ db.user = "my_user"
+ db.password = "insecure"
+end
+```
+
+### PostgreSQL
+
+```crystal
+config.database do |db|
+ db.backend = :postgresql
+ db.host = "localhost"
+ db.name = "my_db"
+ db.user = "my_user"
+ db.password = "insecure"
+end
+```
+
+### SQLite3
+
+```crystal
+config.database do |db|
+ db.backend = :sqlite
+ db.name = "my_db.db"
+end
+```

+
+## `app`
+
+**Usage:** `marten gen app [options] [label]`
+
+Add and configure a new [application](../applications.md) to the current project.
+
+:::info
+This generator will attempt to add the generated application to the [`installed_apps`](./settings.md#installed_apps) setting and will also configure Crystal requirements for it (in the `src/project.cr` and `src/cli.cr` files).
+:::
+
+### Arguments
+
+* `label` - Label of the application to generate
+
+### Examples
+
+```bash
+marten gen app blogging # Generate a new 'blogging' application
+```
+
+## `auth`
+
+**Usage:** `marten gen auth [options] [label]`
+

Please refer to [Authentication](../../authentication.mdx) to learn more about authentication in Marten, and to [Generated files](../../authentication/reference/generated-files.md) to see a list of the files generated for the authentication app specifically.
+
+:::info
+This generator will attempt to add the generated application to the [`installed_apps`](./settings.md#installed_apps) setting and will also configure Crystal requirements for it (in the `src/project.cr` and `src/cli.cr` files). It will also add authentication-related settings to your base settings file and will add the [`marten-auth`](https://github.com/martenframework/marten-auth) shard to your project's `shard.yml`.
+:::
+
+### Arguments
+
+* `label` - Label of the authentication application to generate (default to "auth")
+
+### Examples
+
+```bash
+marten gen auth # Generate a new authentication app with the 'auth' label
+marten gen auth my_auth # Generate a new authentication app with the 'my_auth' label
+```
+
+## `email`
+
+**Usage:** `marten gen email [options] [name]`
+
+Generate an email. Please refer to [Emailing](../../emailing.mdx) to learn more about emailing in Marten.
+
+### Options
+
+* `--app=APP` - Target app where the email should be created (default to the [main app](../applications.md#the-main-application))
+* `--parent=PARENT` - Parent class name for the generated email
+
+### Arguments
+
+* `name` - Name of the email to generate (must be CamelCase)
+
+### Examples
+
+```bash
+marten gen email TestEmail # Generate a new TestEmail email in the main application
+marten gen email TestEmail --app blog # Generate a new TestEmail email in the blog application
+```
+
+## `handler`
+
+Generate a handler. Please refer to [Handlers](../../handlers-and-http/introduction.md) to learn more about handlers.
+
+### Options
+
+* `--app=APP` - Target app where the handler should be created (default to the [main app](../applications.md#the-main-application))
+* `--parent=PARENT` - Parent class name for the generated handler
+
+### Arguments
+
+* `name` - Name of the handler to generate (must be CamelCase)
+
+### Examples
+
+```bash
+marten gen handler TestHandler # Generate a new TestHandler handler in the main application
+marten gen handler TestHandler --app blog # Generate a new TestHandler handler in the blog application
+```
+
+## `model`
+
+Generate a model. Please refer to [Models](../../models-and-databases/introduction.md) to learn more about models.
+
+### Options
+
+* `--app=APP` - Target app where model handler should be created (default to the [main app](../applications.md#the-main-application))
+* `--parent=PARENT` - Parent class name for the generated model
+* `--no-timestamps` - Do not include timestamp fields in the generated model
+
+### Arguments
+
+* `name` - Name of the model to generate (must be CamelCase)
+* `field_definitions` - Field definitions of the model to generate
+
+### Details
+
+This generator can generate a model with the specified name and field definitions. The model is generated in the app specified by the `--app` option or in the [main app](../applications.md#the-main-application) if no app is specified.
+
+Field definitions can be specified using the following formats:
+
+```
+name:type
+name:type{qualifier}
+name:type:modifier:modifier
+```
+
+Where `name` is the name of the field and `type` is the type of the field.
+
+`qualifier` can be required depending on the considered field type; when this is the case, it corresponds to a mandatory field option. For example, `label:string{128}` will produce a [string field](../../models-and-databases/reference/fields.md#string) whose `max_size` option is set to `128`. Another example: `author:many_to_one{User}` will produce a [many-to-one field](../../models-and-databases/reference/fields.md#many_to_one) whose `to` option is set to target the `User` model.
+
+`modifier` is an optional field modifier. Field modifiers are used to specify additional (but non-mandatory) field options. For example: `name:string:uniq` will produce a [string field](../../models-and-databases/reference/fields.md#string) whose `unique` option is set to `true`. Another example: `name:string:uniq:index` will produce a [string field](../../models-and-databases/reference/fields.md#string) whose `unique` and `index` options are set to `true`.
+
+### Examples
+
+```bash
+# Generate a model in the main app:
+marten gen model User name:string email:string
+
+# Generate a model in the admin app:
+marten gen model User name:string email:string --app admin
+
+# Generate a model with a many-to-one reference:
+marten gen model Article label:string body:text author:many_to_one{User}
+
+# Generate a model with a parent class:
+marten gen model Admin::User name:string email:string --parent User
+
+# Generate a model without timestamps:
+marten gen model User name:string email:string --no-timestamps
+```
+
+## `schema`
+
+Generate a schema. Please refer to [Schemas](../../schemas/introduction.md) to learn more about schemas.
+
+### Options
+
+* `--app=APP` - Target app where schema should be created (default to the [main app](../applications.md#the-main-application))
+* `--parent=PARENT` - Parent class name for the generated schema
+
+### Arguments
+
+* `name` - Name of the schema to generate (must be CamelCase)
+* `field_definitions` - Field definitions of the schema to generate
+
+### Details
+
+This generator can generate a schema with the specified name and field definitions. The schema is generated in the app specified by the `--app` option or in the [main app](../applications.md#the-main-application) if no app is specified.
+
+Field definitions can be specified using the following formats:
+
+```
+name:type
+name:type:modifier:modifier
+```
+
+Where `name` is the name of the field and `type` is the type of the field.
+
+`modifier` is an optional field modifier. Field modifiers are used to specify additional (but non-mandatory) field options. For example: `name:string:optional` will produce a [string field](../../schemas/reference/fields.md#string) whose `required` option is set to `false`.
+
+### Examples
+
+```bash
+# Generate a schema in the main app:
+marten gen schema ArticleSchema title:string body:string
+
+# Generate a schema in the blog app:
+marten gen schema ArticleSchema title:string body:string --app admin
+
+# Generate a schema with a parent class:
+marten gen schema ArticleSchema title:string body:string --parent BaseSchema
+```
+
+## `secretkey`

+### `root_path`
+
+Default: `nil`

+The root path of the application.

+The root path of the application specifies the actual location of the project sources in your system. This can prove helpful in scenarios where the project was compiled in a specific location different from the final destination where the project sources (and the `lib` folder) are copied. For instance, platforms like Heroku often fall under this category. By configuring the root path, you can ensure that your application correctly locates the required project sources and avoids any discrepancies arising from inconsistent source paths. This can prevent issues related to missing dependencies or missing app-related files (eg. locales, assets, or templates) and make your application more robust and reliable.

Doing so can be useful to experiment with policies without enforcing them.

+
+By default, a development backend (instance of [`Marten::Emailing::Backend::Dev`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Emailing/Backend/Development.html)) is used: this backend "collects" all the emails that are "delivered" by default (which can be used in specs in order to test sent emails), but it can also be configured to print email details to the standard output if necessary (see the [emailing backend reference](../../emailing/reference/backends.md) for more details about this capability).
+
+Additional emailing backend shards are also maintained under the umbrella of the Marten project or by the community itself and can be used as part of your application depending on your specific email sending requirements. These backends are listed in the [emailing backend reference](../../emailing/reference/backends.md#other-backends).

+title: Testing
+description: Learn how to test your Marten project.
+sidebar_label: Testing
+---
+
+This section covers the basics regarding how to test a Marten project and the various tools that you can leverage in this regard.
+
+## The basics
+
+You should test your Marten project to ensure that it adheres to the specifications it was built for. Like any Crystal project, Marten lets you write "specs" (see the [official documentation related to testing in Crystal](https://crystal-lang.org/reference/guides/testing.html) to learn more about those).
+
+By default, when creating a project through the use of the [`new`](./reference/management-commands.md#new) management command, Marten will automatically create a `spec/` folder at the root of your project structure. This folder contains a unique `spec_helper.cr` file allowing you to initialize the test environment for your Marten project.
+
+This file should look something like this:
+
+```crystal title=spec/spec_helper.cr
+ENV["MARTEN_ENV"] = "test"
+
+require "spec"
+require "marten"
+require "marten/spec"
+
+require "../src/project"
+```
+
+As you can see, the `spec_helper.cr` file forces the Marten environment variable to be set to `test` and requires the spec library as well as Marten and your actual project. This file should be required by all your spec files.
+
+:::info
+It's very important to require `marten/spec` in your top-level spec helper as this will ensure that the mandatory spec callbacks are configured for your spec suite (eg. in order to ensure that your database is properly set up before each spec is executed).
+:::
+
+When it comes to running your tests, you can simply make use of the standard [`crystal spec`](https://crystal-lang.org/reference/man/crystal/index.html#crystal-spec) command.
+
+## Writing tests
+
+To write tests, you should write regular [specs](https://crystal-lang.org/reference/guides/testing.html) and ensure that your spec files always require the `spec/spec_helper.cr` file.
+
+For example:
+
+```crystal
+require "./spec_helper"
+
+describe MySuperAbstraction do
+ describe "#foo" do
+ it "returns bar" do
+ obj = MySuperAbstraction.new
+ obj.foo.should eq "bar"
+ end
+ end
+end
+```
+
+You are encouraged to organize your spec files by following the structure of your projects. For example, you could create a `models` folder and define specs related to your models in it.
+
+:::tip
+When organizing spec files across multiple folders, one good practice is to define a `spec_helper.cr` file at each level of your folders structure. These additional `spec_helper.cr` files should require the same file from the parent folder.
+
+For example:
+
+```crystal title=spec/models/spec_helper.cr
+require "../spec_helper"
+```
+
+```crystal title=spec/models/article_spec.cr
+require "./spec_helper"
+
+describe Article do
+ # ...
+end
+```
+:::
+
+## Running tests
+
+As mentioned before, running specs involves making use of the standard [`crystal spec`](https://crystal-lang.org/reference/man/crystal/index.html#crystal-spec) command.
+
+### The test environment
+
+By default, the [`new`](./reference/management-commands.md#new) management command always creates a `test` environment when generating new projects. As such, you should ensure that the `MARTEN_ENV` environment variable is set to `test` when running your Crystal specs. It should also be reminded that this `test` environment is associated with a dedicated settings file where test-related settings can be specified and/or overridden if necessary (see [Settings](./settings.md#environments) for more details about this).
+
+### The test database
+
+Marten **must** use a different database when running tests in order to not tamper with your regular database. Indeed, the database used in the context of specs will be flushed and generated automatically every time the specs suite is executed. You should not set these database names to the same names as the ones used for your development or production environments. If test database names are not explicitly set, your specs suite won't be allowed to run at all.
+
+One way to ensure you use a dedicated database specifically for tests is to override the [`database`](./reference/settings.md#database-settings) settings as follows:
+
+```crystal title=config/settings/test.cr
+Marten.configure :test do |config|
+ config.database do |db|
+ db.name = "my_project_test"
+ end
+end
+```
+
+## Testing tools
+
+Marten provides some tools that can become useful when writing specs.
+
+### Using the test client
+
+The test client is an abstraction that is provided when requiring `marten/spec` and that acts as a very basic web client. This tool allows you to easily test your handlers and the various routes of your application by issuing requests and by introspecting the returned responses.
+
+By leveraging the test client, you can easily simulate various requests (eg. GET or POST requests) for specific URLs and observe the returned responses. While doing so, you can introspect the response properties (such as its status code, content, and headers) in order to verify that your handlers behave as expected.
+
+#### A simple example
+
+To use the test client, you can either initialize a [`Marten::Spec::Client`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Spec/Client.html) object or make use of the per-spec test client that is provided by the [`Marten::Spec#client`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Spec.html#client%3AClient-class-method) method. Initializing new [`Marten::Spec::Client`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Spec.html#client%3AClient-class-method) objects allow you to set client-wide properties, like a default content type.
+
+:::info
+Note that the client returned by the [`Marten::Spec#client`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Spec.html#client%3AClient-class-method) method is memoized and is reset after _each_ spec execution.
+:::
+
+Let's have a look at a simple way to use the test client and verify the corresponding responses:
+
+```crystal
+describe MyRedirectHandler do
+ describe "#get" do
+ it "returns the expected redirect response" do
+ response = Marten::Spec.client.get("/my-redirect-handler", query_params: {"foo" => "bar"})
+
+ response.status.should eq 302
+ response.headers["Location"].should eq "/redirected"
+ end
+ end
+end
+```
+
+:::tip
+In the above example we are simply specifying a "raw" path by hardcoding its value. In a real scenario, you will likely want to [resolve your handler URLs](../handlers-and-http/routing.md#reverse-url-resolutions) using the [`Marten::Routing::Map#reverse`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Routing/Map.html#reverse(name%3AString|Symbol%2Cparams%3AHash(String|Symbol%2CParameter%3A%3ATypes))-instance-method) method of the main routes map (that way, you don't hardcode route paths in your specs). For example
+
+```crystal
+url = Marten.routes.reverse("article_detail", pk: 42)
+response = Marten::Spec.client.get(url, query_params: {"foo" => "bar"})
+```
+:::
+
+Here we are simply issuing a GET request (by leveraging the [`#get`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Spec/Client.html#get(path%3AString%2Cquery_params%3AHash|NamedTuple|Nil%3Dnil%2Ccontent_type%3AString|Nil%3Dnil%2Cheaders%3AHash|NamedTuple|Nil%3Dnil%2Csecure%3Dfalse)%3AMarten%3A%3AHTTP%3A%3AResponse-instance-method) test client method) and testing the obtained response. A few things can be noted:
+
+* The test client does not require your project's server to be running: internally it uses a lightweight server handlers chain that ensures that your project's middlewares are applied and that the URL you requested is resolved and mapped to the right handler
+* Only the path to the handler needs to be specified when issuing requests (eg. `/foo/bar`)
+
+Note that you can also issue other types of requests by leveraging methods like [`#post`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Spec/Client.html#post(path%3AString%2Cdata%3AHash|NamedTuple|Nil|String%3Dnil%2Cquery_params%3AHash|NamedTuple|Nil%3Dnil%2Ccontent_type%3AString|Nil%3Dnil%2Cheaders%3AHash|NamedTuple|Nil%3Dnil%2Csecure%3Dfalse)%3AMarten%3A%3AHTTP%3A%3AResponse-instance-method), [`#put`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Spec/Client.html#put(path%3AString%2Cdata%3AHash|NamedTuple|Nil|String%3Dnil%2Cquery_params%3AHash|NamedTuple|Nil%3Dnil%2Ccontent_type%3AString|Nil%3Dnil%2Cheaders%3AHash|NamedTuple|Nil%3Dnil%2Csecure%3Dfalse)%3AMarten%3A%3AHTTP%3A%3AResponse-instance-method), or [`#delete`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Spec/Client.html#delete(path%3AString%2Cdata%3AHash|NamedTuple|Nil|String%3Dnil%2Cquery_params%3AHash|NamedTuple|Nil%3Dnil%2Ccontent_type%3AString|Nil%3Dnil%2Cheaders%3AHash|NamedTuple|Nil%3Dnil%2Csecure%3Dfalse)%3AMarten%3A%3AHTTP%3A%3AResponse-instance-method). For example:
+
+```crystal
+describe MySchemaHandler do
+ describe "#post" do
+ it "validates the data and redirects" do
+ response = Marten::Spec.client.post("/my-schema-handler", data: {"first_name" => "John", "last_name" => "Doe"})
+
+ response.status.should eq 302
+ response.headers["Location"].should eq "/redirected"
+ end
+ end
+end
+```
+
+:::info
+By default, CSRF checks are disabled for requests issued by the test client. If for some reasons you need to ensure that those are enabled, you can initialize a [`Marten::Spec::Client`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Spec/Client.html) object with `disable_request_forgery_protection: false`.
+:::
+
+#### Introspecting responses
+
+Responses returned by the test client are instances of the standard [`Marten::HTTP::Response`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/HTTP/Response.html) class. As such you can easily access response attributes such as the status code, the content and content type, cookies, and headers in your specs in order to verify that the expected response was returned by your handler.
+
+#### Exceptions
+
+It is important to note that exceptions raised in your handlers will be visible from your spec. This means that you should use the standard [`#expect_raises`](https://crystal-lang.org/api/Spec/Expectations.html#expect_raises%28klass%3AT.class%2Cmessage%3AString%7CRegex%7CNil%3Dnil%2Cfile%3D__FILE__%2Cline%3D__LINE__%2C%26%29forallT-instance-method) expectation helper to verify that these exceptions are indeed raised.
+
+#### Session and cookies
+
+Test clients are always stateful: if a handler sets a cookie in the returned response, then this cookie will be stored in the client's cookie store (available via the [`#cookies`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Spec/Client.html#cookies-instance-method) method) and will be automatically sent for subsequent requests issued by the client.
+
+The same goes for session values: such values can be set using the session store returned by the [`#sessions`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Spec/Client.html#session-instance-method) client method. If you set session values in this store prior to any request, the matched handler will have access to them and the new values that are set by the handler will be available for further inspection once the response is returned. These session values are also maintained between requests issued by a single client.
+
+For example:
+
+```crystal
+describe MyHandler do
+ describe "#get" do
+ it "renders the expected content if the right value is in the session" do
+ Marten::Spec.client.session["foo"] = "bar"
+
+ url = Marten.routes.reverse("initiate_request")
+ response = Marten::Spec.client.get(url)
+
+ response.status.should eq 200
+ response.content.includes?("Initiate request").should be_true
+ end
+ end
+end
+```
+
+#### Testing client and authentication
+
+When using the [marten-auth](https://github.com/martenframework/marten-auth) shard and the built-in [authentication](../authentication.mdx), a few additional helpers can be leveraged in order to easily sign in/sign out users while using the test client:
+
+* The `#sign_in` method can be used to simulate the effect of a signed-in user. This means that the user ID will be persisted into the test client session and that requests issued with it will be associated with the considered user
+* The `#sign_out` method can be used to ensure that any signed-in user is logged out and that the session is flushed
+
+For example:
+
+```crystal
+describe MyHandler do
+ describe "#get" do
+ it "shows the profile page of the authenticated user" do
+ user = Auth::User.create!(email: "test@example.com") do |user
+ user.set_password("insecure")
+ end
+
+ url = Marten.routes.reverse("auth:profile")
+
+ Marten::Spec.client.sign_in(user)
+ response = Marten::Spec.client.get(url)
+
+ response.status.should eq 200
+ response.content.includes?("Profile").should be_true
+ end
+ end
+end
+```
+
+### Collecting emails
+
+If your code is sending [emails](../emailing/introduction.md), you might want to test that these emails are sent as expected. To do that, you can leverage the [development emailing backend](../emailing/reference/backends.md#development-backend) to ensure that sent emails are collected as part of each spec execution.
+
+To do that, the emailing backend needs to be initialized with `collect_emails: true` when configuring the [`emailing.backend`](./reference/settings.md#backend-1) setting. For example:
+
+```crystal title=config/settings/test.cr
+Marten.configure :test do |config|
+ config.backend = Marten::Emailing::Backend::Development.new(collect_emails: true)
+end
+```
+
+Doing so will ensure that all sent emails are "collected" for further inspection. You can easily retrieve collected emails by calling the [`Marten::Spec#delivered_emails`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Spec.html#delivered_emails%3AArray(Emailing%3A%3AEmail)-class-method) method, which returns an array of [`Marten::Email`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Emailing/Email.html) instances. For example:
+
+```crystal
+describe MyObject do
+ describe "#do_something" do
+ it "sends an email as expected" do
+ obj = MyObject.new
+ obj.do_something
+
+ Marten::Spec.delivered_emails.size.should eq 1
+ Marten::Spec.delivered_emails[0].subject.should eq "Test subject"
+ end
+ end
+end
+```
+
+:::info
+Note that Marten also automatically ensures that the collected emails are automatically reset after each spec execution so that you don't have to take care of that directly.

