Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a transactional RPC endpoint for batched, sequential operations with atomic execution. Requests are POST-only, each operation is validated, results are serialized with metadata, structured errors are returned for failures, and the entire batch rolls back on error.
  • Tests

    • Added comprehensive tests covering multi-operation success, method and payload validation, per-operation serialization/deserialization, ORM error mapping, and rollback behavior.

Code Review Feedback

This PR adds transaction handling to the RPC API handler with sequential operations. Overall, it's a solid implementation with good validation and error handling. Here are my detailed findings:

✅ Strengths

Code Quality & Architecture

  • Clean separation of transaction logic in handleTransaction() method at packages/server/src/api/rpc/index.ts:198
  • Consistent error handling pattern matching the rest of the codebase
  • Proper TypeScript typing throughout
  • Good use of existing validation patterns and logging infrastructure

Input Validation

  • Comprehensive validation of operation structure at packages/server/src/api/rpc/index.ts:234-255
  • Proper model existence checking using isValidModel()
  • Operation whitelist validation with VALID_OPS set at packages/server/src/api/rpc/index.ts:215-232
  • Clear error messages with operation index for debugging

Test Coverage

  • Excellent test coverage in packages/server/test/api/rpc.test.ts:766-983 with 11 test cases
  • Tests cover happy path, validation errors, rollback scenarios, and edge cases
  • Good test data cleanup practices

⚠️ Areas for Improvement

Performance Considerations

  1. Sequential vs Parallel Execution (packages/server/src/api/rpc/index.ts:257-262)

    const promises = (requestBody as any[]).map((item) => {
        const model = lowerCaseFirst(item.model as string);
        const op = item.op as string;
        const args = item.args ?? {};
        return (client as any)[model][op](args);
    });
    • Creating promises immediately but executing them sequentially via $transaction() is good
    • Consider documenting that operations run sequentially (not in parallel) for clarity
  2. Validation Loop (packages/server/src/api/rpc/index.ts:234-255)

    • The upfront validation loop is efficient and prevents unnecessary work
    • Good practice to fail fast on invalid operations

Potential Issues

  1. Route Naming Inconsistency (packages/server/src/api/rpc/index.ts:76)

    if (model === TRANSACTION_ROUTE_PREFIX) {
        return this.handleTransaction({
    • The route is /$transaction/sequential in tests but handler doesn't check the operation part
    • Consider validating the full path or documenting that any operation after $transaction is ignored
  2. Type Safety (packages/server/src/api/rpc/index.ts:239,249,258-261)

    const { model: itemModel, op: itemOp, args: itemArgs } = item as any;
    // ...
    return (client as any)[model][op](args);
    • Heavy use of any types reduces type safety
    • Could benefit from defining proper TypeScript interfaces for operation structure
  3. Error Message Inconsistency

    • Some error messages use operation at index ${i} format, others don't
    • Consider consistent error message formatting throughout

Security

  1. Input Sanitization - ✅ Good

    • Proper validation of model names against schema
    • Operation whitelist prevents arbitrary method calls
    • Args validation ensures proper object types
  2. No Authorization Bypass - ✅ Good

    • Uses the same client instance, so existing access controls apply
    • No privilege escalation concerns

Missing Features/Documentation

  1. Request Body Processing

    • Transaction operations don't go through processRequestPayload() for SuperJSON deserialization
    • This means complex data types (Decimal, BigInt, etc.) may not work in transactions
    • Consider adding: const { result: processedArgs, error } = await this.processRequestPayload(itemArgs);
  2. Logging Consistency

    • Good debug logging for transaction start/success at packages/server/src/api/rpc/index.ts:265,276-280
    • Could add individual operation logging for better debugging

🔧 Suggestions

High Priority

  1. Add SuperJSON Support: Process args through processRequestPayload() to handle complex data types consistently
  2. Define TypeScript Interfaces: Create proper types for transaction operations instead of using any

Medium Priority

  1. Route Validation: Either validate the full transaction route or document the current behavior
  2. Error Message Consistency: Standardize error message format across all validations

Low Priority

  1. Enhanced Logging: Consider logging individual operations within transactions for debugging
  2. Documentation: Add JSDoc comments explaining the sequential execution behavior

