- update actions ci
- include json for 4 spaces tab
- provide output int for process code exit
- adhere to parent type hint of builder
- mailer instance now needs a name, multiple can be instantiated
- getOriginal now uses mutators in the model
- Temporarily loosen MailableInterface requirements. This avoids an immediate BC break for classes in extensions that implement this interface.
- Temporarily provide (and autoload) old symfony translator interface
- make queue exception handler compatible with the contract of L8
- Update phpunit schema for newer version
- Update phpunit assert calls for newer version
* Rename `app` helper to `resolve`, deprecate old version
* Rename $this->app to $this->container in service providers
We no longer couple Flarum\Foundation\Application to the Laravel container; instead, we use the container separately. Changing our naming to reflect that will make things clearer.
* Write source map without creating temp file
Less I/O, and one less place where we access the global path helpers.
* Drop useless app_path() helper
This was probably taken straight from Laravel. There is no equivalent
concept in Flarum, so this should be safe to remove.
* Deprecate global path helpers
Developers using these helpers can inject the `Paths` class instead.
* Stop storing paths as strings in container
* Avoid using path helpers from Application class
* Deprecate path helpers from Application class
* Avoid using public_path() in prerequisite check
a) The comparison was already outdated, as a different path was passed.
b) We're trying to get rid of these global helpers.
- Stop trying to implement Laravel's Application contract, which
has no value for us.
- Stop inheriting from the Container, injecting one works equally
well and does not clutter up the interfaces.
- Inject the Paths collection instead of unwrapping it again, for
better encapsulation.
This brings us one step closer toward upgrading our Laravel
components (#2055), because we no longer need to adopt the changes
to the Application contract.
We had added a `storage/locale` directory to our skeleton, but we had
forgotten to hook it up with the translator. Enabling caching saves
parsing that locale YAML files on every pageload which should be good
for performance.
The locale cache will be cleared whenever an extension that uses the
`Locales` or `LanguagePack` extenders is enabled/disabled. If debug
mode is ON, then the caching mechanism will automatically check if any
of the loaded YAML files are dirty and update accordingly.
These are not necessary to be available so broadly. In fact, they
seem to make it too easy to use them, which has lead to some sub-
optimal architecture decisions.
Their equivalents have been moved to the classes where used.
Refactor Frontend + Asset code
- Use Laravel's Filesystem component for asset IO, meaning theoretically
assets should be storable on S3 etc.
- More reliable checking for asset recompilation when debug mode is on,
so you don't have to constantly delete the compiled assets to force
a recompile. Should also fix issues with locale JS files being
recompiled with the same name and cached.
- Remove JavaScript minification, because it will be done by Webpack
(exception is for the TextFormatter JS).
- Add support for JS sourcemaps.
- Separate frontend view and assets completely. This is an important
distinction because frontend assets are compiled independent of a
request, whereas putting together a view depends on a request.
- Bind frontend view/asset factory instances to the container (in
service providers) rather than subclassing. Asset and content
populators can be added to these factories – these are simply objects
that populate the asset compilers or the view with information.
- Add RouteHandlerFactory functions that make it easy to hook up a
frontend controller with a frontend instance ± some content.
- Remove the need for "nojs"
- Fix cache:clear command
- Recompile assets when settings/enabled extensions change
- All custom JS variables are now preloaded into the `app.data` object, rather than directly on the `app` object. This means that admin settings are available in `app.data.settings` rather than `app.settings`, etc.
- Cleaner route handler generation
- Renamed ConfigureClientView to ConfigureWebApp, though the former still exists and is deprecated
- Partial fix for #881 (strips ?nojs=1 from URL if possible, so that refreshing will attempt to load JS version again)
Even when no language packs are enabled, a forum-en-xxx.js (or whatever the default locale is) file is still generated because other extensions may contain translations. But when enabling the English language pack, since no locales are registered with the LocaleManager, that file doesn't get flushed and therefore doesn't get regenerated with the English translations. This fix always registers the default locale with the LocaleManager so that's not the case.
Since we'll be encouraging (requiring?) people to include an "en" translation in extensions they want to put on the Marketplace, we should have a further fallback to "en" if it can't find translations in the forum's default language. That way if people only use extensions from the Marketplace, they'll hardly ever see any key names.
Thanks to @dcsjapan for the suggestion.
We now use Symfony's Translation component. Yay! We get more powerful pluralisation and better a fallback mechanism. Will want to implement the caching mechanism at some point too. The API is replicated in JavaScript, which could definitely use some testing.
Validators have been refactored so that they are decoupled from models completely (i.e. they simply validate arrays of user input). Language packs should include Laravel's validation messages.
ref #267
This means that the expensive minification process will only be run for a file if it hasn't before. Greatly speeds up extension enabling/disabling.
Also:
- Don't check file last modification times in production for a bit of extra perf.
- Only flush CSS when theme settings are changed. This speeds up the page reload a bit.
- Reorganised all namespaces and class names for consistency and structure. Following PSR bylaws (Abstract prefix, Interface/Trait suffix).
- Move models into root of Core, because writing `use Flarum\Core\Discussion` is nice. Namespace the rest by type. (Namespacing by entity was too arbitrary.)
- Moved some non-domain stuff out of Core: Database, Formatter, Settings.
- Renamed config table and all references to "settings" for consistency.
- Remove Core class and add url()/isInstalled()/inDebugMode() as instance methods of Foundation\Application.
- Cleanup, docblocking, etc.
- Improvements to HTTP architecture
- API and forum/admin Actions are now actually all the same thing (simple PSR-7 Request handlers), renamed to Controllers.
- Upgrade to tobscure/json-api 0.2 branch.
- Where possible, moved generic functionality to tobscure/json-api (e.g. pagination links). I'm quite happy with the backend balance now re: #262
- Improvements to other architecture
- Use Illuminate's Auth\Access\Gate interface/implementation instead of our old Locked trait. We still use events to actually determine the permissions though. Our Policy classes are actually glorified event subscribers.
- Extract model validation into Core\Validator classes.
- Make post visibility permission stuff much more efficient and DRY.
- Renamed Flarum\Event classes for consistency. ref #246
- `Configure` prefix for events dedicated to configuring an object.
- `Get` prefix for events whose listeners should return something.
- `Prepare` prefix when a variable is passed by reference so it can be modified.
- `Scope` prefix when a query builder is passed.
- Miscellaneous improvements/bug-fixes. I'm easily distracted!
- Increase default height of post composer.
- Improve post stream redraw flickering in Safari by keying loading post placeholders with their IDs. ref #451
- Use a PHP JavaScript minification library for minifying TextFormatter's JavaScript, instead of ClosureCompilerService (can't rely on external service!)
- Use UrlGenerator properly in various places. closes#123
- Make Api\Client return Response object. closes#128
- Allow extensions to specify custom icon images.
- Allow external API/admin URLs to be optionally specified in config.php. If the value or "url" is an array, we look for the corresponding path inside. Otherwise, we append the path to the base URL, using the corresponding value in "paths" if present. closes#244