+title: Email callbacks
+description: Learn how to define email callbacks.
+sidebar_label: Callbacks
+---
+
+Callbacks enable you to define logic that is triggered at different stages of an email's lifecycle. This document covers the available callbacks and introduces you to the associated API, which you can use to define hooks in your emails.
+
+## Overview
+
+As stated above, callbacks are methods that will be called when specific events occur for a specific email instance. They need to be registered explicitly in your email classes.
+
+Registering a callback is as simple as calling the right callback macro (eg. `#before_deliver`) with a symbol of the name of the method to call when the callback is executed.
+
+For example, the following email leverages the [`#after_deliver`](#after_deliver) callback in order to emit a specific StatsD metric:
+
+```crystal
+require "statsd"
+
+statsd = Statsd::Client.new
+
+class WelcomeEmail < Marten::Email
+ from "no-reply@martenframework.com"
+ to @user.email
+ subject "Hello!"
+ template_name "emails/welcome_email.html"
+
+ after_deliver :emit_delivered_welcome_email_metric
+
+ def initialize(@user : User)
+ end
+
+ private def emit_delivered_welcome_email_metric
+ statsd.increment "email.welcome.delivered", tags: ["app:myapp"]
+ end
+end
+```
+
+## Available callbacks
+
+### `before_deliver`
+
+`before_deliver` callbacks are executed _before_ an email is delivered (as part of the email's [`#deliver`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Emailing/Email.html#deliver-instance-method) method). For example, this capability can be leveraged to mutate the considered email instance before the actual email gets delivered:
+
+```crystal
+class WelcomeEmail < Marten::Email
+ from "no-reply@martenframework.com"
+ to @user.email
+ subject "Hello!"
+ template_name "emails/welcome_email.html"
+
+ before_deliver :set_header
+
+ def initialize(@user : User)
+ end
+
+ private def set_header
+ headers["X-Debug"] = "True" if Marten.env.staging?
+ end
+end
+```
+
+### `after_deliver`
+
+`after_deliver` callbacks are executed _after_ an email is delivered (as part of the email's [`#deliver`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Emailing/Email.html#deliver-instance-method) method). For example, such callbacks can be leveraged to increment email-specific metrics:
+
+```crystal
+require "statsd"
+
+statsd = Statsd::Client.new
+
+class WelcomeEmail < Marten::Email
+ from "no-reply@martenframework.com"
+ to @user.email
+ subject "Hello!"
+ template_name "emails/welcome_email.html"
+
+ after_deliver :emit_delivered_welcome_email_metric
+
+ def initialize(@user : User)
+ end
+
+ private def emit_delivered_welcome_email_metric
+ statsd.increment "email.welcome.delivered", tags: ["app:myapp"]
+ end
+end
+```
+
+### `before_render`
+
+`before_render` callbacks are invoked prior to rendering a template when generating the HTML or text body of the email. This means that these callbacks are executed when calling either the [`#deliver`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Emailing/Email.html#deliver-instance-method), [`#html_body`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Emailing/Email.html#html_body%3AString|Nil-instance-method), or [`#text_body`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Emailing/Email.html#text_body%3AString|Nil-instance-method) methods.
+
+Typically, these callbacks can be used to add new variables to the global email template context, in order to make them available to the template runtime. This can be useful if your email has some instance variables that you want to expose to your email template. For example:
+
+```crystal
+class WelcomeEmail < Marten::Email
+ from "no-reply@martenframework.com"
+ to @user.email
+ subject "Hello!"
+ template_name "emails/welcome_email.html"
+
+ before_render :prepare_context
+
+ def initialize(@user : User)
+ end
+
+ private def prepare_context
+ context[:user] = @user
+ end
+end
+```

+title: Create emailing backends
+description: How to create custom emailing backends.
+---
+
+Marten lets you easily create custom [emailing backends](../introduction.md#emailing-backends) that you can then use as part of your application when it comes to sending emails.
+
+## Basic backend definition
+
+Defining an emailing backend is as simple as creating a class that inherits from the [`Marten::Emailing::Backend::Base`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Emailing/Backend/Base.html) abstract class and that implements a unique `#deliver` method. This method takes a single `email` argument (instance of [`Marten::Emailing::Email`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Emailing/Email.html)), corresponding to the email to deliver.
+
+For example:
+
+```crystal
+class CustomEmailingBackend < Marten::Emailing::Backend::Base
+ def deliver(email : Email)
+ # Deliver the email!
+ end
+end
+```
+
+## Enabling the use of custom emailing backends
+
+Custom emailing backends can be used by assigning an instance of the corresponding class to the [`emailing.backend`](../../development/reference/settings.md#backend-1) setting.
+
+For example:
+
+```crystal
+config.emailing.backend = CustomEmailingBackend.new
+```

+title: Introduction to emails
+description: Learn how to define emails in a Marten project and how to deliver them.
+sidebar_label: Introduction
+---
+
+Marten lets you define emails in a very declarative way and gives you the ability to fully customize the content of these emails, their properties and associated header values, and obviously how they should be delivered.
+
+## Email definition
+
+Emails must be defined as subclasses of the [`Emailing::Email`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Emailing/Email.html) abstract class and they usually live in an `emails` folder at the root of an application. These classes can define to which email addresses the email is sent (including CC or BCC addresses) and with which [templates](../templates.mdx) the body of the email (HTML or plain text) is rendered.
+
+For example, the following snippet defines a simple email that is sent to a specific user's email address:
+
+```crystal
+class WelcomeEmail < Marten::Email
+ from "no-reply@martenframework.com"
+ to @user.email
+ subject "Hello!"
+ template_name "emails/welcome_email.html"
+
+ def initialize(@user : User)
+ end
+end
+```
+
+:::info
+It is not necessary to systematically specify the `from` email address with the [`#from`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Emailing/Email.html#from(value)-macro) macro. Indeed, unless specified, the default "from" email address that is defined in the [`emailing.from_address`](../development/reference/settings.md#from_address) setting is automatically used.
+:::
+
+In the above snippet, a `WelcomeEmail` email class is defined by inheriting from the [`Emailing::Email`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Emailing/Email.html) abstract class. This email is initialized with a hypothetical `User` record, and this user's email address is used as the recipient email (through the use of the [`#to`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Emailing/Email.html#to(value)-macro) macro). Other email properties are also defined in the above snippet, such as the "from" email address ([`#from`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Emailing/Email.html#from(value)-macro) macro) and the subject of the email ([`#subject`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Emailing/Email.html#subject(value)-macro) macro).
+
+### Specifying email properties
+
+Most email properties (eg. from address, recipient addresses, etc) can be specified in two ways:
+
+* through the use of a dedicated macro
+* by overriding a corresponding method in the email class
+
+Indeed, it is convenient to define email properties through the use of the dedicated macros: [`#from`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Emailing/Email.html#from(value)-macro) for the sender email, [`#to`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Emailing/Email.html#to(value)-macro) for the recipient addresses, [`#cc`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Emailing/Email.html#cc(value)-macro) for the CC addresses, [`#bcc`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Emailing/Email.html#bcc(value)-macro) for the BCC addresses, [`#reply_to`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Emailing/Email.html#reply_to(value)-macro) for the Reply-To address, and [`#subject`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Emailing/Email.html#subject(value)-macro) for the email subject.
+
+That being said, if more complicated logics need to be implemented to generate these email properties, it is perfectly possible to simply override the corresponding method in the considered email class. For example:
+
+```crystal
+class WelcomeEmail < Marten::Email
+ from "no-reply@martenframework.com"
+ to @user.email
+ template_name "emails/welcome_email.html"
+
+ def initialize(@user : User)
+ end
+
+ def subject
+ if @user.referred?
+ "Glad to see you here!"
+ else
+ "Welcome to the app!"
+ end
+ end
+end
+```
+
+### Defining HTML and text bodies
+
+The HTML body (and optionally text body) of the email is rendered using a [template](../templates.mdx) whose name can be specified by using the [`#template_name`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Emailing/Email.html#template_name(template_name%3AString%3F%2Ccontent_type%3AContentType|String|Symbol%3DContentType%3A%3AHTML)%3ANil-class-method) class method. By default, unless explicitly specified, it is assumed that the template specified to this method is used for rendering the HTML body of the email. That being said, it is possible to explicitly specify for which content type the template should be used by specifying an optional `content_type` argument as follows:
+
+```crystal
+class WelcomeEmail < Marten::Email
+ to @user.email
+ subject "Hello!"
+ template_name "emails/welcome_email.html", content_type: :html
+ template_name "emails/welcome_email.txt", content_type: :text
+
+ def initialize(@user : User)
+ end
+end
+```
+
+Note that it is perfectly valid to specify one template for rendering the HTML body AND another one for rendering the text body (like in the above example).
+
+:::info
+Note that you can define [`#html_body`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Emailing/Email.html#html_body%3AString%3F-instance-method) and [`#text_body`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Emailing/Email.html#html_body%3AString%3F-instance-method) methods if you need to override the logic that allows generating the HTML or text body of your email.
+:::
+
+### Modifying the template context
+
+All emails have access to a [`#context`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Emailing/Email.html#context-instance-method) method that returns a [template](../templates/introduction.md) context object. This "global" context object is available for the lifetime of the considered email and can be mutated in order to define which variables are made available to the template runtime when rendering templates in order to generate the HTML/text bodies of your email (which happens when [sending the email](#sending-emails)).
+
+To modify this context object effectively, it's recommended to utilize [`before_render`](./callbacks.md#before_render) callbacks, which are invoked just before rendering a template within your email. For example, this can be achieved as follows:
+
+```crystal
+class WelcomeEmail < Marten::Email
+ from "no-reply@martenframework.com"
+ to @user.email
+ subject "Hello!"
+ template_name "emails/welcome_email.html"
+
+ before_render :prepare_context
+
+ def initialize(@user : User)
+ end
+
+ private def prepare_context
+ context[:user] = @user
+ end
+end
+```
+
+In the above example, the [`before_render`](./callbacks.md#before_render) callback simply assigns a new `user` variable to the email template context. Consequently, a corresponding `{{ user }}` variable will be available in the template configured for this email (`emails/welcome_email.html` in this case).
+
+### Defining custom headers
+
+If you need to insert custom headers into your emails, then you can easily do so by defining a `#headers` method in your email class. This method must return a hash of string keys and values.
+
+For example:
+
+```crystal
+class WelcomeEmail < Marten::Email
+ to @user.email
+ template_name "emails/welcome_email.html"
+
+ def initialize(@user : User)
+ end
+
+ def headers
+ {"X-Foo" => "bar"}
+ end
+end
+```
+
+## Sending emails
+
+Emails are sent _synchronously_ through the use of the [`#deliver`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Emailing/Email.html#deliver-instance-method). For example, the `WelcomeEmail` email defined in the previous sections could be initialized and delivered by doing:
+
+```crystal
+email = WelcomeEmail.new(user)
+email.deliver
+```
+
+When calling [`#deliver`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Emailing/Email.html#deliver-instance-method), the considered email will be delivered by using the currently configured [emailing backend](#emailing-backends).
+
+## Emailing backends
+
+Emailing backends define _how_ emails are actually sent when [`#deliver`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Emailing/Email.html#deliver-instance-method) gets called. For example, a [development backend](./reference/backends.md#development-backend) might simply "collect" the sent emails and print their information to the standard output. Other backends might also integrate with existing email services or interact with an SMTP server to ensure email delivery.
+
+Which backend is used when sending emails is something that is controlled by the [`emailing.backend`](../development/reference/settings.md#backend-1) setting. All the available emailing backends are listed in the [emailing backend reference](./reference/backends.md).
+
+:::tip
+If necessary, it is also possible to override which emailing backend is used on a per-email basis by leveraging the [`#backend`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Emailing/Email.html#backend(backend%3ABackend%3A%3ABase)%3ANil-class-method) class method. For example:
+
+```crystal
+class WelcomeEmail < Marten::Email
+ from "no-reply@martenframework.com"
+ to @user.email
+ subject "Hello!"
+ template_name "emails/welcome_email.html"
+
+ backend Marten::Emailing::Backend::Development.new(print_emails: true)
+
+ def initialize(@user : User)
+ end
+end
+```
+:::
+
+## Callbacks
+
+It is possible to define callbacks in order to bind methods and logics to specific events in the lifecycle of your emails. For example, it is possible to define callbacks that run before or after an email gets delivered.
+
+Please head over to the [Email callbacks](./callbacks.md) guide in order to learn more about email callbacks.

+
+This is the default backend used as part of the [`emailing.backend`](../../development/reference/settings.md#backend-1) setting.
+
+This backend "collects" all the emails that are "delivered", which can be used in specs in order to test sent emails. This "collect" behavior can be disabled if necessary, and the backend can also be configured to print email details to the standard output.
+
+For example:
+
+```crystal
+config.emailing.backend = Marten::Emailing::Backend::Development.new(print_emails: true, collect_emails: false)
+```
+
+## Other backends
+
+Additional emailing backend shards are also maintained under the umbrella of the Marten project or by the community itself and can be used as part of your application depending on your specific email sending requirements:
+
+* [`marten-smtp-emailing`](https://github.com/martenframework/marten-smtp-emailing) provides an SMTP emailing backend
+* [`marten-sendgrid-emailing`](https://github.com/martenframework/marten-sendgrid-emailing) provides a [Sendgrid](https://sendgrid.com/) emailing backend

+title: Create custom file storages
+description: Learn how to create custom file storages.
+---
+
+Marten uses a file storage mechanism to perform file operations like saving files, deleting files, generating URLs, ... This file storages mechanism allows to save files in different backends by leveraging a standardized API. You can leverage this capability to implement custom file storages (which you can then use for [assets](../../assets/introduction.md) or as part of [file model fields](../uploading-files.md#persisting-uploaded-files-in-model-records)).
+
+## Basic file storage implementation
+
+File storages are implemented as subclasses of the [`Marten::Core::Storage::Base`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Core/Storage/Base.html) abstract class. As such, they must implement a set of mandatory methods which provide the following functionalities:
+
+* saving files ([`#save`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Core/Storage/Base.html#save(filepath%3AString%2Ccontent%3AIO)%3AString-instance-method))
+* deleting files ([`#delete`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Core/Storage/Base.html#delete(filepath%3AString)%3ANil-instance-method))
+* opening files ([`#open`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Core/Storage/Base.html#open(filepath%3AString)%3AIO-instance-method))
+* verifying that files exist ([`#exist?`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Core/Storage/Base.html#exists%3F(filepath%3AString)%3ABool-instance-method))
+* retrieving file sizes ([`#size`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Core/Storage/Base.html#size(filepath%3AString)%3AInt64-instance-method))
+* retrieving file URLs ([`#url`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Core/Storage/Base.html#url(filepath%3AString)%3AString-instance-method))
+
+Note that you can fully customize how file storage objects are initialized.
+
+For example, a custom-made "file system" storage (that reads and writes files in a specific folder of the local file system) could be implemented as follows:
+
+```crystal
+require "file_utils"
+
+class FileSystem < Marten::Core::Storage::Base
+ def initialize(@root : String, @base_url : String)
+ end
+
+ def delete(filepath : String) : Nil
+ File.delete(path(filepath))
+ rescue File::NotFoundError
+ raise Marten::Core::Storage::Errors::FileNotFound.new("File '#{filepath}' cannot be found")
+ end
+
+ def exists?(filepath : String) : Bool
+ File.exists?(path(filepath))
+ end
+
+ def open(filepath : String) : IO
+ File.open(path(filepath), mode: "rb")
+ rescue File::NotFoundError
+ raise Marten::Core::Storage::Errors::FileNotFound.new("File '#{filepath}' cannot be found")
+ end
+
+ def size(filepath : String) : Int64
+ File.size(path(filepath))
+ end
+
+ def url(filepath : String) : String
+ File.join(base_url, URI.encode_path(filepath))
+ end
+
+ def write(filepath : String, content : IO) : Nil
+ new_path = path(filepath)
+
+ FileUtils.mkdir_p(Path[new_path].dirname)
+
+ File.open(new_path, "wb") do |new_file|
+ IO.copy(content, new_file)
+ end
+ end
+
+ private getter root
+ private getter base_url
+
+ private def path(filepath)
+ File.join(root, filepath)
+ end
+end
+```
+
+## Using custom file storages
+
+You have many options when it comes to using your custom file storage classes, and those depend on what you are trying to do:
+

As you can see, Marten's templating system relies on variables that are surrounded by **`{{`** and **`}}`**. Each variable can involve lookups in order to access specific object attributes. In the above example `{{ article.title }}` means that the `title` attribute of the `article` variable should be outputted.
Method-calling is done by using statements (also called "template tags") delimited by **`{%`** and **`%}`**. Such statements can involve for loops, if conditions, etc. In the above example we are using a for loop to iterate over the `Article` records in the `articles` query set that is "passed" to the template context in our `HomeHandler` handler.

