Walkthrough

Refactors mutation handling by replacing the mutationInterceptionFilter flow with explicit before/after entity mutation hooks, introducing MutationInfo and queryId correlation, adjusting transaction behavior for after hooks, augmenting return payloads for certain mutations, and updating plugin types and tests to the new load-based entity retrieval APIs.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Executor mutation flow refactor
packages/runtime/src/client/executor/zenstack-query-executor.ts
Removes MutationInterceptionInfo and callMutationInterceptionFilters; adds MutationQueryNode/MutationInfo and getMutationInfo; reworks before/after hook invocation with loaders and queryId; detects plugin capabilities; conditionally wraps in transactions; forces returning all fields for insert/update when needed; threads queryId through execute paths; updates executeQuery signature.
Plugin API: hooks and args
packages/runtime/src/client/plugin.ts
Replaces mutationInterceptionFilter with beforeEntityMutation/afterEntityMutation; adds runAfterMutationWithinTransaction; introduces queryId on hook args; replaces entities arrays with loadBeforeMutationEntities/loadAfterMutationEntities loaders; removes MutationInterceptionFilter types; updates public definitions and docs references.
Tests: entity mutation hooks
packages/runtime/test/plugin/entity-mutation-hooks.test.ts
Migrates tests to new API: uses async loadBeforeMutationEntities/loadAfterMutationEntities; asserts queryId correlation; updates configurations with runAfterMutationWithinTransaction; removes interception-filter-specific tests; adapts validations to loaded entities and new args shape.

Poem

A hop, a skip, a query flies,
Hooks before and after wise.
I load the beans, not guess or pry,
With queryId to track the why.
In burrowed tx, I safely dwell—
Then pop back out: it’s all as well. 🐇✨

PR Review: Remove Filter from Entity Mutation Hooks

I've analyzed the changes in this refactoring PR. This is a significant simplification that removes the complexity around filtering and conditional loading in entity mutation hooks.

Todo List:

  • Read repository guidelines (CLAUDE.md)
  • Analyze changed files to understand the refactoring
  • Review code quality and best practices
  • Check for potential bugs or issues
  • Evaluate performance considerations
  • Assess security concerns
  • Review test coverage changes
  • Provide comprehensive feedback

Summary

This PR removes the mutationInterceptionFilter mechanism from entity mutation hooks, significantly simplifying the API. The key changes include:

  1. Removed mutationInterceptionFilter - Plugins no longer need to specify whether to intercept mutations or what data to load
  2. Always intercept mutations - All mutations with entity mutation hooks are now intercepted
  3. Lazy loading approach - Entity data is loaded on-demand via function calls instead of pre-loading
  4. Simplified API - Hook arguments now use functions (loadBeforeMutationEntities(), loadAfterMutationEntities()) instead of pre-loaded data arrays

Code Quality & Best Practices ✅

Strengths:

  • Simplification: The removal of the filter reduces API complexity and cognitive overhead
  • Consistent patterns: All hook types now follow the same interception pattern
  • Better separation of concerns: Loading logic is separated from hook logic
  • Type safety: Strong typing maintained throughout the refactor

Observations:

  • Good use of TypeScript pattern matching in getMutationInfo() (lines 118-131 in zenstack-query-executor.ts)
  • Proper error handling maintained
  • Clean abstraction with lazy loading functions

Potential Issues & Bugs 🟡

Minor concerns:

  1. Performance impact: The new approach always checks for entity mutation plugins (packages/runtime/src/client/executor/zenstack-query-executor.ts:141), whereas the old filter could skip interception entirely. However, this is likely negligible.

  2. Breaking change: This is a significant API change that will require users to update their plugins. The PR title suggests this is intentional.

  3. Memory efficiency: The lazy loading approach is generally better than pre-loading, but worth monitoring if hooks frequently don't use the loaded entities.

Performance Considerations ✅

Improvements:

  • Lazy loading: Entities are only loaded when explicitly requested via loadBeforeMutationEntities() or loadAfterMutationEntities()
  • Reduced unnecessary queries: Previously, the filter might have loaded data that hooks never used
  • Simplified control flow: Fewer conditional branches in the executor logic

Potential concerns:

  • Multiple calls to loading functions could result in duplicate queries, but this appears to be handled with caching logic

Security Concerns ✅

No security issues identified. The refactor:

  • Maintains proper transaction isolation
  • Preserves client isolation (hooks use clients with suppressMutationHooks: true to prevent infinite loops)
  • Continues to prevent nested transaction issues

Test Coverage 🟡

Test updates align well with changes:

  • Tests were updated to use the new lazy loading API (loadBeforeMutationEntities(), loadAfterMutationEntities())
  • Comprehensive coverage maintained for various scenarios (nested mutations, transactions, etc.)
  • 195 lines removed from tests suggests significant simplification

Observation:
The test changes look thorough, but it would be beneficial to ensure edge cases around multiple calls to loading functions are covered.

