This lets us or anyone modify the path from where dependencies (usually
installed into /vendor by Composer) are loaded. We need to be able to
tweak this in our integration tests, where the application code under
test needs access to certain dependencies.
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.
* Returning the $default value if there's no config
This is especially important for the CookieFactory which accesses
the configuration before the application is installed
* Injecting the configuration values into the CookieFactory
This class holds all information relevant to a local Flarum site,
such as paths and local configuration. From this information, it
is able to instantiate a Flarum\Foundation\Application instance,
which represents a Flarum installation's runtime.
This will also be useful for setting up e.g. multi-tenant
environments.
Falls back to a less effective minification library if ClosureCompilerService errors or is unavailable. Minification takes a while (20 seconds or so), but it only happens when assets are modified. Still, this means enabling/disabling extensions is taking far too long. Possible solutions:
- Don't minify initially; set a process running in the background to do minification, and server unminified assets in the meantime.
- Refactor compiler to send each JS file to CCS individually, only if that particular file has been modified.
flarum/gulp has also been updated to no longer support uglification.
closes#582
- 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