+title: Handler callbacks
+description: Learn how to define handler callbacks.
+sidebar_label: Callbacks
+---
+
+Callbacks enable you to define logic that is triggered at different stages of a handler's lifecycle. This feature allows you to intercept incoming requests and potentially bypass the standard `#dispatch` method. This document covers the available callbacks and introduces you to the associated API, which you can use to define hooks in your handlers.
+
+## Overview
+
+As stated above, callbacks are methods that will be called when specific events occur for a specific handler instance. They need to be registered explicitly in your handler classes. There are many types of of callbacks: some are [shared between all types of handlers](#shared-handler-callbacks) while some others are specific to some kinds of generic handlers. For most types of callbacks, it is generally possible to register "before" or "after" callbacks.
+
+Registering a callback is as simple as calling the right callback macro (eg. `#before_dispatch`) with a symbol of the name of the method to call when the callback is executed.
+
+For example, the following handler leverages the [`#before_dispatch`](#before_dispatch) callback in order to redirect the user to a login page if they are not already authenticated:
+
+```crystal
+class MyHandler < Marten::Handler
+ before_dispatch :require_authenticated_user
+
+ def get
+ respond "Hello, authenticated user!"
+ end
+
+ private def require_authenticated_user
+ redirect(login_url) unless user_authenticated?(request)
+ end
+end
+```
+
+## Shared handler callbacks
+
+The following callbacks are shared between all types of handlers.
+
+### `before_dispatch`
+
+`before_dispatch` callbacks are executed _before_ a request is processed as part of the handler's `#dispatch` method. For example, this capability can be leveraged to inspect the incoming request and verify that a user is logged in:
+
+```crystal
+class MyHandler < Marten::Handler
+ before_dispatch :require_authenticated_user
+
+ def get
+ respond "Hello, authenticated user!"
+ end
+
+ private def require_authenticated_user
+ redirect(login_url) unless user_authenticated?(request)
+ end
+end
+```
+
+When one of the defined `before_dispatch` callbacks returns a [`Marten::HTTP::Response`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/HTTP/Response.html) object (like this is the case in the above example), this response is always used instead of calling the handler's `#dispatch` method (the latest is thus completely bypassed).
+
+### `after_dispatch`
+
+`after_dispatch` callbacks are executed _after_ a request is processed as part of the handler's `#dispatch` method. For example, such a callback can be leveraged to automatically add headers or cookies to the returned response.
+
+```crystal
+class MyHandler < Marten::Handler
+ after_dispatch :add_required_header
+
+ def get
+ respond "Hello, authenticated user!"
+ end
+
+ private def add_required_header : Nil
+ response!.headers["X-Foo"] = "Bar"
+ end
+end
+```
+
+Similarly to `#before_dispatch` callbacks, `#after_dispatch` callbacks can return a brand new [`Marten::HTTP::Response`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/HTTP/Response.html) object. When this is the case, this response is always used instead of the one that was returned by the handler's `#dispatch` method.
+
+### `before_render`
+
+`before_render` callbacks are invoked prior to rendering a template when generating a response that incorporates its content. This means that these callbacks are executed as part of the [`#render`](./introduction.md#render) helper method and when rendering templates as part of subclasses of the [`Marten::Handlers::Template`](./generic-handlers.md#rendering-a-template) generic handler.
+
+Typically, these callbacks are used to add new variables to the [global template context](./introduction.md#global-template-context), in order to make them accessible to the template runtime. For example:
+
+```crystal
+class MyHandler < Marten::Handlers::Template
+ template_name "app/my_template.html"
+ before_render :add_variable_to_context
+
+ private def add_variable_to_context : Nil
+ context["foo"] = "bar"
+ end
+end
+```
+
+Note that `before_render` callbacks can technically be used to return a [`Marten::HTTP::Response`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/HTTP/Response.html) object. When this situation arises, this response always takes precedence over the one that would've been returned following the rendering of the template.
+
+## Schema handler callbacks
+
+The following callbacks are only available for handlers that inherit from the [schema handler](./reference/generic-handlers.md#processing-a-schema). That is, handlers that inherit from [`Marten::Handlers::Schema`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Handlers/Schema.html), but also handlers that inherit from [`Marten::Handlers::RecordCreate`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Handlers/RecordCreate.html) and [`Marten::Handlers::RecordUpdate`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Handlers/RecordUpdate.html).
+
+These callbacks let you define logics that are triggered before or after the validation of the schema. This allows you to easily intercept validation and handle the response independently of the schema validity. All these callbacks can optionally return a [`Marten::HTTP::Response`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/HTTP/Response.html) object. When an HTTP response is returned,
+all following callbacks are skipped and the obtained response is returned directly, thus bypassing responses that might have been returned after by the handler.
+
+### `before_schema_validation`
+
+`before_schema_validation` callbacks are executed _before_ a schema is checked for validity. For example, this capability can be leveraged to set an attribute on the schema object before the schema validity is checked:
+
+```crystal
+class ArticleCreateHandler < Marten::Handlers::Schema
+ success_url "https://example.com/articles/list"
+ template_name "articles/create.html"
+ schema ArticleSchema
+
+ before_schema_validation :prepare_schema
+
+ private def prepare_schema
+ schema.user = request.user
+ end
+end
+```
+
+### `after_schema_validation`
+
+`after_schema_validation` callbacks are executed right _after_ a schema is checked for validity. For example, this capability can be leveraged to call a custom method on the schema instance:
+
+```crystal
+class ArticleCreateHandler < Marten::Handlers::Schema
+ success_url "https://example.com/articles/list"
+ template_name "articles/create.html"
+ schema ArticleSchema
+
+ after_schema_validation :run_schema_post_validation
+
+ private def run_schema_post_validation : Nil
+ schema.trigger_post_something
+ end
+end
+```
+
+### `after_successful_schema_validation`
+
+`after_successful_schema_validation` callbacks are executed right _after_ a schema is checked for validity (and after possible [`after_schema_validation`](#after_schema_validation) callbacks), and only if the schema validation was successful.
+For example, this capability can be leveraged to create a flash message:
+
+```crystal
+class ArticleCreateHandler < Marten::Handlers::Schema
+ success_url "https://example.com/articles/list"
+ template_name "articles/create.html"
+ schema ArticleSchema
+
+ after_successful_schema_validation :generate_success_flash_message
+
+ private def generate_success_flash_message : Nil
+ flash[:notice] = "Article successfully created!"
+ end
+end
+```
+
+### `after_failed_schema_validation`
+
+`after_failed_schema_validation` callbacks are executed right _after_ a schema is checked for validity (and after possible
+[`after_schema_validation`](#after_schema_validation) callbacks), but only if the schema validation failed. For example, this capability can be leveraged to create a flash message:
+
+```crystal
+class ArticleCreateHandler < Marten::Handlers::Schema
+ success_url "https://example.com/articles/list"
+ template_name "articles/create.html"
+ schema ArticleSchema
+
+ after_failed_schema_validation :generate_failure_flash_message
+
+ private def generate_failure_flash_message : Nil
+ flash[:notice] = "Article creation failed!"
+ end
+end
+```

+title: Cookies
+description: Learn how to use cookies to persist data on the client.
+---
+
+Handlers are able to interact with a cookies store that you can use to store small amounts of data - called cookies - on the client. This data will be persisted across requests and will be made accessible with every incoming request.
+
+## Basic usage
+
+### Accessing the cookie store
+
+Cookies can be interacted with by leveraging a cookie store: an instance of [`Marten::HTTP::Cookies`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/HTTP/Cookies.html) that provides a hash-like interface allowing to retrieve and store cookie values. This cookie store can be accessed from three different places:
+
+* Handlers can access it through the use of the [`#cookies`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Handlers/Cookies.html#cookies(*args%2C**options)-instance-method) method.
+* [`Marten::HTTP::Request`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/HTTP/Request.html) objects give access to the cookies associated with the request via the [`#cookies`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/HTTP/Request.html#cookies-instance-method) method.
+* [`Marten::HTTP::Response`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/HTTP/Response.html) objects give access to the cookies that will be returned with the HTTP response via the [`#cookies`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/HTTP/Response.html#cookies%3AMarten%3A%3AHTTP%3A%3ACookies-instance-method) method.
+
+
+Here is a very simple example of how to interact with the cookies store within a handler:
+
+```crystal
+class MyHandler < Marten::Handler
+ def get
+ cookies[:foo] = "bar"
+ respond "Hello World!"
+ end
+end
+```
+
+### Retrieving cookie values
+
+The most simple way to retrieve the value of a cookie is to leverage the [`#[]`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/HTTP/Cookies.html#[](name%3AString|Symbol)-instance-method) method or one of its variants.
+
+For example, the following lines could be used to read the value of a cookie named `foo`:
+
+```crystal
+request.cookies[:foo] # => returns the value of "foo" or raises a KeyError if not found
+request.cookies[:foo]? # => returns the value of "foo" or returns nil if not found
+```
+
+Alternatively, the [`#fetch`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/HTTP/Cookies.html#fetch(name%3AString|Symbol%2Cdefault%3Dnil)-instance-method) method can also be leveraged in order to execute a block or return a default value if the specified cookie is not found:
+
+```crystal
+request.cookies.fetch(:foo, "defaultval")
+request.cookies.fetch(:foo) { "defaultval" }
+```
+
+### Setting cookies
+
+The most simple way to set a new cookie is to call the [`#[]=`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/HTTP/Cookies.html#[]%3D(name%2Cvalue)-instance-method) method on a cookie store. For example:
+
+```crystal
+request.cookies[:foo] = "bar"
+```
+
+Calling this method will create a new cookie with the specified name and value. It should be noted that cookies created with the [`#[]=`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/HTTP/Cookies.html#[]%3D(name%2Cvalue)-instance-method) method will _not_ expire, will be associated with the root path (`/`), and will not be secure.
+
+Alternatively, it is possible to leverage the [`#set`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/HTTP/Cookies.html#set(name%3AString|Symbol%2Cvalue%2Cexpires%3ATime|Nil%3Dnil%2Cpath%3AString%3D"/"%2Cdomain%3AString|Nil%3Dnil%2Csecure%3ABool%3Dfalse%2Chttp_only%3ABool%3Dfalse%2Csame_site%3ANil|String|Symbol%3Dnil)%3ANil-instance-method) in order to specify custom cookie properties while setting new cookie values. For example:
+
+```crystal
+request.cookies.set(
+ :foo,
+ "bar",
+ expires: 2.days.from_now,
+ secure: true,
+ same_site: "lax"
+)
+```
+
+Appart from the cookie name and value, the [`#set`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/HTTP/Cookies.html#set(name%3AString|Symbol%2Cvalue%2Cexpires%3ATime|Nil%3Dnil%2Cpath%3AString%3D"/"%2Cdomain%3AString|Nil%3Dnil%2Csecure%3ABool%3Dfalse%2Chttp_only%3ABool%3Dfalse%2Csame_site%3ANil|String|Symbol%3Dnil)%3ANil-instance-method) method allows to define some additional cookie properties:
+
+* The cookie expiry datetime (`expires` argument).
+* The cookie `path`.
+* The associated `domain` (useful in order to define cross-domain cookies).
+* Whether or not the cookie should be sent for HTTPS requests only (`secure` argument).
+* Whether or not client-side scripts should have access to the cookie (`http_only` argument).
+* The `same_site` policy (accepted values are `"lax"` or `"strict"`).
+
+### Deleting cookies
+
+Cookies can be deleted by leveraging the [`#delete`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/HTTP/Cookies.html#delete(name%3AString|Symbol%2Cpath%3AString%3D"/"%2Cdomain%3AString|Nil%3Dnil%2Csame_site%3ANil|String|Symbol%3Dnil)%3AString|Nil-instance-method) method. This method will delete a specific cookie and return its value, or `nil` if the cookie does not exist:
+
+```crystal
+request.cookies.delete(:foo)
+```
+
+Apart from the name of the cookie, this method allows to define some additional properties of the cookie to delete:
+
+* The cookie `path`.
+* The associated `domain` (useful in order to define cross-domain cookies).
+* The `same_site` policy (accepted values are `"lax"` or `"strict"`).
+
+Note that the `path`, `domain`, and `same_site` values should always be the same as the ones that were used to create the cookie in the first place. Otherwise, the cookie might not be deleted properly.
+
+## Signed cookies
+
+In addition to the [regular cookie store](#accessing-the-cookie-store), Marten provides a signed cookie store version (which is accessible through the use of the [`Marten::HTTP::Cookies#signed`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/HTTP/Cookies.html#signed-instance-method) method) where cookies are signed (but **not** encrypted). This means that whenever a cookie is requested from this store, the signed representation of the corresponding value will be verified. This is useful to create cookies that can't be tampered by users, but it should be noted that the actual data can still be read by the client technically.
+
+All the methods that can be used with the regular cookie store that were highlighted in [Basic usage](#basic-usage) can also be used with the signed cookie store:
+
+```crystal
+# Retrieving cookies...
+request.signed.cookies[:foo]
+request.signed.cookies[:foo]?
+request.signed.cookies.fetch(:foo, "defaultval")
+request.signed.cookies.fetch(:foo) { "defaultval" }
+
+# Setting cookies...
+request.signed.cookies[:foo] = "bar"
+request.signed.cookies.set(:foo, "bar", expires: 2.days.from_now)
+
+# Deleting cookies...
+request.signed.cookies.delete(:foo)
+```
+
+The signed cookie store uses a [`Marten::Core::Signer`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Core/Signer.html) signer object in order to sign cookie values and to verify the signature of retrieved cookies. This means that cookies are signed with HMAC signatures that use the **SHA256** hash algorithm.
+
+:::info
+Only cookie _values_ are signed. Cookie _names_ are not signed.
+:::
+
+## Encrypted cookies
+
+In addition to the [regular cookie store](#accessing-the-cookie-store), Marten provides an encrypted cookie store version (which is accessible through the use of the [`Marten::HTTP::Cookies#encrypted`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/HTTP/Cookies.html#encrypted-instance-method) method) where cookies are signed and encrypted. This means that whenever a cookie is requested from this store, the raw value of the cookie will be decrypted and its signature will be verified. This is useful to create cookies whose values can't be read nor tampered by users.
+
+All the methods that can be used with the regular cookie store that were highlighted in [Basic usage](#basic-usage) can also be used with the encrypted cookie store:
+
+```crystal
+# Retrieving cookies...
+request.encrypted.cookies[:foo]
+request.encrypted.cookies[:foo]?
+request.encrypted.cookies.fetch(:foo, "defaultval")
+request.encrypted.cookies.fetch(:foo) { "defaultval" }
+
+# Setting cookies...
+request.encrypted.cookies[:foo] = "bar"
+request.encrypted.cookies.set(:foo, "bar", expires: 2.days.from_now)
+
+# Deleting cookies...
+request.encrypted.cookies.delete(:foo)
+```
+
+The signed cookie store uses a [`Marten::Core::Encryptor`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Core/Encryptor.html) encryptor object in order to encrypt and sign cookie values. This means that cookies are:
+
+* encrypted with an **aes-256-cbc** cipher.
+* signed with HMAC signatures that use the **SHA256** hash algorithm.
+
+:::info
+Only cookie _values_ are encrypted and signed. Cookie _names_ are not encrypted.