Example Improvement

interface TransactionOperation {
    model: string;
    op: string;
    args?: Record<string, unknown>;
}

// In handleTransaction method, process args:
for (const item of requestBody) {
    if (item.args) {
        const { result: processedArgs, error } = await this.processRequestPayload(item.args);
        if (error) {
            return this.makeBadInputErrorResponse(`operation at index ${i}: ${error}`);
        }
        item.args = processedArgs;
    }
}

Summary

This is a well-implemented feature with solid validation, good test coverage, and proper error handling. The main areas for improvement are adding SuperJSON support for complex data types and improving type safety. The code follows established patterns in the codebase and maintains security best practices.

Recommended Action: Approve with suggested improvements, particularly the SuperJSON support for data consistency.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a $transaction RPC route and a sequential transaction handler that validates POSTed arrays of operations, verifies ops/models, batches calls into client.$transaction, serializes results with SuperJSON, and returns structured success or error responses; includes tests and a package.json update.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Transaction Handler Implementation
packages/server/src/api/rpc/index.ts
Adds TRANSACTION_ROUTE_PREFIX = "$transaction", imports CoreCrudOperations, introduces VALID_OPS, routes transaction requests to a new handleTransaction method, enforces POST and "sequential" type, validates and processes each operation, executes client.$transaction for batched calls, serializes results with SuperJSON, and extends logging/error mapping (including ORM errors).
Tests & Manifest
packages/server/test/api/rpc.test.ts, package.json
Adds tests covering /$transaction/sequential (method restrictions, body shape, unknown models/invalid ops, missing fields, ORM validation errors, per-operation SuperJSON deserialization, successful multi-op transaction, rollback behavior). Updates package.json manifest lines.

Poem

🐇 I stitched a trail of ops in careful rows,
One POST, one list, each argument it knows.
Wrapped results in light, all saved or none,
If one should stumble, back to start we run.
A tiny rabbit cheers — transaction done. 🥕

10-12: Constant declaration interleaved with import statements.

TRANSACTION_ROUTE_PREFIX on Line 11 is wedged between two import lines. Move it after all imports for clarity and to avoid linter issues.

 import { loggerSchema } from '../common/schemas';
 import { processSuperJsonRequestPayload, unmarshalQ } from '../common/utils';
 import { log, registerCustomSerializers } from '../utils';

215-232: VALID_OPS is re-created on every call — hoist to module level.

766-983: Good test coverage overall, but consider adding two edge cases.

The transaction test suite thoroughly validates input shape, routing, error propagation, and rollback. Two notable gaps:

  1. No test for an invalid transaction type (e.g., /$transaction/parallel). Since the implementation currently ignores the op segment of the path, this test would help enforce correct behavior once the validation is added.

  2. No test for SuperJSON-serialized args within a transaction (e.g., operations involving BigInt, Date, Decimal). The field types test covers this for regular CRUD, but the same path isn't exercised in the transaction handler — which would expose the missing deserialization noted in the implementation review.

In `@packages/server/src/api/rpc/index.ts`:
- Around line 257-267: The mapping that builds promises from requestBody (using
lowerCaseFirst and calling (client as any)[model][op](args)) must be moved
inside the try block so synchronous throws are caught; relocate the promises
creation into the try before logging and awaiting client.$transaction (or wrap
the mapping in a try), ensuring the code still uses the same variable name
promises and then awaits client.$transaction(promises as any).
- Around line 234-262: The transaction path validates each operation but never
deserializes per-operation args with SuperJSON, so in the transaction invocation
you must pass item.args through this.processRequestPayload to restore
Date/BigInt/Decimal/Bytes etc. Update the validation/invocation in the
transaction handler (the loop and the promises mapping that reference item,
lowerCaseFirst, VALID_OPS and (client as any)[model][op](args)) to call
this.processRequestPayload(item.args) (or process the args with the same logic
used by processRequestPayload) before using them; keep using
makeBadInputErrorResponse for invalid arg shapes and ensure the mapped args
variable is the deserialized result when invoking (client as any)[model][op].
- Around line 76-82: handleRequest currently parses the op segment (op) from the
path but never passes it to handleTransaction, so any sub-path under
TRANSACTION_ROUTE_PREFIX is accepted; modify the call in handleRequest to pass
op to handleTransaction (e.g., include op in the object) and update
handleTransaction to validate op against allowed values (at least accept
"sequential" or a set of supported modes) and return a 4xx error for unsupported
ops; locate references to handleRequest, handleTransaction, op, and
TRANSACTION_ROUTE_PREFIX in the diff to implement the change and ensure behavior
is explicit rather than silently ignoring the operation segment.

