SDK Version 1.10.0 Release

10 months ago by Derek Gervais

Version 1.10.0 of the Benchling SDK promotes many of the features in the benchling.apps package from beta to stable. Some significant changes were made as part of this final promotion: Dataset methods in benchling.v2.beta.datasets were removed and replaced by benchling.v2.beta.data_frames. Data Frames remain in v2-beta stability in the API.

What’s changing?

Added

  • Added support for the /assay-results:bulk-create API endpoint at benchling.assay_results.bulk_create
  • Benchling App Canvas now supports a data attribute for storing custom JSON data that will not be rendered to users
  • CanvasBuilder was extended with two new builder methods:
    • with_blocks()
    • with_data()

Changed

The benchling_sdk.apps package underwent major breaking changes promoting from beta to stable:

  • All contents promoted to stable EXCEPT two which remain in beta:
    • benchling_sdk.apps.config.mock_config
    • benchling_sdk.apps.helpers.webhook_helpers

Major code reorganization including:

  • Distributed the contents of benchling_sdk.apps.helpers.config_helpers across new files found in benchling_sdk.apps.config package
  • Distributed the contents of benchling_sdk.apps.helpers.canvas_helpers across new files found in benchling_sdk.apps.canvas package
  • Distributed the contents of benchling_sdk.apps.helpers.session_helpers across new files found in benchling_sdk.apps.status package
  • The benchling_sdk.apps.framework.App class now has App Config items accessible via the config_store property
  • benchling_sdk.apps.config.dependencies.DependencyLinkStore has been moved to benchling_sdk.apps.config.framework.ConfigItemStore

Other notable functional changes:

  • A Benchling Session Context (e.g., with app.create_session_context()) has new default behavior: If an App Canvas was attached to the session context, the Canvas will be updated with enabled=True on an Exception raised within the context
  • benchling.v2.beta.datasets were removed and replaced by benchling.v2.beta.data_frames. Data Frames provide the same functionality that previously existed with Datasets. They remain in v2-beta.
  • Benchling App Canvas TableUiBlocks should be created with a source of TableUiBlockDataFrameSource. For compatibility, TableUiBlockDatasetSource will continue to be accepted but converted to a DATA_FRAME source by the API until Datasets are available once again.

When is this happening?