+Marten provides a set of generic handlers that can be used to perform common application tasks such as displaying lists of records, deleting entries, or rendering [templates](../templates/introduction.md). This saves developers from reinventing common patterns.
-When one of the defined `before_dispatch` callbacks returns a [`Marten::HTTP::Response`](pathname:///api/0.1/Marten/HTTP/Response.html) object, this response is always used instead of calling the handler's `#dispatch` method (the latest is thus completely bypassed).
+Please head over to the [Generic handlers](./generic-handlers.md) guide in order to learn more about available generic handlers.
-#### `after_dispatch`
+### Global template context
-`after_dispatch` callbacks are executed _after_ a request is processed as part of the handler's `#dispatch` method. For example, such a callback can be leveraged to automatically add headers or cookies to the returned response.
+All handlers have access to a [`#context`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Handlers/Base.html#context-instance-method) method that returns a [template](../templates/introduction.md) context object. This "global" context object is available for the lifetime of the considered handler and can be mutated in order to define which variables are made available to the template runtime when rendering templates through the use of the [`#render`](#render) helper method or when rendering templates as part of subclasses of the [`Marten::Handlers::Template`](./generic-handlers.md#rendering-a-template) generic handler.
-```crystal
-class MyHandler < Marten::Handler
- after_dispatch :add_required_header
+To modify this context object effectively, it's recommended to utilize [`before_render`](./callbacks.md#before_render) callbacks, which are invoked just before rendering a template within a handler. For example, this can be achieved as follows when using a [`Marten::Handlers::Template`](./generic-handlers.md#rendering-a-template) subclass:
- def get
- respond "Hello, authenticated user!"
- end
+```crystal
+class MyHandler < Marten::Handlers::Template
+ template_name "app/my_template.html"
+ before_render :add_variable_to_context
- private def add_required_header : Nil
- response!.headers["X-Foo"] = "Bar"
+ private def add_variable_to_context : Nil
+ context["foo"] = "bar"
end
end
```
-Similarly to `#before_dispatch` callbacks, `#after_dispatch` callbacks can return a brand new [`Marten::HTTP::Response`](pathname:///api/0.1/Marten/HTTP/Response.html) object. When this is the case, this response is always used instead of the one that was returned by the handler's `#dispatch` method.

### Returning errors
It is easy to forge any error response by leveraging the `#respond` or `#head` helpers that were mentioned [previously](#response-helper-methods). Using these helpers, it is possible to forge HTTP responses that are associated with specific error status codes and specific contents. For example:

-It should be noted that Marten also support a couple of exceptions that can be raised to automatically trigger default error handlers. For example [`Marten::HTTP::Errors::NotFound`](pathname:///api/0.1/Marten/HTTP/Errors/NotFound.html) can be raised from any handler to force a 404 Not Found response to be returned. Default error handlers can be returned automatically by the framework in many situations (eg. a record is not found, or an unhandled exception is raised); you can learn more about them in [Error handlers](./error-handlers.md).

## Using sessions
Handlers can interact with a session store, which you can use to store small amounts of data that will be persisted between requests.

+## Streaming responses
+
+The [`Marten::HTTP::Response::Streaming`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/HTTP/Response/Streaming.html) response class gives you the ability to stream a response from Marten to the browser. However, unlike a standard response, this specialized class requires initialization from an [iterator](https://crystal-lang.org/api/Iterator.html) of strings instead of a content string. This approach proves to be beneficial if you intend to generate lengthy responses or responses that consume excessive memory (a classic example of this is the generation of large CSV files).
+
+Compared to a regular [`Marten::HTTP::Response`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/HTTP/Response.html) object, the [`Marten::HTTP::Response::Streaming`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/HTTP/Response/Streaming.html) class operates differently in two ways:
+
+* Instead of initializing it with a content string, it requires initialization from an [iterator](https://crystal-lang.org/api/Iterator.html) of strings.
+* The response content is not directly accessible. The only way to obtain the actual response content is by iterating through the streamed content iterator, which can be accessed through the [`Marten::HTTP::Response::Streaming#streamed_content`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/HTTP/Response/Streaming.html#streamed_content%3AIterator(String)-instance-method) method. However, this is handled by Marten itself when sending the response to the browser, so you shouldn't need to worry about it.
+
+To generate streaming responses, you can either instantiate [`Marten::HTTP::Response::Streaming`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/HTTP/Response/Streaming.html) objects directly, or you can also leverage the [`#respond`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Handlers/Base.html#respond(streamed_content%3AIterator(String)%2Ccontent_type%3DHTTP%3A%3AResponse%3A%3ADEFAULT_CONTENT_TYPE%2Cstatus%3D200)-instance-method) helper method, which works similarly to the [`#respond`](#respond) variant for response content strings.
+
+For example, the following handler generates a CSV and streams its content by leveraging the [`#respond`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Handlers/Base.html#respond(streamed_content%3AIterator(String)%2Ccontent_type%3DHTTP%3A%3AResponse%3A%3ADEFAULT_CONTENT_TYPE%2Cstatus%3D200)-instance-method) helper method:
+
+```crystal
+require "csv"
+
+class StreamingTestHandler < Marten::Handler
+ def get
+ respond(streaming_iterator, content_type: "text/csv")
+ end
+
+ private def streaming_iterator
+ csv_io = IO::Memory.new
+ csv_builder = CSV::Builder.new(io: csv_io)
+
+ (1..1000000).each.map do |idx|
+ csv_builder.row("Row #{idx}", "Val #{idx}")
+
+ row_content = csv_io.to_s
+
+ csv_io.rewind
+ csv_io.flush
+
+ row_content
+ end
+ end
+end
+```
+
+:::caution
+When considering streaming responses, it is crucial to understand that the process of streaming ties up a worker process for the entire response duration. This can significantly impact your worker's performance, so it's essential to use this approach only when necessary. Generally, it's better to carry out expensive content generation tasks outside the request-response cycle to avoid any negative impact on your worker's performance.

+## Asset serving middleware
+
+**Class:** [`Marten::Middleware::AssetServing`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Middleware/AssetServing.html)
+
+The purpose of this middleware is to handle the distribution of collected assets, which are stored under the configured assets root ([`assets.root`](../../development/reference/settings.md#root) setting). The assumption is that these assets have been "collected" using the [`collectassets`](../../development/reference/management-commands.md#collectassets) management command and that the file system storage ([`Marten::Core::Storage::FileSystem`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Core/Storage/FileSystem.html)) is being used.
+
+Additionally, the [`assets.url`](../../development/reference/settings.md#url) setting must either align with the domain of your Marten application or correspond to a relative URL path, such as `/assets/`. This ensures proper mapping and accessibility of the assets within your application (so that they can be served by this middleware).
+
+It is important to mention that this middleware automatically applies compression to the served assets, utilizing GZip or deflate based on the Accept-Encoding header of the incoming request. Additionally, the middleware sets the Cache-Control header and defines a max-age of 3600 seconds, ensuring efficient caching of the assets.
+
+:::info
+This middleware should be placed at the first position in the [`middleware`](../../development/reference/settings.md#middleware) setting (ie. before all other configured middlewares).
+:::
+
+:::tip
+This middleware is provided to make it easy to serve assets in situations where you can't easily configure a web server such as [Nginx](https://nginx.org) or a third-party service (like Amazon's S3 or GCS) to serve your assets directly.

+## Content-Security-Policy middleware
+
+**Class:** [`Marten::Middleware::ContentSecurityPolicy`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Middleware/ContentSecurityPolicy.html)
+
+This middleware guarantees the presence of the Content-Security-Policy header in the response's headers. This header provides clients with the ability to limit the allowed sources of different types of content.
+
+By default, the middleware will include a Content-Security-Policy header that corresponds to the policy defined in the [`content_security_policy`](../../development/reference/settings.md#content-security-policy-settings) settings. However, if a [`Marten::HTTP::ContentSecurityPolicy`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/HTTP/ContentSecurityPolicy.html) object is explicitly assigned to the request object, it will take precedence over the default policy and be used instead.

+## How Marten resolves the current locale
+
+Marten will attempt to determine the "current" locale for activation only when the [I18n middleware](../handlers-and-http/reference/middlewares.md#i18n-middleware) is used.
+
+This middleware can activate the appropriate locale by considering the following:
+
+* The value of the Accept-Language header.
+* The value of a cookie, with its name defined by the [`i18n.locale_cookie_name`](../development/reference/settings.md#locale_cookie_name) setting.
+
+
+The [I18n middleware](../handlers-and-http/reference/middlewares.md#i18n-middleware) only allows activation of explicitly configured locales, which are specified in the [`i18n.available_locales`](../development/reference/settings.md#available_locales) and [`i18n.default_locale`](../development/reference/settings.md#default_locale) settings. If the incoming locale is not found in the project configuration, the default locale will be used instead. By utilizing this middleware, you can be sure that the right locale is automatically enabled for your users, so that you don't need to take care of it.

## Limitations
It's important to be aware of a few limitations when working with translations powered by [Crystal I18n](https://crystal-i18n.github.io/) within a Marten project:

+### Abstract model inheritance
You can define abstract model classes by leveraging [Crystal's abstract type mechanism](https://crystal-lang.org/reference/syntax_and_semantics/virtual_and_abstract_types.html). Doing so allows to easily reuse model field definitions, table properties, and custom logics within child models. In this situation, the parent's model does not contribute any table to the considered database.
@@ -389,6 +427,54 @@ end
The `Student` model will have four model fields in total (`id`, `name`, `email`, and `grade`). Moreover, all the methods of the parent model fields will be available on the child model. It should be noted that in this case the `Person` model cannot be used like a regular model: for example, trying to query records will return an error since no table is actually associated with the abstract model. Since it is an [abstract type](https://crystal-lang.org/reference/syntax_and_semantics/virtual_and_abstract_types.html), the `Student` class can't be instantiated either.
+### Multi table inheritance
+
+Marten also supports another form of model inheritance, where each model in the hierarchy is a concrete model (i.e., a model that is not abstract). In this situation, each model can be used/queried individually and has its own associated database. The framework upholds "links" between each model that uses multi table inheritance and its parent models in order to ensure that the relational structure and inheritance hierarchy are accurately maintained.
+
+For example, let's consider the following models:
+
+```crystal
+class Person < Marten::Model
+ field :id, :big_int, primary_key: true, auto: true
+ field :first_name, :string, max_size: 100
+ field :last_name, :string, max_size: 100
+end
+
+class Employee < Person
+ field :company_name, :string, max_size: 100
+end
+```
+
+All the fields defined in the `Person` model will be accessible when interacting with records of the `Employee` model, despite the fact that the data itself is stored in distinct tables. This means that it will be possible to filter `Employee` records using fields defined in the `Person` model, and to interact with the corresponding attributes when manipulating the obtained model instances:
+
+```crystal
+employee = Employee.filter(first_name: "John").first!
+employee.first_name # => "John"
+```
+
+Initializing or creating `Employee` records will also work as you would expect if all the fields were defined in the `Employee` model class:
+
+```crystal
+employee = Employee.create!(
+ first_name: "John",
+ last_name: "Doe",
+ company_name: "Super org"
+)
+```
+
+Additionaly, it's important to note that attempting to filter or retrieve `Person` records will return `Person` instances. When manipulating a parent model instance, it is possible to get a child model record by calling the `#` method - with `child_model` being the downcased version of the child model name. For example:
+
+```crystal
+person = Person.filter(first_name: "John").first!
+person.employee # => #
+```
+
+You should note that if the `Person` record is not an employee, then calling `#employee` will return `nil`.
+
+:::note
+It's important to note that when retrieving and filtering model records that utilize multi-table inheritance (such as child model records), there will be added join operations within the underlying SQL queries. These joins are necessary to assemble the complete data from various related tables, potentially affecting the overall query performance.

## Callbacks
It is possible to define callbacks in your model in order to bind methods and logics to specific events in the life cycle of your model records. For example, it is possible to define callbacks that run before a record gets created, or before it is destroyed.

Migration dependencies are used to ensure that changes to a database are applied in the right order. For example, the previous migration is part of the `main` app and depends on two other migrations: first, it depends on the previous migration of the `main` app (`202203131604261_add_content_to_main_article_table`). Secondly, it depends on the `202203131607261_create_users_user_table` migration of the `users` app. This makes sense considering that the migration's only operation is adding an `author_id` foreign key targetting the `users_user` table to the `main_article` table: the dependency instructs Marten to first apply the `202203131607261_create_users_user_table` migration (which creates the `users_user` table) before applying the migration adding the new foreign key (since this foreign key requires the targetted table to exist first in order to be created properly).

+title: Performing raw SQL queries
+description: Learn how to perform raw SQL queries.
+sidebar_label: Raw SQL
+---
+
+Marten gives you the ability to execute raw SQL if the capabilities provided by [query sets](./queries.md) are not sufficient for the task at hand. When doing so, multiple solutions can be considered: you can either decide to perform raw queries that are mapped to actual model instances, or you can execute entirely custom SQL statements.
+
+## Performing raw queries
+
+It is possible to perform raw SQL queries and expect to have the corresponding records mapped to actual model instances. This is possible by using the [`#raw`](./reference/query-set.md#raw) query set method.
+
+For example, the following snippet would allow iterating over all the `Article` model records (by assuming that the corresponding database table is the `main_article` one):
+
+```crystal
+Article.raw("select * from main_article").each do |article|
+ # Do something with `article` record
+end
+```
+
+:::tip
+You need to know the name of the model table you are targetting to use the [`#raw`](./reference/query-set.md#raw) query set method. Unless you have explicitly overridden this name by using the [`#db_table`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/DB/Model/Table/ClassMethods.html#db_table(db_table%3AString|Symbol)-instance-method) class method, the name of the model table is automatically generated by Marten using the following format: `_` (`model_name` being the underscore version of the model class name).
+:::
+
+It should be noted that you can also "inject" parameters into your SQL query. To do so you have two options: either you specify these parameters as positional arguments, or you specify them as named arguments. Positional parameters must be specified using the `?` syntax while named parameters must be specified using the `:param` format.
+
+For example, the following query uses positional parameters:
+
+```crystal
+Article.raw("SELECT * FROM articles WHERE title = ? and created_at > ?", "Hello World!", "2022-10-30")
+```
+
+And the following one uses named parameters:
+
+```crystal
+Article.raw(
+ "SELECT * FROM articles WHERE title = :title and created_at > :created_at",
+ title: "Hello World!",
+ created_at: "2022-10-30"
+)
+```
+
+:::caution
+**Do not use string interpolations in your SQL queries!**
+
+You should never use string interpolations in your raw SQL queries as this would expose your code to SQL injection attacks (where attackers can inject and execute arbitrary SQL into your database).
+
+As such, never - ever - do something like that:
+
+```crystal
+Article.raw("SELECT * FROM articles WHERE title = '#{title}'")
+```
+
+And instead, do something like that:
+
+```crystal
+Article.raw("SELECT * FROM articles WHERE title = ?", title)
+```
+
+Also, note that the parameters are left **unquoted** in the raw SQL queries: this is very important as not doing it would expose your code to SQL injection vulnerabilities as well. Parameters are quoted automatically by the underlying database backend.
+:::
+
+Finally, it should be noted that Marten does not validate the SQL queries you specify to the [`#raw`](./reference/query-set.md#raw) query set method. It is the developer's responsibility to ensure that these queries are (i) valid and (ii) that they return records that correspond to the considered model.
+
+## Executing other SQL statements
+
+If it is necessary to execute other SQL statements that don't fall into the scope of what's provided by the [`#raw`](./reference/query-set.md#raw) query set method, then it's possible to rely on the low-level DB connection capabilities.
+
+Marten's DB connections are essentially wrappers around DB connections provided by the [crystal-db](https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal-db) package. They can be opened, which allows you to essentially execute any query on the considered database.
+
+For example, the following snippet would open a connection to the default database and execute a simple query:
+
+```crystal
+Marten::DB::Connection.default.open do |db|
+ db.scalar("SELECT 1")
+end
+```
+
+:::tip
+If you are using multiple databases and need to execute SQL statements on a database that is not the default one, then you can retrieve the considered DB connection object by using the [`Marten::DB::Connection#get`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/DB/Connection.html#get(db_alias%3AString|Symbol)-class-method) method. This method simply requires an argument corresponding to the DB alias you want to retrieve (ie. the alias you assigned to the database in the [databases configuration](../development/reference/settings.md#database-settings)) and returns the corresponding DB connection:
+
+```crystal
+db = Marten::DB::Connection.get(:other_db)
+
+db.open do |db|
+ db.scalar("SELECT 1")
+end
+```
+:::
+
+The [`#open`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/DB/Connection/Base.html#open(%26)-instance-method) method allows opening a connection to the considered database, which you can then use to perform queries. This method leverages Crystal's [DB opening mechanism](https://crystal-lang.org/reference/database/index.html#open-database) and it returns the same DB connection objects that you would get if you were using `DB#open` directly:
+
+```crystal
+Marten::DB::Connection.default.open do |db|
+ db.exec "create table contacts (name varchar(30), age int)"
+end
+```
+
+Please refer to [Crystal's official documentation on interacting with databases](https://crystal-lang.org/reference/database/index.html) to learn more about this low-level API.

+title: Table options
+description: Table options reference.
+---
+
+This page provides a reference for all the table options that can be leveraged when defining models.
+
+## Table name
+
+Table names for models are automatically generated from the model name and the label of the associated application. That being said, it is possible to specifically override the name of a model table by leveraging the [`#db_table`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/DB/Model/Table/ClassMethods.html#db_table(db_table%3AString|Symbol)-instance-method) class method, which requires a table name string or symbol.
+
+For example:
+
+```crystal
+class Article < Marten::Model
+ field :id, :big_int, primary_key: true, auto: true