  • Read and analyze the test file changes
  • Review code quality and best practices
  • Check for potential bugs or issues
  • Evaluate performance considerations
  • Assess security concerns
  • Review test coverage and quality
  • Provide comprehensive feedback

Code Review Feedback

This PR adds transaction handling to the RPC API handler with sequential operations. Overall, it's a solid implementation with good validation and error handling. Here are my detailed findings:

✅ Strengths

Code Quality & Architecture

  • Clean separation of transaction logic in handleTransaction() method at packages/server/src/api/rpc/index.ts:217
  • Consistent error handling pattern matching the rest of the codebase
  • Proper TypeScript typing throughout
  • Good use of existing validation patterns and logging infrastructure

Input Validation

  • Comprehensive validation of operation structure at packages/server/src/api/rpc/index.ts:242-268
  • Proper model existence checking using isValidModel()
  • Operation whitelist validation with VALID_OPS set at packages/server/src/api/rpc/index.ts:15-32
  • Clear error messages with operation index for debugging

SuperJSON Support

  • EXCELLENT: The implementation now properly processes each operation's args through processRequestPayload() at packages/server/src/api/rpc/index.ts:264-267
  • This ensures complex data types (Date, BigInt, Decimal, etc.) are correctly deserialized
  • Test coverage validates this works correctly at packages/server/test/api/rpc.test.ts:953-1000

Transaction Type Validation

  • EXCELLENT: The handler now validates the transaction type at packages/server/src/api/rpc/index.ts:232-234
  • Only sequential is supported, with clear error message for unsupported types
  • The type parameter is properly passed from handleRequest at packages/server/src/api/rpc/index.ts:98

Test Coverage

  • Excellent test coverage in packages/server/test/api/rpc.test.ts:766-1032 with comprehensive test cases:
    • Happy path sequential execution
    • HTTP method validation (POST-only)
    • Request body validation (array, non-empty)
    • Model and operation validation
    • SuperJSON deserialization testing
    • Rollback behavior validation
    • ORM error handling

⚠️ Minor Areas for Improvement

Code Organization

  • The VALID_OPS constant at packages/server/src/api/rpc/index.ts:15-32 is well-placed at module level (good performance)
  • Constants are properly organized after imports

Error Handling

  • Promise creation is now safely inside the try block at packages/server/src/api/rpc/index.ts:271-274
  • Proper error propagation and rollback handling

Performance Considerations

  1. Sequential Execution (packages/server/src/api/rpc/index.ts:272-278)

    • Operations are executed sequentially via client.$transaction() which is correct for atomicity
    • The implementation efficiently creates promises upfront then executes them atomically
  2. Validation Efficiency (packages/server/src/api/rpc/index.ts:242-268)

    • The validation loop processes each operation individually, which is appropriate
    • SuperJSON processing per operation is necessary for correctness

🔒 Security Analysis

Input Sanitization - ✅ Excellent

  • Proper validation of model names against schema at packages/server/src/api/rpc/index.ts:257
  • Operation whitelist prevents arbitrary method calls via VALID_OPS validation
  • Args validation ensures proper object types at packages/server/src/api/rpc/index.ts:260-262

Authorization - ✅ Good

  • Uses the same client instance, so existing access controls apply
  • No privilege escalation concerns
  • Transaction operations go through the same security layer as individual operations

Type Safety - ✅ Improved

  • Good use of TypeScript interfaces in the method signature at packages/server/src/api/rpc/index.ts:222-227
  • Controlled use of any types only where necessary for dynamic client access

📊 Test Coverage Analysis

Comprehensive Coverage

The test suite covers all critical scenarios:

  1. Happy Path: Sequential execution with multiple operations (packages/server/test/api/rpc.test.ts:767-808)
  2. Validation: HTTP method, body structure, model/operation validation (packages/server/test/api/rpc.test.ts:810-898)
  3. Error Handling: ORM validation errors and rollback scenarios (packages/server/test/api/rpc.test.ts:900-1031)
  4. SuperJSON: Complex data type serialization/deserialization (packages/server/test/api/rpc.test.ts:953-1000)
  5. Atomicity: Rollback behavior when operations fail (packages/server/test/api/rpc.test.ts:1002-1031)

Test Quality

  • Good test data cleanup practices
  • Clear test descriptions and expectations
  • Proper use of test harness with makeHandler()

🎯 Final Assessment

This is a well-implemented feature that addresses all the concerns raised in previous reviews:

Resolved Issues

  • ✅ SuperJSON support added for complex data types
  • ✅ Transaction type validation implemented
  • ✅ Promise creation moved inside try block
  • ✅ Comprehensive test coverage including edge cases
  • ✅ Proper error handling and rollback behavior

Code Quality Score: 9/10

  • Excellent validation and error handling
  • Good architectural patterns
  • Comprehensive test coverage
  • Proper security considerations

undefined but returns a bad-input response when itemArgs is null, not an object,

  • Proper error propagation and rollback handling

Performance Considerations

  1. Sequential Execution (packages/server/src/api/rpc/index.ts:272-278)

    • Operations are executed sequentially via client.$transaction() which is correct for atomicity
    • The implementation efficiently creates promises upfront then executes them atomically
  2. Validation Efficiency (packages/server/src/api/rpc/index.ts:242-268)

    • The validation loop processes each operation individually, which is appropriate
    • SuperJSON processing per operation is necessary for correctness

🔒 Security Analysis

Input Sanitization - ✅ Excellent

  • Proper validation of model names against schema at packages/server/src/api/rpc/index.ts:257
  • Operation whitelist prevents arbitrary method calls via VALID_OPS validation
  • Args validation ensures proper object types at packages/server/src/api/rpc/index.ts:260-262

Authorization - ✅ Good

  • Uses the same client instance, so existing access controls apply
  • No privilege escalation concerns
  • Transaction operations go through the same security layer as individual operations

Type Safety - ✅ Improved

  • Good use of TypeScript interfaces in the method signature at packages/server/src/api/rpc/index.ts:222-227
  • Controlled use of any types only where necessary for dynamic client access

📊 Test Coverage Analysis

Comprehensive Coverage

The test suite covers all critical scenarios:

  1. Happy Path: Sequential execution with multiple operations (packages/server/test/api/rpc.test.ts:767-808)
  2. Validation: HTTP method, body structure, model/operation validation (packages/server/test/api/rpc.test.ts:810-898)
  3. Error Handling: ORM validation errors and rollback scenarios (packages/server/test/api/rpc.test.ts:900-1031)
  4. SuperJSON: Complex data type serialization/deserialization (packages/server/test/api/rpc.test.ts:953-1000)
  5. Atomicity: Rollback behavior when operations fail (packages/server/test/api/rpc.test.ts:1002-1031)

Test Quality

  • Good test data cleanup practices
  • Clear test descriptions and expectations
  • Proper use of test harness with makeHandler()

🎯 Final Assessment

This is a well-implemented feature that addresses all the concerns raised in previous reviews:

Resolved Issues

243-245: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

args validation still silently accepts arrays.

typeof [] === 'object', so an array payload for args passes the current check. CRUD operations expect a plain object; arrays should be rejected explicitly.

🛡️ Proposed fix
-            if (itemArgs !== undefined && itemArgs !== null && typeof itemArgs !== 'object') {
+            if (itemArgs !== undefined && itemArgs !== null && (typeof itemArgs !== 'object' || Array.isArray(itemArgs))) {
                 return this.makeBadInputErrorResponse(`operation at index ${i} has invalid "args" field`);
             }

15-15: Simplify the double cast for VALID_OPS.

CoreCrudOperations is typed as string[], so the double cast is unnecessary. Use new Set<string>(CoreCrudOperations) instead.

-const VALID_OPS = new Set(CoreCrudOperations as unknown as string[]);
+const VALID_OPS = new Set<string>(CoreCrudOperations);

I think we can add transaction support to the tanstack hooks too. Shall we create a feature request first?
