Experiment moving from preload tags in the document head to preload information the the response headers.
While this is a minor improvement in most browsers (headers are parsed before the response body), this allows smart proxies like Cloudflare to "learn" from those headers and build HTTP 103 Early Hints for subsequent requests to the same URI, which will allow the user agent to download and parse our JS/CSS while we are waiting for the server to generate and stream the HTML response.

This lets us use all our normal JS tooling like prettier, esline and babel on the splash screen JS. At runtime the JS file is read and inlined into the HTML. This commit also switches us to use a CSP hash rather than a nonce for the splash screen.
When `EMBER_CLI_PLUGIN_ASSETS=1`, plugin application JS will be compiled via Ember CLI. In this mode, the existing `register_asset` API will cause any registered JS files to be made available in `/plugins/{plugin-name}_extra.js`. These 'extra' files will be loaded immediately after the plugin app JS file, so this should not affect functionality.
Plugin compilation in Ember CLI is implemented as an addon, similar to the existing 'admin' addon. We bypass the normal Ember CLI compilation process (which would add the JS to the main app bundle), and reroute the addon Broccoli tree into a separate JS file per-plugin. Previously, Sprockets would add compiled templates directly to `Ember.TEMPLATES`. Under Ember CLI, they are compiled into es6 modules. Some new logic in `discourse-boot.js` takes care of remapping the new module names into the old-style `Ember.TEMPLATES`.
This change has been designed to be a like-for-like replacement of the old plugin compilation system, so we do not expect any breakage. Even so, the environment variable flag will allow us to test this in a range of environments before enabling it by default.
A manual silence implementation is added for the build-time `ember-glimmer.link-to.positional-arguments` deprecation while we work on a better story for plugins.
Previously, this would require manually adding `?safe_mode=...` multiple times during the email-based login flow. `/u/admin-login` is often used when debugging a site, so it makes sense for this to be easier.
This commit introduces a new checkbox on the `/u/admin-login` screen. When checked, it'll set the safe_mode parameter on the `/email-login` link, and then pass it all the way through to the homepage redirect.
- `no_custom` -> `no_themes` (history: before themes existed, we had a similar tool called 'customizations')
- `only_official` -> `no_unofficial_plugins` (matches format of `no_themes` and `no_plugins`, and makes it clear that this doesn't affect themes)
- `?safe_mode=no_themes%2C%no_plugins` -> `?safe_mode=no_themes,no_plugins` (the query portion of a URL does not require commas to be encoded. This is much nicer to read)
- If `no_plugins` is chosen from `/safe-mode` the URL generated will omit the superfluous `no_unofficial_plugins` flag
- Some tweaks to copy on `/safe-mode`

Follow up to: #17619
Context: https://meta.discourse.org/t/introducing-discourse-splash-a-visual-preloader-displayed-while-site-assets-load/232003/17
We previously relied on the user's browser when deciding when to show the splash in light/dark mode. This worked well but can fail if the user manually selects a theme with a default "dark" scheme.
This PR will now factor that in. If the user selects a theme with a default dark scheme, use that. If a user selects a theme with a "light" default scheme and also picks a secondary "dark" scheme, use the media detection we had before.
This PR also removes the dark mode theme-color that was added in the previous PR. That will now go in a separate PR
Context: https://meta.discourse.org/t/introducing-discourse-splash-a-visual-preloader-displayed-while-site-assets-load/232003/17
We currently set the theme secondary color as the background for the splash, and this works and respects light/dark modes.
The issue is that we set it on the #d-splash div. That div doesn't have a specified height and only gets its height when the splash image loads.
This can cause a flicker effect where the <HTML> background shows for a fraction of a second while the splash image loads.
This PR sets the theme color on the <HTML> tag to alleviate this. This allows us to set the theme color a little bit sooner and should hopefully prevent the flicker effect from happening.
This PR also adds the theme-color <meta> tag for dark mode. Browsers that don't support multiple theme-color tags will ignore the second tag and fall back to the first one.
This commit introduces a new plugin API to register
a group of stats that will be included in about.json
and also conditionally in the site about UI at /about.
The usage is like this:
```ruby
register_about_stat_group("chat_messages", show_in_ui: true) do
{
last_day: 1,
"7_days" => 10,
"30_days" => 100,
count: 1000,
previous_30_days: 120
}
end
```
In reality the stats will be generated any way the implementer
chooses within the plugin. The `last_day`, `7_days`, `30_days,` and `count`
keys must be present but apart from that additional stats may be added.
Only those core 4 stat keys will be shown in the UI, but everything will be shown
in about.json.
The stat group name is used to prefix the stats in about.json like so:
```json
"chat_messages_last_day": 2322,
"chat_messages_7_days": 2322,
"chat_messages_30_days": 2322,
"chat_messages_count": 2322,
```
The `show_in_ui` option (default false) is used to determine whether the
group of stats is shown on the site About page in the Site Statistics
table. Some stats may be needed purely for reporting purposes and thus
do not need to be shown in the UI to admins/users. An extension to the Site
serializer, `displayed_about_plugin_stat_groups`, has been added so this
can be inspected on the client-side.
The dots in the splash were previously hard-coded (v1). This PR makes progress towards making them be based on current theme colors.
Note that this is an improvement and not the "final" version. We're going to dynamically generate the splash file and the base64 URL later on.
This commit adds preload links for core/plugin/theme CSS stylesheets in the head.
Preload links are non-blocking and run in parallel. This means that they should have already been downloaded by the time we use the actual stylesheets (in the <body> tag).
Google is currently complaining about this here and this PR will address that warning.
This commit will also fix an issue in the splash screen where it sometimes doesn't respect the theme colors - causing a slightly jarring experience on dark themes.
Note that I opted not to add new specs because the underlying work required already has a lot of coverage. The new methods only change the output HTML so we can chuck that in the document <head>
This change also means that we can make all the stylesheets non-render blocking, but that will follow in a separate commit.
We previously used the window load event as a target to remove the splash. The issue with that is that it means we wait for images to download before we remove the splash.
Ember has a better method that we can use ready(). This PR triggers a custom discourse-ready when that happens and uses that as the baseline for removing the splash.
This PR also adds three new performance marks. discourse-ready, discourse-splash-visible, and discourse-splash-removed
These will help us keep track of performance.
Internal topic /t/65378/81
We previously relied on CSS animation-delay for the splash. This means that we can get inconsistent results based on device/network conditions.
This PR moves us to a more consistent timing based on {request time + 2 seconds}
Internal topic: /t/65378/65
We currently remove the splash screen once Discourse starts booting.
This can be an issue on very slow devices, which can take up to 6 seconds. This PR ensures that we don't remove the splash until the browser has finished parsing all of the site's assets. It won't impact fast devices.
Internal topic /t/65378/60
We use javascript to remove the splash screen when the site boots up. If the user has js disabled, they get stuck on the splash screen.
If the user has js disabled. We don't show the splash screen at all.