+ field :title, :string, max_size: 255
+ field :content, :text
+
+// highlight-next-line
+ db_table :articles
+end
+```
+
+## Table indexes
+
+Multifields indexes can be configured in a model by leveraging the [`#db_index`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/DB/Model/Table/ClassMethods.html#db_index(name%3AString|Symbol%2Cfield_names%3AArray(String)|Array(Symbol))%3ANil-instance-method) class method. This method requires an index name argument as well as an array of targeted field names.
+
+For example:
+
+```crystal
+class Person < Marten::Model
+ field :id, :int, primary_key: true, auto: true
+ field :first_name, :string, max_size: 50
+ field :last_name, :string, max_size: 50
+
+// highlight-next-line
+ db_index :person_full_name_index, field_names: [:first_name, :last_name]
+end
+```
+
+## Table unique constraints
+
+Multifields unique constraints can be configured in a model by leveraging the [`#db_unique_constraint`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/DB/Model/Table/ClassMethods.html#db_unique_constraint(name%3AString|Symbol%2Cfield_names%3AArray(String)|Array(Symbol))%3ANil-instance-method) class method.

+title: Relationships
+description: Learn how to define relationships in models.
+---
+
+Marten offers a powerful and intuitive solution for defining the three most common types of database relationships (many-to-one, one-to-one, and many-to-many) through the use of [model fields](./introduction.md#model-fields). By leveraging these special fields, developers can enhance their application's data modeling and streamline data access.
+
+## Many-to-one relationships
+
+Many-to-one relationships can be defined through the use of [`many_to_one`](./reference/fields.md#many_to_one) fields. This special field type requires the utilization of the [`to`](./reference/fields.md#to-1) argument, allowing to explicitly define the target model class associated with the current model.
+
+For example, an `Article` model could have a many-to-one field towards an `Author` model. In such case, an `Article` record would only have one associated `Author` record, but every `Author` record could be associated with many `Article` records:
+
+```crystal
+class Author < Marten::Model
+ field :id, :big_int, primary_key: true, auto: true
+ field :full_name, :string, max_size: 128
+end
+
+class Article < Marten::Model
+ field :id, :big_int, primary_key: true, auto: true
+ field :title, :string, max_size: 128
+ // highlight-next-line
+ field :author, :many_to_one, to: Author
+end
+```
+
+### Interacting with related records
+
+Like for any other [model fields](./introduction.md#model-fields), Marten automatically generates getters and setters allowing to interact with the field's value.
+
+With the above snippet, it would be possible to access the `Author` record associated with a specific `Article` record by leveraging the `#author` and `#author=` methods. For example:
+
+```crystal
+# Create two authors
+author_1 = Author.create!(full_name: "Foo Bar")
+author_2 = Author.create!(full_name: "John Doe")
+
+# Create an article
+article = Article.create!(title: "First article", author: author_1)
+article.author!.id # => 1
+article.author # => #
+
+# Change the article author
+article.author = author_2
+article.save!
+article.author!.id # => 2
+article.author # => #
+```
+
+:::tip
+Note that you can also access the related record's ID directly without actually loading it by leveraging the `#_id` method (which corresponds to the actual name of the column used to persist the reference to the related record's primary key in the model table).
+
+For instance, using the model definitions provided earlier, you could perform the following operation:
+
+```crystal
+author = Author.create!(full_name: "Foo Bar")
+article = Article.create!(title: "First article", author: author)
+article.author_id # => 1
+```
+:::
+
+### Backward relations
+
+By default, [`many_to_one`](./reference/fields.md#many_to_one) fields do not establish a backward relation. This means that you cannot directly retrieve records that target a specific related record starting from the related record itself. For instance, by default, it is not possible to retrieve all the `Article` records associated with a specific `Author` record.
+
+To enable this capability, you need to make use of the [`related`](./reference/fields.md#related-1) argument when defining your [`many_to_one`](./reference/fields.md#many_to_one) field. For instance, we could modify the previous model definitions as follows in order to define an `articles` backward relation and to let `Author` records expose their related `Article` records:
+
+```crystal
+class Author < Marten::Model
+ field :id, :big_int, primary_key: true, auto: true
+ field :full_name, :string, max_size: 128
+end
+
+class Article < Marten::Model
+ field :id, :big_int, primary_key: true, auto: true
+ field :title, :string, max_size: 128
+ // highlight-next-line
+ field :author, :many_to_one, to: Author, related: :articles
+end
+```
+
+When the [`related`](./reference/fields.md#related-1) argument is used, a method will be automatically created on the targetted model by using the chosen argument's value. For example, this means that all the `Article` records associated with a specific `Author` record will be accessible through the use of the `Author#articles` method:
+
+```crystal
+# Create two authors
+author_1 = Author.create!(full_name: "Foo Bar")
+author_2 = Author.create!(full_name: "John Doe")
+
+# Create articles
+article_1 = Article.create!(title: "First article", author: author_1)
+article_2 = Article.create!(title: "Second article", author: author_2)
+article_3 = Article.create!(title: "Third article", author: author_1)
+
+# List the first author's articles
+author_1.articles.to_a # [#,
+ # #]
+```
+
+:::tip
+The method generated for the backward relation returns a [query set](./queries.md) that you can use to further filter the list of records. For example:
+
+```crystal
+author.articles.filter(title__startswith: "Top")
+```
+:::
+
+### Deletion strategy
+
+When defining [`many_to_one`](./reference/fields.md#many_to_one) fields, it is highly advisable to specify a deletion strategy for the associated relation. This configuration determines the behavior of records with many-to-one fields when one of the records referred to by such fields gets deleted.
+
+Such behavior can be configured by leveraging the [`on_delete`](./reference/fields.md#on_delete) argument when defining [`many_to_one`](./reference/fields.md#many_to_one) fields. This argument allows specifying the deletion strategy to adopt when a related record (one that is targeted by the [`many_to_one`](./reference/fields.md#many_to_one) field) is deleted. This argument accepts the following values (expressed as symbols):
+
+* `:do_nothing`: This is the default strategy. With this strategy, Marten won't do anything to ensure that records referencing the record being deleted are deleted or updated. If the database enforces referential integrity (which will be the case for foreign key fields), this means that deleting a record could result in database errors.
+* `:cascade`: This strategy can be used to perform cascade deletions. When deleting a record, Marten will try to first destroy the other records that reference the object being deleted.
+* `:protect`: This strategy allows explicitly preventing the deletion of records if they are referenced by other records. This means that attempting to delete a "protected" record will result in a `Marten::DB::Errors::ProtectedRecord` error.
+* `:set_null`: This strategy will set the reference column to `null` when the related record is deleted.
+
+For example, we could modify our previous model definition so that `Article` records are cascade-deleted if the associated `Author` records are destroyed:
+
+```crystal
+class Author < Marten::Model
+ field :id, :big_int, primary_key: true, auto: true
+ field :full_name, :string, max_size: 128
+end
+
+class Article < Marten::Model
+ field :id, :big_int, primary_key: true, auto: true
+ field :title, :string, max_size: 128
+ // highlight-next-line
+ field :author, :many_to_one, to: Author, related: :articles, on_delete: :cascade
+end
+```
+
+With this change, if we try to delete an `Author` record, we should notice that the associated `Article` records are deleted as well:
+
+```crystal
+# Create two authors
+author_1 = Author.create!(full_name: "Foo Bar")
+author_2 = Author.create!(full_name: "John Doe")
+
+# Create articles
+article_1 = Article.create!(title: "First article", author: author_1)
+article_2 = Article.create!(title: "Second article", author: author_2)
+article_3 = Article.create!(title: "Third article", author: author_1)
+
+# Delete the first author
+author_1.delete
+
+article_1.reload # => raises Marten::DB::Errors::RecordNotFound
+```
+
+## One-to-one relationships

+One-to-one relationships can be defined through the use of [`one_to_one`](./reference/fields.md#one_to_one) fields. This special field type requires the utilization of the [`to`](./reference/fields.md#to-2) argument, allowing to explicitly define the target model class associated with the current model.
+
+For example, a `User` model could have a one-to-one field towards a `Profile` model. In such case, the `User` model could only have one associated `Profile` record, and the reverse would be true as well (a `Profile` record could only have one associated `User` record):
+
+```crystal
+class Profile < Marten::Model
+ field :id, :big_int, primary_key: true, auto: true
+ field :full_name, :string, max_size: 128
+end
+
+class User < Marten::Model
+ field :id, :big_int, primary_key: true, auto: true
+ field :email, :email
+ // highlight-next-line
+ field :profile, :one_to_one, to: Profile
+end
+```
+
+:::info
+A one-to-one field is really similar to a many-to-one field, but with an additional unicity constraint.
+:::
+
+### Interacting with related records
+
+Like for any other [model fields](./introduction.md#model-fields), Marten automatically generates getters and setters allowing to interact with the field's value.
+
+With the above snippet, it would be possible to access the `Profile` record associated with a specific `User` record by leveraging the `#profile` and `#profile=` methods. For example:
+
+```crystal
+# Create two users
+user_1 = User.create!(email: "test1@example.com", profile: Profile.create!(full_name: "Foo Bar"))
+user_2 = User.create!(email: "test2@example.com", profile: Profile.create!(full_name: "John Doe"))
+
+# Access a user's profile
+user_1.profile!.id # => 1
+user_1.profile # => #
+
+# Change a user's profile
+user_1.profile = Profile.create!(full_name: "New Profile")
+user_1.save!
+user_1.profile!.id # => 3
+user_1.profile # => #
+```
+
+:::tip
+Like for [many-to-one relationships](#many-to-one-relationships), you can also access the related record's ID directly without actually loading it by leveraging the `#_id` method (which corresponds to the actual name of the column used to persist the reference to the related record's primary key in the model table).
+
+For instance, using the model definitions provided earlier, you could perform the following operation:
+
+```crystal
+user = User.create!(email: "test1@example.com", profile: Profile.create!(full_name: "Foo Bar"))
+user.profile_id # => 1
+```
+:::
+
+### Backward relations
+
+By default, [`one_to_one`](./reference/fields.md#one_to_one) fields do not establish a backward relation. This means that you cannot directly retrieve the record that targets a specific related record starting from the related record itself. For instance, by default, it is not possible to retrieve the `User` record associated with a specific `Profile` record.
+
+To enable this capability, you need to make use of the [`related`](./reference/fields.md#related-2) argument when defining your [`one_to_one`](./reference/fields.md#one_to_one) field. For instance, we could modify the previous model definitions as follows in order to define a `user` backward relation and to let `Profile` records expose their related `User` record:
+
+```crystal
+class Profile < Marten::Model
+ field :id, :big_int, primary_key: true, auto: true
+ field :full_name, :string, max_size: 128
+end
+
+class User < Marten::Model
+ field :id, :big_int, primary_key: true, auto: true
+ field :email, :email
+ // highlight-next-line
+ field :profile, :one_to_one, to: Profile, related: :user
+end
+```
+
+When the [`related`](./reference/fields.md#related-2) argument is used, a method will be automatically created on the targetted model by using the chosen argument's value. For example, this means that the `User` record associated with a specific `Profile` record will be accessible through the use of the `Profile#user` method:
+
+```crystal
+# Create two profiles
+profile_1 = Profile.create!(full_name: "Foo Bar")
+profile_2 = Profile.create!(full_name: "John Doe")
+
+# Create two users
+user_1 = User.create!(email: "test1@example.com", profile: profile_1)
+user_2 = User.create!(email: "test2@example.com", profile: profile_2)
+
+# Get the first profile's user
+profile_1.user # => #
+```
+
+:::tip
+Note that in the previous example, `#user` could return `nil` if no `User` record is available for the considered profile. A nil-safe version of the related method is also automatically defined with the following name: `#!`. For example:
+
+```crystal
+# Create two profiles
+profile_1 = Profile.create!(full_name: "Foo Bar")
+profile_2 = Profile.create!(full_name: "John Doe")
+
+# Create two users
+user_1 = User.create!(email: "test1@example.com", profile: profile_1)
+user_2 = User.create!(email: "test2@example.com", profile: profile_2)
+
+# Delete the first user
+user_1.delete
+
+# Get the first profile's user
+profile_1.user! # => raises Marten::DB::Errors::RecordNotFound
+```
+:::
+
+### Deletion strategy
+
+Like for [many-to-one relationships](#deletion-strategy), the deletion strategy to use for [`one_to_one`](./reference/fields.md#one_to_one) fields can be configured by leveraging the [`on_delete`](./reference/fields.md#on_delete-1) argument. This argument allows specifying the deletion strategy to adopt when a related record (one that is targeted by the [`many_to_one`](./reference/fields.md#many_to_one) field) is deleted. This argument accepts the following values (expressed as symbols):
+
+* `:do_nothing`: This is the default strategy. With this strategy, Marten won't do anything to ensure that the record referencing the record being deleted is deleted or updated. If the database enforces referential integrity (which will be the case for foreign key fields), this means that deleting a record could result in database errors.
+* `:cascade`: This strategy can be used to perform cascade deletions. When deleting a record, Marten will try to first destroy the other record that references the object being deleted.
+* `:protect`: This strategy allows explicitly preventing the deletion of the record if is is referenced by another record. This means that attempting to delete a "protected" record will result in a `Marten::DB::Errors::ProtectedRecord` error.
+* `:set_null`: This strategy will set the reference column to `null` when the related record is deleted.
+
+For example, we could modify our previous model definition so that a `User` record is cascade-deleted if the associated `Profile` records is destroyed:
+
+```crystal
+class Profile < Marten::Model
+ field :id, :big_int, primary_key: true, auto: true
+ field :full_name, :string, max_size: 128
+end
+
+class User < Marten::Model
+ field :id, :big_int, primary_key: true, auto: true
+ field :email, :email
+ // highlight-next-line
+ field :profile, :one_to_one, to: Profile, related: :user, on_delete: :cascade
+end
+```
+
+With this change, if we try to delete a `Profile` record, we should notice that the associated `User` records is deleted as well:
+
+```crystal
+# Create two profiles
+profile_1 = Profile.create!(full_name: "Foo Bar")
+profile_2 = Profile.create!(full_name: "John Doe")
+
+# Create two users
+user_1 = User.create!(email: "test1@example.com", profile: profile_1)
+user_2 = User.create!(email: "test2@example.com", profile: profile_2)
+
+# Delete the first profile
+profile_1.delete
+
+user_1.reload # => raises Marten::DB::Errors::RecordNotFound
+```
+
+## Many-to-many relationships
+
+Many-to-many relationships can be defined through the use of [`many_to_many`](./reference/fields.md#many_to_many) fields. This special field type requires the utilization of the [`to`](./reference/fields.md#to) argument, allowing to explicitly define the target model class associated with the current model.
+
+For example, an `Article` model could have a many-to-many field towards a `Tag` model. In such case, an `Article` record could have many associated `Tag` records, and every `Tag` record could be associated with many `Article` records as well:
+
+```crystal
+class Tag < Marten::Model
+ field :id, :big_int, primary_key: true, auto: true
+ field :label, :string, max_size: 128
+end
+
+class Article < Marten::Model
+ field :id, :big_int, primary_key: true, auto: true
+ field :title, :string, max_size: 128
+ // highlight-next-line
+ field :tags, :many_to_many, to: Tag
+end
+```
+
+### Interacting with related records
+
+[`many_to_many`](./reference/fields.md#many_to_many) fields exhibit unique characteristics compared to other relationship fields. When using [`many_to_many`](./reference/fields.md#many_to_many) fields in Marten, the framework generates a `#` getter method that returns a specialized [query set](./queries.md) that not only enables filtering of targeted records but also facilitates the dynamic addition and removal of records to/from the set.
+
+With the above snippet, it would be possible to access the `Tags` records associated with a specific `Article` record by leveraging the `#tags` method. For example:
+
+```crystal
+# Create three tags
+tag_1 = Tag.create!(label: "Tag 1")
+tag_2 = Tag.create!(label: "Tag 2")
+tag_3 = Tag.create!(label: "Tag 3")
+
+# Create one article
+article = Article.create!(title: "My article")
+
+# Add one tag to the article
+article.tags.add(tag_1)
+article.tags.to_a # => [#]
+
+# Add two tags to the article
+article.tags.add(tag_2, tag_3)
+article.tags.to_a # => [#,
+ # #,
+ # #]
+
+# Filter the article's tags
+article.tags.filter(label: "Tag 1").to_a # => [#]
+
+# Remove a tag from the article's tags
+article.tags.remove(tag_2)
+article.tags.to_a # => [#,
+ # #]
+
+# Clear the article's tags
+article.tags.clear
+```
+
+Take note of the utilization of the [`#add`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/DB/Query/ManyToManySet.html#add(*objs%3AM)-instance-method) and [`#remove`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/DB/Query/ManyToManySet.html#remove(*objs%3AM)%3ANil-instance-method) methods, facilitating the addition or removal of objects from the record's many-to-many collection of associated items. These methods are callable with single or multiple records as parameters, as well as with arrays of records for streamlined addition or removal.
+
+### Backward relations
+
+By default, [`many_to_many`](./reference/fields.md#many_to_many) fields do not establish a backward relation. This means that you cannot directly retrieve records that target a specific related record starting from the related record itself. For instance, by default, it is not possible to retrieve all the `Article` records associated with a specific `Tag` record.
+
+To enable this capability, you need to make use of the [`related`](./reference/fields.md#related-1) argument when defining your [`many_to_many`](./reference/fields.md#many_to_many) field. For instance, we could modify the previous model definitions as follows in order to define an `articles` backward relation and to let `Tag` records expose their related `Article` records:
+
+```crystal
+class Tag < Marten::Model
+ field :id, :big_int, primary_key: true, auto: true
+ field :label, :string, max_size: 128
+end
+
+class Article < Marten::Model
+ field :id, :big_int, primary_key: true, auto: true
+ field :title, :string, max_size: 128
+ // highlight-next-line
+ field :tags, :many_to_many, to: Tag, related: :articles
+end
+```
+
+When the [`related`](./reference/fields.md#related) argument is used, a method will be automatically created on the targetted model by using the chosen argument's value. For example, this means that all the `Article` records associated with a specific `Tag` record will be accessible through the use of the `Tag#articles` method:
+
+```crystal
+# Create three tags
+tag_1 = Tag.create!(label: "Tag 1")
+tag_2 = Tag.create!(label: "Tag 2")
+tag_3 = Tag.create!(label: "Tag 3")
+
+# Create two articles
+article_1 = Article.create!(title: "First article")
+article_2 = Article.create!(title: "Second article")
+
+# Add tags to the articles
+article_1.tags.add(tag_1, tag_2)
+article_2.tags.add(tag_2, tag_3)
+
+# Retrieve the second tag's articles
+tag_2.articles.to_a # => [#,
+ # #]
+tag_2.articles.filter(title: "First article").to_a # => [#]
+```
+
+## Advanced topics
+
+### Recursive relationships
+
+All the relationship fields mentioned previously support defining recursive relations, ie. relations that target the same model as the model defining the relation field. To do so, you can define a [`many_to_one`](./reference/fields.md#many_to_one), [`one_to_one`](./reference/fields.md#one_to_one), or [`many_to_many`](./reference/fields.md#many_to_many) field whose `to` argument is set to the `self` keyword.
+
+For example:
+
+```crystal
+class TreeNode < Marten::Model
+ field :id, :big_int, primary_key: true, auto: true
+ field :label, :string, max_size: 128
+ // highlight-next-line
+ field :parent, :many_to_one, to: self
+end
+```
+
+In the above snippet, the `TreeNode` model will have a relation to itself through the `parent` field.

