* 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a) The comparison was already outdated, as a different path was passed.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.
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.
This is probably the most complicated way I could find to fix#1587.
Jokes aside, this was done with a few goals in mind:
- Reduce coupling between the installer and the rest of Flarum's
"Application", which we are building during installation.
- Move the installer logic to several smaller classes, which can then
be used by the web frontend and the console task, instead of the
former hacking its way into the latter to be "DRY".
- Separate installer infrastructure (the "pipeline", with the ability
to revert steps upon failure) from the actual steps being taken.
The problem was conceptual, and would certainly re-occur in a similar
fashion if we wouldn't tackle it at its roots.
It is fixed now, because we no longer use the ExtensionManager for
enabling extensions, but instead duplicate some of its logic. That is
fine because we don't want to do everything it does, e.g. omit
extenders' lifecycle hooks (which depend on the Application instance
being complete).

This method relies on the "view" being bound in the IoC container.
This is only guaranteed after all register() methods have run, thus
it should be done in boot().
This affects version numbers, extensions and paths, which might be
skeleton-specific. This commit moves those hardcoded values out of
the classes and instead injects them through the constructor. This
way, all prerequisites can be configured in the service provider.
- 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
