Get rid of Permissible - too complex and inefficient. Replace with:
- a “Locked” trait which works similarly but only evaluates logic on
hydrated models.
- a “VisibleScope” trait which also works similarly but only scopes
queries
This is all we need, Permissible is overkill. There is only one
instance where we have to duplicate some logic
(Discussion::scopeVisiblePosts and Post::allow(‘view’, …)) but it’s
barely anything.
Haven’t decoupled for now, we can definitely look at doing that later.
Permissions table seeder slightly updated.
Also did a bit of a query audit, there’s still a lot to be done but
it’s much better than it was. Some relatively low-hanging fruit
detailed in EloquentPostRepository.
New stuff:
- Signup + email confirmation.
- Updated authentication strategy with remember cookies. closes#5
- New search system with some example gambits! This is cool - check out
the source. Fulltext drivers will be implemented as decorators
overriding the EloquentPostRepository’s findByContent method.
- Lay down the foundation for bootstrapping the Ember app.
- Update Web layer’s asset manager to properly publish CSS/JS files.
- Console commands to run installation migrations and seeds.
Refactoring:
- New structure: move models, repositories, commands, and events into
their own namespaces, rather than grouping by entity.
- All events are classes.
- Use L5 middleware and command bus implementations.
- Clearer use of repositories and the Active Record pattern.
Repositories are used only for retrieval of ActiveRecord objects, and
then save/delete operations are called directly on those ActiveRecords.
This way, we don’t over-abstract at the cost of Eloquent magic, but
testing is still easy.
- Refactor of Web layer so that it uses the Actions routing
architecture.
- “Actor” concept instead of depending on Laravel’s Auth.
- General cleanup!