Basic model operations such as [creating](./introduction.md#create), [updating](./introduction.md#update), or [deleting](./introduction.md#delete) records are automatically wrapped in a transaction. This helps in ensuring that any exception that is raised in the context of validations or as part of `after_*` [callbacks](./callbacks.md) (ie. `after_create`, `after_update`, `after_save`, and `after_delete`) will also roll back the current transaction.
+The consequence of this is that the changes you make to the database in these callbacks will not be "visible" until the transaction is complete. For example, this means that if you are triggering something (like an asynchronous job) that needs to leverage the changes introduced by a model operation, then you should probably not use the regular `after_*` callbacks. Instead, you should leverage [`after_commit`](./callbacks.md#aftercommit) callbacks (which are the only callbacks that are triggered _after_ a model operation has been committed to the database).

As mentioned before, any exception that is raised from within a transaction block will result in the considered transaction being rolled back.

It describes the logical structure of this data, what are its expected characteristics, and what are the rules to use in order to identify whether it is valid or not. Schemas classes must inherit from the [`Marten::Schema`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Schema.html) base class and they must define "fields" through the use of a `field` macro. These fields allow to define what data is expected by the schema, and how it is validated.

Let's break it down a bit more:

-* when the incoming request is a `POST`, it will initialize the schema and try to see if it is valid considering the incoming data (using the `#valid?` method). If it's valid, then a new `Article` record will be created using the schema's validated data (`#validated_data`), and the user will be redirect to a home page.

Please head over to the [Schema validations](./validations.md) guide in order to learn more about schema validations and how to customize it.
+## Accessing validated data
+
+After performing [schema validations](#validations) (ie. after calling [`#valid?`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Core/Validation.html#valid%3F(context%3ANil|String|Symbol%3Dnil)-instance-method) or [`#invalid?`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Core/Validation.html#invalid%3F(context%3ANil|String|Symbol%3Dnil)-instance-method) on a schema object), accessing the validated data is often necessary. For instance, you may need to persist the validated data as part of a model record. To achieve this, you can make use of the [`#validated_data`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Schema.html#validated_data%3AHash(String%2CBool|Float64|Int64|JSON%3A%3AAny|JSON%3A%3ASerializable|Marten%3A%3AHTTP%3A%3AUploadedFile|String|Time|Time%3A%3ASpan|UUID|Nil)-instance-method) method, which is accessible in all schema instances.
+
+This method provides access to a hash that contains the deserialized and validated field values of the schema. For instance, let's consider the example of the `ArticleSchema` schema [mentioned earlier](#the-schema-class):
+
+```crystal
+schema = ArticleSchema.new(Marten::Schema::DataHash{"title" => "Test article", "content" => "Test content"})
+schema.valid? # => true
+
+schema.validated_data["title"] # => "Test article"
+schema.validated_data["content"] # => "Test content"
+```
+
+It is important to note that accessing values using [`#validated_data`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Schema.html#validated_data%3AHash(String%2CBool|Float64|Int64|JSON%3A%3AAny|JSON%3A%3ASerializable|Marten%3A%3AHTTP%3A%3AUploadedFile|String|Time|Time%3A%3ASpan|UUID|Nil)-instance-method) as shown in the above example is not type-safe. The [`#validated_data`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Schema.html#validated_data%3AHash(String%2CBool|Float64|Int64|JSON%3A%3AAny|JSON%3A%3ASerializable|Marten%3A%3AHTTP%3A%3AUploadedFile|String|Time|Time%3A%3ASpan|UUID|Nil)-instance-method) hash can return any supported schema field values, and as a result, you may need to utilize the [`#as`](https://crystal-lang.org/reference/syntax_and_semantics/as.html) pseudo-method to handle the fetched validated data appropriately, depending on how and where you intend to use it.
+
+To palliate this, Marten automatically defines type-safe methods that you can utilize to access your validated schema field values:
+
+* `#` returns a nillable version of the `` field value
+* `#!` returns a non-nillable version of the `` field value
+* `#?` returns a boolean indicating if the `` field has a value
+
+For example:
+
+```crystal
+schema = ArticleSchema.new(Marten::Schema::DataHash{"title" => "Test article"})
+schema.valid? # => true
+
+schema.title # => "Test article"
+schema.title! # => "Test article"
+schema.title? # => true
+
+schema.content # => nil
+schema.content! # => raises NilAssertionError
+schema.content? # => false
+```
+

+title: Schema fields
+description: Schema fields reference.
+---
+
+This page provides a reference for all the available field options and field types that can be used when defining schemas.
+
+## Common field options
+
+The following field options can be used for all the available field types when declaring schema fields using the `field` macro.
+
+### `required`
+
+The `required` argument can be used to specify whether a schema field is required or not required. The default value for this argument is `true`.
+
+## Field types
+
+### `bool`
+
+A `bool` field allows validating boolean values.
+
+### `date_time`
+
+A `date_time` field allows validating date time values. Fields using this type are converted to `Time` objects in Crystal.
+
+### `date`
+
+A `date` field allows validating date values. Fields using this type are converted to `Time` objects in Crystal.
+
+### `duration`
+
+A `duration` field allows validating duration values, which map to [`Time::Span`](https://crystal-lang.org/api/Time/Span.html) objects in Crystal. `duration` fields expect serialized values to be in the `DD.HH:MM:SS.nnnnnnnnn` format (with `n` corresponding to nanoseconds) or in the [ISO 8601](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Durations) format (eg. `P3DT2H15M20S`, which corresponds to a `3.2:15:20` time span).
+
+### `email`
+
+An `email` field allows validating email address values. In addition to the [common field options](#common-field-options), such fields support the following arguments:
+
+#### `max_size`
+
+The `max_size` argument allows defining the maximum size allowed for the email address string. The default value for this argument is `254` (in accordance with RFCs 3696 and 5321).
+
+#### `min_size`
+
+The `min_size` argument allows defining the minimum size allowed for the email address string. The default value for this argument is `nil`, which means that the minimum size is not validated by default.
+
+#### `strip`
+
+The `strip` argument allows defining whether the string value should be stripped of leading and trailing whitespaces. The default is `true`.
+
+### `file`
+
+A `file` field allows validating uploaded files. In addition to the [common field options](#common-field-options), such fields support the following arguments:
+
+#### `allow_empty_files`
+
+The `allow_empty_files` argument allows defining whether empty files are allowed or not when files are validated. The default value is `false`.
+
+#### `max_name_size`
+
+The `max_name_size` argument allows defining the maximum file name size allowed. The default value is `nil`, which means that uploaded file name sizes are not validated.
+
+### `float`
+
+A `float` field allows validating float values. Fields using this type are converted to `Float64` objects in Crystal. In addition to the [common field options](#common-field-options), such fields support the following arguments:
+
+#### `max_value`
+
+The `max_value` argument allows defining the maximum value allowed. The default value for this argument is `nil`, which means that the maximum value is not validated by default.
+
+#### `min_value`
+
+The `min_value` argument allows defining the minimum value allowed. The default value for this argument is `nil`, which means that the minimum value is not validated by default.
+
+### `int`
+
+An `int` field allows validating integer values. Fields using this type are converted to `Int64` objects in Crystal. In addition to the [common field options](#common-field-options), such fields support the following arguments:
+
+#### `max_value`
+
+The `max_value` argument allows defining the maximum value allowed. The default value for this argument is `nil`, which means that the maximum value is not validated by default.
+
+#### `min_value`
+
+The `min_value` argument allows defining the minimum value allowed. The default value for this argument is `nil`, which means that the minimum value is not validated by default.
+
+### `json`
+
+A `json` field allows validating JSON values, which are automatically parsed to [`JSON::Any`](https://crystal-lang.org/api/JSON/Any.html) objects. Additionally, it is also possible to leverage the [`serializable`](#serializable) option in order to specify a class that makes use of [`JSON::Serializable`](https://crystal-lang.org/api/JSON/Serializable.html). When doing so, the parsing of the JSON values will result in the initialization of the corresponding serializable objects:
+
+```crystal
+class MySerializable
+ include JSON::Serializable
+
+ property a : Int32 | Nil
+ property b : String | Nil
+end
+
+class MySchema < Marten::Schema
+ # Other fields...
+ field :metadata, :json, serializable: MySerializable
+end
+
+schema = MySchema.new(Marten::Schema::DataHash{"metadata" => %{{"a": 42, "b": "foo"}}})
+schema.valid? # => true
+schema.metadata! # => MySerializable object
+```
+
+#### `serializable`
+
+The `serializable` arguments allows to specify that a class making use of [`JSON::Serializable`](https://crystal-lang.org/api/JSON/Serializable.html) should be used in order to parse the JSON values for the schema field at hand. When specifying a `serializable` class, the values returned for the considered schema fields will be instances of that class instead of [`JSON::Any`](https://crystal-lang.org/api/JSON/Any.html) objects.
+
+### `slug`
+
+A `slug` field allows validating slug values (ie. strings that can only include characters, numbers, dashes, and underscores). In addition to the [common field options](#common-field-options), such fields support the following arguments:
+
+#### `max_size`
+
+The `max_size` argument allows defining the maximum size allowed for the slug string. The default value for this argument is `50`.
+
+#### `min_size`
+
+The `min_size` argument allows defining the minimum size allowed for the slug string. The default value for this argument is `nil`, which means that the minimum size is not validated by default.
+
+#### `strip`
+
+The `strip` argument allows defining whether the string value should be stripped of leading and trailing whitespaces. The default is `true`.
+
+### `string`
+
+A `string` field allows validating string values. In addition to the [common field options](#common-field-options), such fields support the following arguments:
+
+#### `max_size`
+
+The `max_size` argument allows defining the maximum size allowed for the string. The default value for this argument is `nil`, which means that the maximum size is not validated by default.
+
+#### `min_size`
+
+The `min_size` argument allows defining the minimum size allowed for the string. The default value for this argument is `nil`, which means that the minimum size is not validated by default.
+
+#### `strip`
+
+The `strip` argument allows defining whether the string value should be stripped of leading and trailing whitespaces. The default is `true`.
+
+### `uuid`
+
+A `uuid` field allows validating Universally Unique IDentifiers (UUID) values. Fields using this type are converted to `UUID` objects in Crystal.
+
+### `url`
+
+A `url` field allows validating URL address values. In addition to the [common field options](#common-field-options), such fields support the following arguments:
+
+#### `max_size`
+
+The `max_size` argument allows defining the maximum size allowed for the URL string. The default value for this argument is `200`.
+
+#### `min_size`
+
+The `min_size` argument allows defining the minimum size allowed for the URL string. The default value for this argument is `nil`, which means that the minimum size is not validated by default.
+
+#### `strip`
+
+The `strip` argument allows defining whether the string value should be stripped of leading and trailing whitespaces. The default is `true`.

+title: Content Security Policy
+description: Learn how to configure the Content-Security-Policy (CSP) header.
+---
+
+Marten offers a convenient mechanism to define the Content-Security-Policy header, which serves as a safeguard against vulnerabilities such as cross-site scripting (XSS) and injection attacks. This mechanism enables the specification of a trusted resource allowlist, enhancing security measures.
+
+## Overview
+
+The [Content-Security-Policy](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CSP) (CSP) header is a collection of guidelines that the browser follows to allow specific sources for scripts, styles, embedded content, and more. It ensures that only these approved sources are allowed while blocking all other sources.
+
+Utilizing the Content-Security-Policy header in a web application is a great way to mitigate or eliminate cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. By implementing an effective Content-Security-Policy, the inclusion of inline scripts is prevented, and only scripts from trusted sources in separate files are allowed.
+
+## Basic usage
+
+Marten's Content-Security-Policy mechanism involves using a dedicated middleware: the [Content-Security-Policy middleware](../handlers-and-http/reference/middlewares.md#content-security-policy-middleware). To ensure that your project is using this middleware, you can add the [`Marten::Middleware::ContentSecurityPolicy`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Middleware/ContentSecurityPolicy.html) class to the [`middleware`](../development/reference/settings.md#middleware) setting as follows:
+
+```crystal title="config/settings/base.cr"
+Marten.configure do |config|
+ config.middleware = [
+ // highlight-next-line
+ Marten::Middleware::ContentSecurityPolicy,
+ # Other middlewares...
+ Marten::Middleware::Session,
+ Marten::Middleware::Flash,
+ Marten::Middleware::I18n,
+ ]
+end
+```
+
+The [Content-Security-Policy middleware](../handlers-and-http/reference/middlewares.md#content-security-policy-middleware) guarantees the presence of the Content-Security-Policy header in the response's headers. By default, the middleware will include a Content-Security-Policy header that corresponds to the policy defined in the [`content_security_policy`](../development/reference/settings.md#content-security-policy-settings) settings. However, if a [`Marten::HTTP::ContentSecurityPolicy`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/HTTP/ContentSecurityPolicy.html) object is explicitly assigned to the request object, it will take precedence over the default policy and be used instead.
+
+When enabling the [Content-Security-Policy middleware](../handlers-and-http/reference/middlewares.md#content-security-policy-middleware), it is recommended to define a default Content-Security-Policy by leveraging the [`content_security_policy`](../development/reference/settings.md#content-security-policy-settings) settings. For example:
+
+```crystal title="config/settings/base.cr"
+Marten.configure do |config|
+ config.content_security_policy.default_policy.default_src = [:self, "example.com"]
+ config.content_security_policy.default_policy.script_src = [:self, :https]
+end
+```
+
+## Disabling the CSP header in specific handlers
+
+You can decide to disable or enable the use of the Content-Security-Policy header on a per-[handler](../handlers-and-http.mdx) basis. To do so, you can simply make use of the [`#exempt_from_content_security_policy`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Handlers/ContentSecurityPolicy/ClassMethods.html#exempt_from_content_security_policy(exempt:Bool):Nil-instance-method) class method, which takes a single boolean as argument:
+
+```crystal
+class ProtectedHandler < Marten::Handler
+ exempt_from_content_security_policy false
+
+ # [...]
+end
+
+class UnprotectedHandler < Marten::Handler
+ exempt_from_content_security_policy true
+
+ # [...]
+end
+```
+
+## Overriding the CSP header in specific handlers
+
+Sometimes you may also need to override the content of the Content-Security-Policy header on a per-[handler](../handlers-and-http.mdx) basis. To do so, you can make use of the [`#content_security_policy`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Handlers/ContentSecurityPolicy/ClassMethods.html#content_security_policy(%26content_security_policy_block%3AHTTP%3A%3AContentSecurityPolicy->)-instance-method) class method, which yields a [`Marten::HTTP::ContentSecurityPolicy`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/HTTP/ContentSecurityPolicy.html) object that you can configure (by adding/modifying/removing CSP directives) for the handler at hand. For example:
+
+```crystal
+class ProtectedHandler < Marten::Handler
+ content_security_policy do |csp|
+ csp.default_src = {:self, "example.com"}
+ end
+
+ # [...]
+end
+```
+
+## Using a CSP nonce
+
+CSP nonces serve as a valuable tool to enable the execution or rendering of specific elements, such as inline script or style tags, by the browser. When a tag contains the correct nonce value in a `nonce` attribute, the browser grants permission for its execution or rendering, while blocking others that lack the expected nonce value.
+
+You can configure Marten so that it automatically adds a nonce to an explicit set of Content-Security-Policy directives. This can be achieved by specifying the list of intended CSP directives in the [`content_security_policy.nonce_directives`](../development/reference/settings.md#nonce_directives) setting. For example:
+
+```crystal title="config/settings/base.cr"
+Marten.configure do |config|
+ config.content_security_policy.nonce_directives = ["script-src", "style-src"]
+end
+```
+
+For example, if this setting is set to `["script-src", "style-src"]`, a `nonce-` value will be added to the `script-src` and `style-src` directives in the Content-Security-Policy header value. The nonce is a randomly generated Base64 value (generated through the use of [`Random::Secure#urlsafe_base64`](https://crystal-lang.org/api/Random.html#urlsafe_base64(n:Int=16,padding=false):String-instance-method)).
+
+To make the browser do anything with the nonce value, you will need to include it in the attributes of the tags that you wish to mark as safe. In this light, you can use the [`Marten::HTTP::Request#content_security_policy_nonce`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/HTTP/Request.html#content_security_policy_nonce-instance-method) method, which returns the CSP nonce value for the current request. This method can also be called from within [templates](../templates.mdx), making it easy to generate `script` or `style` tags containing the right `nonce` attribute:
+
+```html

When receiving this value, Marten compares it to the token cookie value: if the tokens are not valid, or if there is a mismatch, then this means that the request is malicious and that it must be rejected (which will result in a 403 error).

SQL injection attacks happen when a malicious user is able to execute arbitrary SQL queries on a database, which usually occurs when submitting input data to a web application. This can lead to database records being leaked and/or altered.
The [query sets](../models-and-databases/queries.md) API provided by Marten generates SQL code by using query parameterization. This means that the actual code of a query is defined separately from its parameters, which ensures that any user-provided parameter is escaped by the considered database driver before the query is executed.

## Using context producers
Context producers are helpers that ensure that common variables are automatically inserted in the template context whenever a template is rendered. They are applied every time a new template context is generated.
-For example, they can be used to insert the current HTTP request object in every template context being rendered in the context of a handler and HTTP request. This makes sense considering that the HTTP request object is a common object that is likely to be used by multiple templates in your project: that way there is no need to explicitly "insert" it in the context every time you render a template. This specific capability is provided by the [`Marten::Template::ContextProducer::Request`](pathname:///api/0.1/Marten/Template/ContextProducer/Request.html) context producer, which inserts a `request` object into every template context.

+## Strict variables
+
+By default, when a template variable is unknown or undefined, Marten treats it as a `nil` value. Consequently, nothing will be displayed for such variables, and they will be evaluated as falsey in if conditions.
+
+However, it is possible to modify this behavior by enabling the [`templates.strict_variables`](../development/reference/settings.md#strict_variables) setting. When this setting is set to `true`, unknown variables encountered in templates will raise [`Marten::Template::Errors::UnknownVariable`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Template/Errors/UnknownVariable.html) exceptions.

+title: Template filters
+description: Template filters reference.
+---
+
+This page provides a reference for all the available filters that can be used when defining [templates](../introduction.md).
+
+## `capitalize`
+
+The `capitalize` filter allows to modify a string so that the first letter is converted to uppercase and all the subsequent letters are converted to lowercase.
+
+For example:
+
+```html
+{{ value|capitalize }}