Specific Code Review

packages/runtime/src/client/plugin.ts

  • Clean API simplification
  • Good documentation of the new runAfterMutationWithinTransaction behavior
  • Type definitions are clear and consistent

packages/runtime/src/client/executor/zenstack-query-executor.ts

  • getMutationInfo() method (lines 116-134) is well-structured using pattern matching
  • Transaction handling logic remains robust
  • The executor properly handles both in-transaction and out-of-transaction scenarios

Test file changes

  • Tests properly updated to use new API
  • Good coverage of different mutation types and transaction scenarios
  • Tests validate that query IDs are properly correlated between before/after hooks

Recommendations

  1. Documentation: Ensure migration guide exists for users upgrading from the filtered approach
  2. Performance monitoring: Consider adding metrics to monitor if the always-intercept approach has meaningful performance impact
  3. Edge case testing: Verify behavior when loading functions are called multiple times

Overall Assessment ✅

This is a well-executed refactoring that significantly simplifies the entity mutation hooks API. The changes are internally consistent, maintain type safety, and improve the developer experience by removing complex filtering logic. The lazy loading approach is generally more efficient and flexible than the previous pre-loading mechanism.

The breaking change nature is clearly intentional and the simplification benefits outweigh the migration costs. The code quality is high and the implementation appears robust.

505-513: Incorrect composition of WHERE nodes (likely malformed AST and wrong results)

andNodes is composing WhereNode instances directly inside AndNode.create and WhereNode.create. Kysely’s AndNode expects boolean-expression OperationNode(s), not WhereNode wrappers. This will produce an invalid AST and can lead to wrong or failing queries when loading pre-mutation entities.

Apply this diff:

-    private andNodes(condition1: WhereNode | undefined, condition2: WhereNode | undefined) {
-        if (condition1 && condition2) {
-            return WhereNode.create(AndNode.create(condition1, condition2))
-        } else if (condition1) {
-            return WhereNode.create(condition1)
-        } else {
-            return condition2
-        }
-    }
+    private andNodes(condition1: WhereNode | undefined, condition2: WhereNode | undefined) {
+        if (condition1 && condition2) {
+            // Merge the inner predicates, not the WhereNode wrappers
+            return WhereNode.create(AndNode.create(condition1.where!, condition2.where!));
+        } else if (condition1) {
+            return condition1;
+        } else {
+            return condition2;
+        }
+    }

Additionally, consider guarding condition1.where/condition2.where with invariant checks to catch unexpected undefineds.

374-376: Comment contradicts expectation

The comment says “mutation is persisted” but the assertion expects length 0. Since the before hook throws, the mutation should be aborted. Fix the comment.

300-316: Parameter naming consistency: prefer args over ctx

There’s a mix of ctx and args across tests. For consistency and readability (matching other newer tests), consider standardizing on args.

Example:

-                        async beforeEntityMutation(ctx) {
-                            await ctx.client.profile.create({

packages/runtime/src/client/plugin.ts (5)

126-136: Docs inconsistent: queryNode availability for delete mutations

The doc on Line 127 says “Only available for create and update actions,” but both before/after hooks receive queryNode for delete as well (executor passes it for all three actions). Please update the docs for accuracy.

Apply this diff to adjust the docs:

-    /**
-     * The mutation data. Only available for create and update actions.
-     */
+    /**
+     * The mutation AST node. Available for all mutation actions (create, update, delete).
+     * For deletes, consumers typically use the WHERE clause to derive affected entities.
+     */

101-113: Clarify transactional semantics w.r.t. before hooks

The description is precise for after hooks. Consider adding one sentence to avoid ambiguity that beforeEntityMutation does NOT run inside the on-the-fly transaction created for after hooks; it only runs inside an outer transaction if one already exists.

Proposed doc tweak:

  /**
   * Whether to run after-mutation hooks within the transaction that performs the mutation.
@@
- * Defaults to `false`.
+ * Defaults to `false`.
+ *
+ * Note: beforeEntityMutation always executes before the mutation. It runs inside a transaction
+ * only if the mutation is already running inside one (i.e., when there is an outer transaction).
+ * An on-the-fly transaction is not created for the before hook.
   */

132-136: Document queryId uniqueness expectations

queryId is great for correlating before/after invocations. It’s worth documenting that it’s unique per mutation operation to avoid misuse.