+```
+
+If `value` is "marten", the output will be "Marten".
+
+## `default`
+
+The `default` filter allows to fallback to a specific value if the left side of the filter expression is empty or not truthy. A filter argument is mandatory. It should be noted that empty strings are considered truthy and will be returned by this filter.
+
+For example:
+
+```html
+{{ value|default:"foobar" }}
+```
+
+If `value` is `nil` (or `0` or `false`), the output will be "foobar".
+
+## `downcase`
+
+The `downcase` filter allows to convert a string so that each of its characters is lowercase.
+
+For example:
+
+```html
+{{ value|downcase }}
+```
+
+If `value` is "Hello", then the output will be "hello".
+
+## `escape`
+
+The `escape` filter replaces special characters (namely `&`, `<`, `>`, `"` and `'`) in the template variable with their corresponding HTML entities.
+
+For example:
+
+```html
+{{ value|escape }}
+```
+
+If `value` is `Let's do it`, then the output will be `<b>Let's do it</b>`.
+
+## `join`
+
+The `join` filter converts an array of elements into a string separated by `arg`.
+
+For example:
+
+```html
+{{ value|join: arg }}
+```
+
+If `value` is `["Bananas","Apples","Oranges"]` and `arg` is `, `, then the output will be "Bananas, Apples, Oranges".
+
+## `linebreaks`
+
+The `linebreaks` filter allows to convert a string replacing all newlines with HTML line breaks (` `).
+
+For example:
+
+```html
+{{ value|linebreaks }}
+```
+
+If `value` is `Hello\nWorld`, then the output will be `Hello World`.
+
+## `safe`
+
+The `safe` filter allows to mark that a string is safe and that it should not be escaped before being inserted in the final output of a rendered template. Indeed, string values are always automatically HTML-escaped by default in templates.
+
+For example:
+
+```html
+{{ value|safe }}
+```
+
+If `value` is `
Hello
`, then the output will be `
Hello
` as well.
+
+## `size`
+
+The `size` filter allows returning the size of a string or an enumerable object.
+
+For example:
+
+```html
+{{ value|size }}
+```
+
+## `split`
+
+The `split` filter converts a string into an array of elements separated by `arg`.
+
+For example:
+
+```html
+{{ value|split: arg }}
+```
+
+If `value` is `Bananas,Apples,Oranges` and `arg` is `,`, then the output will be ["Bananas","Apples","Oranges"].
+
+## `time`
+
+The `time` filter allows outputting the string representation of a time variable. It requires the specification of a filter argument, which is the format string used to format the time (whose available directives are part of [`Time::Format`](https://crystal-lang.org/api/Time/Format.html)).
+
+```html
+{{ value | time: "%Y-%m-%d" }}
+```
+
+In the above example, the output will be a date string such as `2023-09-25`.
+
+## `upcase`
+
+The `upcase` filter allows to convert a string so that each of its characters is uppercase.
+
+For example:
+
+```html
+{{ value|upcase }}
+```
+
+If `value` is "Hello", then the output will be "HELLO".

+title: Design philosophies
+description: Learn about the design philosophies behind the Marten web framework.
+---
+
+This document goes over the fundamental design philosophies that influenced the creation of the Marten web framework. It seeks to provide insight into the past and serve as a reference for the future.
+
+## Simple and easy to use
+
+Marten tries to ensure that everything it enables is as simple as possible and that the syntax provided for dealing with the framework's components remains obvious and easy to remember (and certainly not complex or obscure). The framework makes it as easy as possible to leverage its capabilities and perform CRUD operations.
+
+## Full-featured
+
+Marten adheres to the "batteries included" philosophy. Out of the box, it provides the tools and features that are commonly required by web applications: [ORM](../models-and-databases/introduction.md), [migrations](../models-and-databases/migrations.md), [translations](../i18n/introduction.md), [templating engine](../templates/introduction.md), [sessions](../handlers-and-http/sessions.md), [emailing](../emailing/introduction.md), and [authentication](../authentication/introduction.md).
+
+## Extensible
+
+Marten gives developers the ability to contribute extra functionalities to the framework easily. Things like [custom model field implementations](../models-and-databases/how-to/create-custom-model-fields.md), [new route parameter types](../handlers-and-http/how-to/create-custom-route-parameters.md), [session stores](../handlers-and-http/sessions.md#session-stores), etc... can all be registered to the framework easily.
+
+## DB-Neutral
+
+The framework's ORM is and should remain usable with multiple database backends (including MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite).
+
+## App-oriented
+
+Marten allows separating projects into a set of logical "[apps](../development/applications.md)", which helps improve code organization and makes it easy for multiple developers to work on different components. Each app can contribute specific abstractions and features to a project like models and migrations, templates, HTTP handlers and routes, etc. These apps can also be extracted in Crystal shards in order to contribute features and behaviors to other Marten projects. The goal behind this capability is to allow the creation of a powerful apps ecosystem over time and to encourage "reusability" and "pluggability".
+
+:::tip
+In this light, the [Awesome Marten](https://github.com/martenframework/awesome-marten) repository lists applications that you can leverage in your projects.
+:::
+
+## Backend-oriented
+
+The framework is intentionally very "backend-oriented" because the idea is to not make too many assumptions regarding how the frontend code and assets should be structured, packaged or bundled together. The framework can't account for all the ways assets can be packaged and/or bundled together and does not advocate for specific solutions in this area. Some projects might require a webpack strategy to bundle assets, some might require a fingerprinting step on top of that, and others might need something entirely different. How these toolchains are configured or set up is left to the discretion of web application developers, and the framework simply makes it easy to [reference these assets](../assets/introduction.md) and [collect them](../assets/introduction.md#serving-assets-in-production) at deploy time to upload them to their final destination.

+
+## Requirements and compatibility
+
+Crystal 1.6 and 1.7.
+
+## New features
+
+### Authentication
+
+The framework now provides the ability to generate projects with a [built-in authentication system](../../authentication.mdx) that handles basic user management needs: signing in/out users, resetting passwords, etc. This can be achieved through the use of the `--with-auth` option of the [`new`](../../development/reference/management-commands.md#new) management command:
+
+```bash
+marten new project myblog --with-auth
+```
+
+The `--with-auth` option ensures that an `auth` [application](../../development/applications.md) is created for the generated project under the `src/auth` folder. This application is part of the created project and provides the necessary [models](../../models-and-databases.mdx), [handlers](../../handlers-and-http.mdx), [schemas](../../schemas.mdx), [emails](../../emailing.mdx), and [templates](../../templates.mdx) allowing authenticating users with email addresses and passwords, while also supporting standard password reset flows. All these abstractions provide a "default" authentication implementation that can be then updated on a per-project basis to better accommodate authentication-related requirements.
+
+### Email sending
+
+Marten now lets you define [emails](../../emailing.mdx) that you can fully customize (properties, header values, etc) and whose bodies (HTML and/or text) are rendered by leveraging [templates](../../templates.mdx). For example, here is how to define a simple email and how to deliver it:
+
+```crystal
+class WelcomeEmail < Marten::Email
+ to @user.email
+ subject "Hello!"
+ template_name "emails/welcome_email.html"
+
+ def initialize(@user : User)
+ end
+end
+
+email = WelcomeEmail.new(user)
+email.deliver
+```
+
+Emails are delivered by leveraging an [emailing backend mechanism](../../emailing/introduction.md#emailing-backends). Emailing backends implement _how_ emails are actually sent and delivered. Presently, Marten supports one built-in [development emailing backend](../../emailing/reference/backends.md#development-backend), and a set of other [third-party backends](../../emailing/reference/backends.md#other-backends) that you can install depending on your email sending requirements.
+
+Please refer to the [Emailing section](../../emailing.mdx) to learn more about this new feature.
+
+### Raw SQL capabilities
+
+Query sets now provide the ability to perform raw queries that are mapped to actual model instances. This is interesting if the capabilities provided by query sets are not sufficient for the task at hand and you need to write custom SQL queries.
+
+For example:
+
+```crystal
+Article.raw("SELECT * FROM articles WHERE title = ?", "Hello World!").each do |article|
+ # Do something with `article` record
+end
+```
+
+Please refer to [Raw SQL](../../models-and-databases/raw-sql.md) to learn more about this capability.
+
+### Email field for models and schemas
+
+It is now possible to define `email` fields in [models](../../models-and-databases/reference/fields.md#email) and [schemas](../../schemas/reference/fields.md#email). These allow you to easily persist valid email addresses in your models but also to expect valid email addresses in data validated through the use of schemas.
+
+For example:
+
+```crystal
+class User < Marten::Model
+ field :id, :big_int, primary_key: true, auto: true
+ field :email, :email, unique: true
+end
+```
+
+### Transaction callbacks
+
+Models now support the definition of transaction callbacks by using the [`#after_commit`](../../models-and-databases/callbacks.md#aftercommit) and [`#after_rollback`](../../models-and-databases/callbacks.md#afterrollback) macros.
+
+For example:
+
+```crystal
+class User < Marten::Model
+ field :id, :big_int, primary_key: true, auto: true
+ field :username, :string, max_size: 64, unique: true
+
+ after_commit :do_something, on: :update
+
+ private def do_something
+ # Do something!
+ end
+end
+```
+
+Please refer to [Callbacks](../../models-and-databases/callbacks.md) to learn more about this capability.
+
+### Minor features
+
+#### Models and databases
+
+* Support for [DB connection pool parameters](https://crystal-lang.org/reference/database/connection_pool.html) was added. See the [database settings reference](../../development/reference/settings.md#database-settings) for more details about the supported parameters
+* Model fields now contribute `#?` methods to model classes in order to easily identify if a field has a value or not. Note that this capability is also enabled for the relationship methods provided by the [`many_to_one`](../../models-and-databases/reference/fields.md#many_to_one) and [`one_to_one`](../../models-and-databases/reference/fields.md#one_to_one) fields
+* It is now possible to leverage a [`#with_timestamp_fields`](pathname:///api/0.2/Marten/DB/Model/Table.html#with_timestamp_fields-macro) macro to automatically create `created_at` / `updated_at` timestamp fields in models. The `created_at` field is populated with the current time when new records are created while the `updated_at` field is refreshed with the current time whenever records are updated. See [Timestamps](../../models-and-databases/introduction.md#timestamps) to learn more about this capability
+* It is now possible to easily retrieve specific column values without loading entire record objects by leveraging the [`#pluck`](../../models-and-databases/reference/query-set.md#pluck) and [`#pick`](../../models-and-databases/reference/query-set.md#pick) query set methods
+
+#### Handlers and HTTP
+
+* `string` can now be used as an alias for `str` when defining [routing parameters](../../handlers-and-http/routing.md#specifying-route-parameters)
+
+#### Templates
+
+* Support for index lookups was added. This means that it is now possible to retrieve specific index values from indexable objects in templates using the `{{ var. }}` syntax (for example: `{{ var.0 }}`)
+* A [`linebreaks`](../../templates/reference/filters.md#linebreaks) template filter was introduced to allow replacing all newlines with HTML line breaks (` `) in strings easily
+
+#### Schemas
+
+* Schemas can now be initialized from handler routing parameters (which means that they can be initialized from the hashes that are returned by the [`Marten::Handlers::Base#params`](pathname:///api/0.2/Marten/Handlers/Base.html#params%3AHash(String%2CInt16|Int32|Int64|Int8|String|UInt16|UInt32|UInt64|UInt8|UUID)-instance-method) method)
+
+#### Management commands
+
+* The [`serve`](../../development/reference/management-commands.md#serve) management command now supports the ability to override the host and port used by the development server
+
+#### Testing
+
+* A [testing client](../../development/testing.md#using-the-test-client) was introduced in order to allow developers to easily test handlers (and the various routes of a project) by issuing requests and by introspecting the returned responses.
+
+## Backward incompatible changes
+
+### Templates
+
+* The `loop.first` and `loop.last` for loop variables were respectively renamed `loop.first?` and `loop.last?`. See the [template tag reference](../../templates/reference/tags.md#for) to learn more about the `for` template tag
+
+### Management commands
+
+* The [`new`](../../development/reference/management-commands.md#new) management command's optional directory argument was replaced by a dedicated `-d DIR, --dir=DIR` option

+
+## Requirements and compatibility
+
+Crystal 1.6, 1.7, and 1.8.
+
+## New features
+
+### Support for streaming responses
+
+It is now possible to generate streaming responses from iterators of strings easily by leveraging the [`Marten::HTTP::Response::Streaming`](pathname:///api/0.3/Marten/HTTP/Response/Streaming.html) class or the [`#respond`](pathname:///api/0.3/Marten/Handlers/Base.html#respond(streamed_content%3AIterator(String)%2Ccontent_type%3DHTTP%3A%3AResponse%3A%3ADEFAULT_CONTENT_TYPE%2Cstatus%3D200)-instance-method) helper method. This can be beneficial if you intend to generate lengthy responses or responses that consume excessive memory (a classic example of this is the generation of large CSV files).
+
+Please refer to [Streaming responses](../../handlers-and-http/introduction.md#streaming-responses) to learn more about this new capability.
+
+### Caching
+
+Marten now lets you interact with a global cache store that allows interacting with an underlying cache system and performing basic operations such as fetching cached entries, writing new entries, etc. By using caching, you can save the result of expensive operations so that you don't have to perform them for every request.
+
+The global cache can be accessed by leveraging the [`Marten#cache`](pathname:///api/0.3/Marten.html#cache%3ACache%3A%3AStore%3A%3ABase-class-method) method. Here are a few examples on how to perform some basic caching operations:
+
+```crystal
+# Fetching an entry from the cache.
+Marten.cache.fetch("mykey", expires_in: 4.hours) do
+ "myvalue"
+end
+
+# Reading from the cache.
+Marten.cache.read("unknown") # => nil
+Marten.cache.read("mykey") # => "myvalue"
+Marten.cache.exists?("mykey") => true
+
+# Writing to the cache.
+Marten.cache.write("foo", "bar", expires_in: 10.minutes) => true
+```
+
+Marten's caching leverages a [cache store mechanism](../../caching/introduction.md#configuration-and-cache-stores). By default, Marten uses an in-memory cache (instance of [`Marten::Cache::Store::Memory`](pathname:///api/0.3/Marten/Cache/Store/Memory.html)) and other [third-party stores](../../caching/reference/stores.md#other-stores) can be installed depending on your caching requirements (eg. Memcached, Redis).
+
+Marten's new caching capabilities are not only limited to its standard cache functionality. They can also be effectively utilized via the newly introduced [template fragment caching](../../caching/introduction.md#template-fragment-caching) feature, made possible by the [`cache`](../../templates/reference/tags.md#cache) template tag. With this feature, specific parts of your [templates](../../templates.mdx) can now be cached with ease.
+
+Please refer to the [Caching](../../caching.mdx) to learn more about these new capabilities.
+
+### JSON field for models and schemas
+
+Marten now provides the ability to define `json` fields in [models](../../models-and-databases/reference/fields.md#json) and [schemas](../../schemas/reference/fields.md#json). These fields allow you to easily persist and interact with valid JSON structures that are exposed as [`JSON::Any`](https://crystal-lang.org/api/JSON/Any.html) objects by default.
+
+For example:
+
+```crystal
+class MyModel < Marten::Model
+ # Other fields...
+ field :metadata, :json
+end
+
+MyModel.last!.metadata # => JSON::Any object
+```
+
+Additionally, it is also possible to specify that JSON values must be deserialized using a class that makes use of [`JSON::Serializable`](https://crystal-lang.org/api/JSON/Serializable.html). This can be done by leveraging the `serializable` option in both [model fields](../../models-and-databases/reference/fields.md#json) and [schema fields](../../schemas/reference/fields.md#serializable).
+
+For example:
+
+```crystal
+class MySerializable
+ include JSON::Serializable
+
+ property a : Int32 | Nil
+ property b : String | Nil
+end
+
+class MyModel < Marten::Model
+ # Other fields...
+ field :metadata, :json, serializable: MySerializable
+end
+
+MyModel.last!.metadata # => MySerializable object
+```
+
+### Duration field for models and schemas
+
+It is now possible to define `duration` fields in [models](../../models-and-databases/reference/fields.md#duration) and [schemas](../../schemas/reference/fields.md#duration). These allow you to easily persist valid durations (that map to [`Time::Span`](https://crystal-lang.org/api/Time/Span.html) objects in Crystal) in your models but also to expect valid durations in data validated through the use of schemas.
+
+For example:
+
+```crystal
+class Recipe < Marten::Model
+ field :id, :big_int, primary_key: true, auto: true
+ # Other fields...
+ field :fridge_time, :duration, blank: true, null: true
+end
+```
+
+### Minor features
+
+#### Models and databases
+
+* New [`#get_or_create`](../../models-and-databases/reference/query-set.md#get_or_create) / [`#get_or_create!`](../../models-and-databases/reference/query-set.md#get_or_create-1) methods were added to query sets in order to allow easily retrieving a model record matching a given set of filters or creating a new one if no record is found.
+* [`string`](../../models-and-databases/reference/fields.md#string) fields now support a `min_size` option allowing to validate the minimum size of persisted string field values.
+* A new [`#includes?`](../../models-and-databases/reference/query-set.md#includes) method was added to query sets in order easily perform membership checks without loading the entire list of records targeted by a given query set.
+* Alternative [`#exists?`](../../models-and-databases/reference/query-set.md#exists) methods were added to query sets in order to allow specifying additional filters to use as part of existence checks.
+* An [`#any?`](pathname:///api/0.3/Marten/DB/Query/Set.html#any%3F-instance-method) method was added to query sets in order to short-circuit the default implementation of [`Enumerable#any?`](https://crystal-lang.org/api/Enumerable.html#any%3F%3ABool-instance-method) and to avoid loading the full list of records in memory (when called without arguments). This overridden method is technically an alias of [`#exists?`](../../models-and-databases/reference/query-set.md#exists).
+* Marten migrations are now optimized to prevent possible issues with circular dependencies within added or deleted tables
+* It is now possible to define arbitrary database options by using the new [`db.options`](../../development/reference/settings.md#options) database setting.
+* It is now possible to define [`many_to_one`](../../models-and-databases/reference/fields.md#many_to_one) and [`one_to_one`](../../models-and-databases/reference/fields.md#one_to_one) fields that target models with non-integer primary key fields (such as UUID fields for example).
+
+#### Handlers and HTTP
+
+* The [`Marten::Handlers::RecordList`](../../handlers-and-http/reference/generic-handlers.md#listing-records) generic record now provides the ability to specify a custom [query set](../../models-and-databases/queries.md) instead of a model class. This can be achieved through the use of the [`#queryset`](pathname:///api/0.3/Marten/Handlers/RecordListing.html#queryset(queryset)-macro) macro.
+* A new [`Marten::Middleware::AssetServing`](../../handlers-and-http/reference/middlewares.md#asset-serving-middleware) middleware was introduced to make it easy to serve collected assets in situations where it is not possible to easily configure a web server (such as [Nginx](https://nginx.org)) or a third-party service (like Amazon's S3 or GCS) to serve assets directly.
+* A new [`Marten::Middleware::SSLRedirect`](../../handlers-and-http/reference/middlewares.md#ssl-redirect-middleware) middleware was introduced to allow redirecting non-HTTPS requests to HTTPS easily.
+* A new [`Marten::Middleware::ContentSecurityPolicy`](../../handlers-and-http/reference/middlewares.md#content-security-policy-middleware) middleware was introduced to ensure the presence of the Content-Security-Policy header in the response's headers. Please refer to [Content Security Policy](../../security/content-security-policy.md) to learn more about the Content-Security-Policy header and how to configure it.