-    /**
-     * A query ID that uniquely identifies the mutation operation. You can use it to correlate
-     * data between the before and after mutation hooks.
-     */
+    /**
+     * A query ID that uniquely identifies a single mutation operation.
+     * Use it to correlate data between the before and after mutation hooks.
+     * The ID is unique per mutation invocation.
+     */

146-151: Spell out semantics for create vs update/delete in loader

loadBeforeMutationEntities returns undefined for creates. Consider making that explicit in the doc.

-    /**
-     * Loads the entities that are about to be mutated.
-     */
+    /**
+     * Loads the entities that are about to be mutated.
+     * - For update/delete: returns the rows matching the mutation's WHERE.
+     * - For create: returns undefined.
+     */

162-175: Be explicit that delete returns undefined for after loader

The executor returns undefined for deletes. Small doc tweak improves clarity and avoids surprises.

-    /**
-     * Loads the entities that have been mutated.
-     */
+    /**
+     * Loads the entities that have been mutated.
+     * - For create/update: returns the rows affected by the mutation.
+     * - For delete: returns undefined.
+     */
packages/runtime/src/client/executor/zenstack-query-executor.ts (2)

152-163: RETURNING * injection: confirm cross-dialect behavior and provide fallback

Injecting returning: select * for insert/update is great for Postgres/SQLite. For MySQL/MariaDB, RETURNING is not supported and queryResult.rows may be empty, breaking loadAfterMutationEntities for those dialects.

  • Verify driver behavior for MySQL-family.
  • If unsupported, gate the injection behind a capability check (e.g., driver.supportsReturning) and consider a fallback:
    • For update: load affected entities via WHERE (like before-loader) after execution.
    • For create: if unique fields are present in data, re-load via those; otherwise document the limitation in plugin.ts.

I can help draft a capability flag on ZenStackDriver and wire a fallback if desired.

Also applies to: 467-474


465-485: Minor: avoid recomputing model in after hooks

You already have mutationInfo.model at the call site. Avoid recomputing with getMutationModel(queryNode).

-        const mutationModel = this.getMutationModel(queryNode);
+        const mutationModel = mutationInfo.model;
packages/runtime/test/plugin/entity-mutation-hooks.test.ts (1)

71-114: Great coverage of queryId correlation; consider adding uniqueness check across operations

You already assert before/after equality per operation. As a small enhancement, also assert that update and delete use different IDs to catch accidental reuse.

For example, after existing assertions:

             expect(queryIds.update.before).toBe(queryIds.update.after);
             expect(queryIds.delete.before).toBe(queryIds.delete.after);
+            expect(queryIds.update.before).not.toBe(queryIds.delete.before);

89-99: API shape looks solid; clear split of before/after hooks and transactional option

  • The move from a filter to explicit before/after hooks is clearer and easier to reason about.
  • The new runAfterMutationWithinTransaction flag gives good, explicit control over consistency vs. isolation.

116-137: Nice validation of loadAfterMutationEntities

Good job asserting concrete fields for create/update flows with the new loader API.


250-294: Good end-to-end check for multiple mutations in one transaction

This test nicely verifies ordering and payload shape for create/update/delete. Clear expectations.


486-513: Before-loader visibility within outer transaction is exercised well

This confirms the loader sees uncommitted changes inside the transaction. Nice.

  • getMutationInfo() method (lines 116-134) is well-structured using pattern matching
  • Transaction handling logic remains robust
  • The executor properly handles both in-transaction and out-of-transaction scenarios

Test file changes

  • Tests properly updated to use new API
  • Good coverage of different mutation types and transaction scenarios
  • Tests validate that query IDs are properly correlated between before/after hooks

Recommendations

  1. Documentation: Ensure migration guide exists for users upgrading from the filtered approach
  2. Performance monitoring: Consider adding metrics to monitor if the always-intercept approach has meaningful performance impact
  3. Edge case testing: Verify behavior when loading functions are called multiple times

Overall Assessment ✅

This is a well-executed refactoring that significantly simplifies the entity mutation hooks API. The changes are internally consistent, maintain type safety, and improve the developer experience by removing complex filtering logic. The lazy loading approach is generally more efficient and flexible than the previous pre-loading mechanism.

The breaking change nature is clearly intentional and the simplification benefits outweigh the migration costs. The code quality is high and the implementation appears robust.