+* The [`Marten::Middleware::I18n`](../../handlers-and-http/reference/middlewares.md#i18n-middleware) middleware can now automatically determine the current locale based on the value of a cookie whose name can be configured with the [`i18n.locale_cookie_name`](../../development/reference/settings.md#locale_cookie_name) setting.
+* The [`Marten::Middleware::I18n`](../../handlers-and-http/reference/middlewares.md#i18n-middleware) middleware now automatically sets the Content-Language header based on the activated locale.
+
+#### Templates
+
+* A [`join`](../../templates/reference/filters.md#join) template filter was introduced to allow converting enumerable template values into a string separated by a separator value.
+* A [`split`](../../templates/reference/filters.md#split) template filter was introduced to allow converting a string into an array of elements.
+
+#### Schemas
+
+* Type-safe getter methods (ie. `#`, `#!`, and `#?`) are now automatically generated for schema fields. Please refer to [Accessing validated data](../../schemas/introduction.md#accessing-validated-data) in the schemas documentation to read more about these methods and how/why to use them.
+
+#### Development
+
+* [`Marten::HTTP::Errors::SuspiciousOperation`](pathname:///api/0.3/Marten/HTTP/Errors/SuspiciousOperation.html) exceptions are now showcased using the debug internal error page handler to make it easier to diagnose errors such as unexpected host errors (which result from a missing host value in the [`allowed_hosts`](../../development/reference/settings.md#allowedhosts) setting).
+* [`Marten#setup`](pathname:///api/0.3/Marten.html#setup-class-method) now raises.[`Marten::Conf::Errors::InvalidConfiguration`](pathname:///api/0.3/Marten/Conf/Errors/InvalidConfiguration.html) exceptions when a configured database involves a backend that is not installed (eg. a MySQL database configured without `crystal-lang/crystal-mysql` installed and required).
+* The [`new`](../../development/reference/management-commands.md#new) management command now automatically creates a [`.editorconfig`](https://editorconfig.org) file for new projects.
+* A new [`root_path`](../../development/reference/settings.md#root_path) setting was introduced to make it possible to configure the actual location of the project sources in your system. This is especially useful when deploying projects that have been compiled in a different location from their final destination, which can happen on platforms like Heroku. By setting the root path, you can ensure that your application can find all necessary project sources, as well as other files like locales, assets, and templates.
+* A new `--plan` option was added to the [`migrate`](../../development/reference/management-commands.md#migrate) management command in order to provide a comprehensive overview of the operations that will be performed by the applied or unapplied migrations.
+* An interactive mode was added to the [`new`](../../development/reference/management-commands.md#new) management command: if the `type` and `name` arguments are not provided, the command now prompts the user for inputting the structure type, the app or project name, and whether the auth app should be generated.
+* It is now possible to specify command aliases when defining management commands by leveraging the [`#command_aliases`](pathname:///api/0.3/Marten/CLI/Manage/Command/Base.html#command_aliases(*aliases%3AString|Symbol)-class-method) helper method.
+
+#### Security
+
+* The ability to fully configure and customize the Content-Security-Policy header was added to the framework. Please refer to [Content Security Policy](../../security/content-security-policy.md) to learn more about the Content-Security-Policy header and how to configure it in Marten projects.
+
+#### Deployment
+
+* A new guide was added in order to document [how to deploy on Heroku](../../deployment/how-to/deploy-to-heroku).
+* A new guide was added in order to document [how to deploy on Fly.io](../../deployment/how-to/deploy-to-fly-io).
+
+## Backward incompatible changes
+
+### Handlers and HTTP
+
+* [Custom route parameter](../../handlers-and-http/how-to/create-custom-route-parameters.md) must now implement a [`#regex`](pathname:///api/0.3/Marten/Routing/Parameter/Base.html#regex%3ARegex-instance-method) method and can no longer rely on a `#regex` macro to generate such method.
+* The generic handlers that used to require the use of a `#model` class method now leverage a dedicated macro instead. This is to make handlers that inherit from generic handler classes more type-safe when it comes to manipulating model records.
+* The generic handlers that used to require the use of a `#schema` class method now leverage a dedicated macro instead. This is to make handlers that inherit from generic handler classes more type-safe when it comes to manipulating schema instances.

+## Requirements and compatibility
+
+Crystal 1.9, 1.10, and 1.11.
+
+## New features
+
+### Generators
+
+Marten now provides a generator mechanism that makes it easy to create various abstractions, files, and structures within an existing project. This feature is available through the use of the [`gen`](../../development/reference/management-commands.md#gen) management command and facilitates the generation of key components such as [models](../../models-and-databases/introduction.md), [schemas](../../schemas/introduction.md), [emails](../../emailing/introduction.md), or [applications](../../development/applications.md). The [authentication application](../../authentication/introduction.md) can now also be added easily to existing projects through the use of generators. By leveraging generators, developers can improve their workflow and speed up the development of their Marten projects while following best practices.
+
+Below are highlighted some examples illustrating the use of the [`gen`](../../development/reference/management-commands.md#gen) management command:
+
+```sh
+# Generate a model in the admin app:
+marten gen model User name:string email:string --app admin
+
+# Generate a new TestEmail email in the blog application:
+marten gen email TestEmail --app blog
+
+# Add a new 'blogging' application to the current project:
+marten gen app blogging
+
+# Add the authentication application to the current project:
+margen gen auth
+```
+
+You can read more about the generator mechanism in the [dedicated documentation](../../development/generators.md). All the available generators are also listed in the [generators reference](../../development/reference/generators.md).
+
+### Multi table inheritance
+
+It is now possible to define models that inherit from other concrete models (ie. non-abstract models). In this situation, each model can be used/queried individually and has its own associated database table. The framework automatically defines a set of "links" between each model that uses multi table inheritance and its parent models in order to ensure that the relational structure and inheritance hierarchy are maintained.
+
+For example:
+
+```crystal
+class Person < Marten::Model
+ field :id, :big_int, primary_key: true, auto: true
+ field :first_name, :string, max_size: 100
+ field :last_name, :string, max_size: 100
+end
+
+class Employee < Person
+ field :company_name, :string, max_size: 100
+end
+
+employee = Employee.filter(first_name: "John").first!
+employee.first_name # => "John"
+```
+
+All the fields defined in the `Person` model can be accessed when interacting with records of the `Employee` model (despite the fact that the data itself is stored in distinct tables).
+
+You can read more about this new kind of model inheritance in [Multi table inheritance](../../models-and-databases/introduction.md#multi-table-inheritance).
+
+### Schema handler callbacks
+
+Handlers that inherit from the base schema handler - [`Marten::Handlers::Schema`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Handlers/Schema.html) - or one of its subclasses (such as [`Marten::Handlers::RecordCreate`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Handlers/RecordCreate.html) or [`Marten::Handlers::RecordUpdate`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Handlers/RecordUpdate.html)) can now define new kinds of callbacks that allow to easily manipulate the considered [schema](../../schemas/introduction.md) instance and to define logic to execute before the schema is validated or after (eg. when the schema validation is successful or failed):
+
+* [`before_schema_validation`](../../handlers-and-http/callbacks.md#before_schema_validation)
+* [`after_schema_validation`](../../handlers-and-http/callbacks.md#after_schema_validation)
+* [`after_successful_schema_validation`](../../handlers-and-http/callbacks.md#after_successful_schema_validation)
+* [`after_failed_schema_validation`](../../handlers-and-http/callbacks.md#after_failed_schema_validation)
+
+For example, the [`after_successful_schema_validation`](../../handlers-and-http/callbacks.md#after_successful_schema_validation) callback can be used to create a flash message after a schema has been successfully validated:
+
+```crystal
+class ArticleCreateHandler < Marten::Handlers::Schema
+ success_route_name "home"
+ template_name "articles/create.html"
+ schema ArticleSchema
+
+ after_successful_schema_validation :generate_success_flash_message
+
+ private def generate_success_flash_message : Nil
+ flash[:notice] = "Article successfully created!"
+ end
+end
+```
+
+Please head over to [Schema handler callbacks](../../handlers-and-http/callbacks.md#schema-handler-callbacks) to learn more about these new types of callbacks.
+
+### URL field for models and schemas
+
+It is now possible to define `url` fields in [models](../../models-and-databases/reference/fields.md#url) and [schemas](../../schemas/reference/fields.md#url). These allow you to easily persist valid URLs in your models but also to expect valid URL values in data validated through the use of schemas.
+
+For example:
+
+```crystal
+class User < Marten::Model
+ field :id, :big_int, primary_key: true, auto: true
+ field :website_url, :url, blank: true, null: true
+end
+```
+
+### Slug field for models and schemas
+
+It is now possible to define `slug` fields in [models](../../models-and-databases/reference/fields.md#slug) and [schemas](../../schemas/reference/fields.md#slug). These allow you to easily persist valid slug values (ie. strings that can only include characters, numbers, dashes, and underscores) in your models but also to expect such values in data validated through the use of schemas.
+
+For example:
+
+```crystal
+class User < Marten::Model
+ field :id, :big_int, primary_key: true, auto: true
+ field :username, :slug
+end
+```
+
+### Minor features
+
+#### Models and databases
+
+* Support for removing records from many-to-many fields was added and many-to-many field query sets now provide a [`#remove`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/DB/Query/ManyToManySet.html#remove(*objs%3AM)%3ANil-instance-method) helper method allowing to easily remove specific records from a specific relation. You can learn more about this capability in [Many-to-many relationships](../../models-and-databases/relationships.md#many-to-many-relationships).
+* Support for clearing all the references to records targeted by many-to-many fields was added. Indeed, many-to-many field query sets now provide a [`#clear`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/DB/Query/ManyToManySet.html#clear%3ANil-instance-method) method allowing to easily clear a specific relation. You can learn more about this capability in [Many-to-many relationships](../../models-and-databases/relationships.md#many-to-many-relationships).
+* It is now possible to specify arrays of records to add or remove from a many-to-many relationship query set, through the use of the [`#add`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/DB/Query/ManyToManySet.html#add(*objs%3AM)-instance-method) and [`#remove`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/DB/Query/ManyToManySet.html#remove(*objs%3AM)%3ANil-instance-method) methods. See the [related documentation](../../models-and-databases/relationships.md#interacting-with-related-records-2) to learn more about interacting with records targeted by many-to-many relationships.
+* Records targeted by reverse relations that are contributed to models by [`one_to_one`](../../models-and-databases/reference/fields.md#one_to_one) (ie. when using the [`related`](../../models-and-databases/reference/fields.md#related-2) option) are now memoized when the corresponding methods are called on related model instances.
+* Relation fields that contribute methods that return query sets to models (such as [`many_to_one`](../../models-and-databases/reference/fields.md#many_to_one) or [`many_to_many`](../../models-and-databases/reference/fields.md#many_to_many) fields) now make sure that those query set objects are memoized at the record level. The corresponding instance variables are also reset when the considered records are reloaded. This allows to limit the number of queries involved when iterating multiple times over the records targeted by a [`many_to_many`](../../models-and-databases/reference/fields.md#many_to_many) field for example.
+* The [`#order`](../../models-and-databases/reference/query-set.md#order) query set method can now be called directly on model classes to allow retrieving all the records of the considered model in a specific order.
+* A [`#pk?`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/DB/Model/Table.html#pk%3F%3ABool-instance-method) model method can now be leveraged to determine if a primary key value is set on a given model record.
+* The [`#join`](../../models-and-databases/reference/query-set.md#join) query set method now makes it possible to pre-select one-to-one reverse relations. This essentially allows to traverse a [`one_to_one`](../../models-and-databases/reference/fields.md#one_to_one) field back to the model record on which the field is specified.
+* The [`#count`](../../models-and-databases/reference/query-set.md#count) query set method can now take an optional field name to count the number of records that have a non-null value for the corresponding column in the database.
+
+#### Handlers and HTTP
+
+* It is now optional to define a name for included route maps (but defining a name for individual routes that are associated with [handlers](../../handlers-and-http/introduction.md) is still mandatory). You can read more about this in [Defining included routes](../../handlers-and-http/routing.md#defining-included-routes).
+* The [`Marten::Handlers::Schema`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Handlers/Schema.html) generic handler now allows modifying the schema object context name through the use of the [`#schema_context_name`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Handlers/Schema.html#schema_context_name(name%3AString|Symbol)-class-method) method.
+* It is now possible to specify symbol status codes when making use of the [`#respond`](../../handlers-and-http/introduction.md#respond), [`#render`](../../handlers-and-http/introduction.md#render), [`#head`](../../handlers-and-http/introduction.md#head), and [`#json`](../../handlers-and-http/introduction.md#json) response helper methods. Such symbols must comply with the values of the [`HTTP::Status`](https://crystal-lang.org/api/HTTP/Status.html) enum.
+* The hash of matched routing parameters that is available from handlers through the use of the `#params` method can accept symbols and strings when performing key lookups.
+* The [GZip middleware](../../handlers-and-http/reference/middlewares.md#gzip-middleware) now incorporates a mitigation strategy against the BREACH attack. This strategy (described in the [Heal The Breach paper](https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9754554)) involves introducing up to 100 random bytes into GZip responses to enhance the security against such attacks.
+* A new [`before_render`](../../handlers-and-http/callbacks.md#before_render) callback type is now available to handlers. Such callbacks are executed before rendering a [template](../../templates/introduction.md) in order to produce a response. As such they are well suited for adding new variables to the global template context so that they are available to the template runtime.
+* All handlers now have access to a [global template context](../../handlers-and-http/introduction.md#global-template-context) through the use of the [`#context`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/Handlers/Base.html#context-instance-method) method. This template context object is available for the lifetime of the considered handler and can be mutated to define which variables are made available to the template runtime when rendering templates (either through the use of the [`#render`](#render) helper method or when rendering templates as part of subclasses of the [`Marten::Handlers::Template`](../../handlers-and-http/generic-handlers.md#rendering-a-template) generic handler). This feature can be combined with the [`before_render`](../../handlers-and-http/callbacks.md#before_render) callback to effortlessly introduce new variables to the context used for rendering a template and generating a handler response.
+
+#### Templates
+
+* A [`with`](../../templates/reference/tags.md#with) template tag was introduced in order to make it easy to assign one or more variables inside a template block.
+* A [`time`](../../templates/reference/filters.md#time) template tag was introduced in order to make it possible to output the string representation of a time variable according to a specific [time format pattern](https://crystal-lang.org/api/Time/Format.html).
+* An [`escape`](../../templates/reference/filters.md#escape) template tag was introduced in order to make it easy to explicitly escape [safe strings](../../templates/introduction.md#auto-escaping) in templates.
+* The ability to configure how undefined/unknown variables are treated was added to the framework: by default, such variables are treated as `nil` values (so nothing is displayed for such variables, and they are evaluated as falsey in if conditions). This behavior can be configured via the [`templates.strict_variables`](../../development/reference/settings.md#strict_variables) setting, and you can learn more about it in [Strict variables](../../templates/introduction.md#strict-variables).
+
+#### Development
+
+* The [`new`](../../development/reference/management-commands.md#new) management command now accepts an optional `--database` option that can be used to preconfigure the application database (eg. `--database=postgresql`).
+* A [`clearsessions`](../../development/reference/management-commands.md#clearsessions) management command was introduced in order to ease the process of clearing expired session entries.
+* Custom management commands can now define how they want to handle unknown or undefined arguments through the use of the [`#on_unknown_argument`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/CLI/Manage/Command/Base.html#on_unknown_argument(%26block%3AString->)-instance-method) method. This can be leveraged to implement management commands which can accept a variable number of positional arguments.
+* Custom management commands can now define how they want to handle invalid options through the use of the [`#on_invalid_option`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/CLI/Manage/Command/Base.html#on_invalid_option(%26block%3AString->)-instance-method) method.
+
+#### Emailing
+
+* [Emails](../../emailing/introduction.md) now provide a set of [callbacks](../../emailing/callbacks.md) that make it easy to define logic that is triggered at different stages of an email's lifecycle (before/after an email gets delivered, before rendering the email's template).
+
+#### Authentication
+
+* The generated authentication application now features the ability to change the password of the currently logged-in user.
+
+## Backward incompatible changes
+
+### Handlers and HTTP
+
+* Custom [session stores](../../handlers-and-http/sessions.md#session-stores) must now implement a [`#clear_expired_entries`](pathname:///api/0.4/Marten/HTTP/Session/Store/Base.html#clear_expired_entries%3ANil-instance-method) method (allowing to clear expired session entries if this is applicable for the considered store).
+* The introduction of the [global template context](../../handlers-and-http/introduction.md#global-template-context) involves that generic handlers that used to override the `#context` method (in order to insert record or schema objects into the template context for example) now leverage [`before_render`](../../handlers-and-http/callbacks.md#before_render) callbacks in order to mutate the global context and define the same variables. Generic handler subclasses that were overriding this `#context` method and calling `super` in it will likely need to be updated in order to leverage the [`before_render`](../../handlers-and-http/callbacks.md#before_render) callback to add custom variables to the [global template context](../../handlers-and-http/introduction.md#global-template-context).
+
+### Templates
+
+* The [`default`](../../templates/reference/filters.md#default) template filter will now return the specified default value if the incoming value is falsey or empty.
+
+### Emailing
+
+* The introduction of the [global template context](../../emailing/introduction.md#modifying-the-template-context) involves that emails that used to explicitly define a `#context` method (eg. in order to define a hash of template variables from local instance variables) won't work anymore. Instead these emails should now leverage the [`before_render`](../../emailing/callbacks.md#before_render) callback in order to [add these variables to the email template context object](../../emailing/introduction.md#modifying-the-template-context).