This commit does six things
* changes the animation for the splash screen. To a more subtle animation.
* defers displaying the splash by 1.5 seconds
* defers displaying the splash "loading" text by 2.5 seconds
* defers removing the splash until all Discourse initializers have run
* fixes a display issue in Firefox
* Inlines the SVG as a base64 and inlines the required CSS.
The encoded SVG is hard coded for now, but we will use a helper to generate that based on the file after some testing.
This PR introduces a new hidden site setting that allows admins to display a splash screen while site assets load.
The splash screen can be enabled via the `splash_screen` hidden site setting.
This is what the splash screen currently looks like
5ceb72f085.mp4
Once site assets load, the splash screen is automatically removed.
To control the loading text that shows in the splash screen, you can change the preloader_text translation string in admin > customize > text
On the password_reset error screen, it was totally unused
On the show_confirm_new_email screen, we can load the `vendor` bundle instead. Eventually we should move all this logic into the Ember app
Similar to #17145
This commit moves the SVG sprite container to the <discourse-assets> element.
There is 0 visual or functional changes in this PR. It just tidies up the element view in devTools.
This PR introduces 0 visual or functional changes. The only thing that it changes is that it moves the data-preloaded div (which has the app boot json into the <discourse-assets> element.
See #17078 for a bit more context.
The reason behind this change is that it makes devTools element view a little bit less cluttered.
This is related to #17063 and is also a pre-request for the splash screen work.
This PR introduces 0 visual or functional changes. It just relocates the stylesheets in the load order.
`.css` stylesheets block the browser render. We need to move those out of the <head> tag.
However, they still need to be loaded before core/plugin/theme rendered HTML to avoid FOUC.
This is pre-request work to introduce a splash screen while site assets load.
The only change this commit introduces is that it ensures we add the defer attribute to core/plugin/theme .JS files. This will allow us to insert markup before the browser starts evaluating those scripts later on. It has no visual or functional impact on core.
This will not have any impact on how themes and plugins work. The only exception is themes loading external scripts in the </head> theme field directly via script tags. Everything will work the same but those would need to add the defer attribute if they want to keep the benefits introduced in this PR.
This commit migrates all bookmarks to be polymorphic (using the
bookmarkable_id and bookmarkable_type) columns. It also deletes
all the old code guarded behind the use_polymorphic_bookmarks setting
and changes that setting to true for all sites and by default for
the sake of plugins.
No data is deleted in the migrations, the old post_id and for_topic
columns for bookmarks will be dropped later on.
The title had to be added both on the 404 page generated by the server
side, displayed when the user reaches a bad page directly and the 404
page rendered by Ember when a user reaches a missing topic while
navigating the forum.
We have a .ics endpoint for user bookmarks, this
commit makes it so polymorphic bookmarks work on
that endpoint, using the serializer associated with
the RegisteredBookmarkable.
- Make proxy pass `x-forward...` headers, so that Rails can set the host/port correctly in the csp
- Make `testem.js` available on a route which is within the app's default CSP
Previously, accessing the Rails app directly in development mode would give you assets from our 'legacy' Ember asset pipeline. The only way to run with Ember CLI assets was to run ember-cli as a proxy. This was quite limiting when working on things which are bypassed when using the ember-cli proxy (e.g. changes to `application.html.erb`). Also, since `ember-auto-import` introduced chunking, visiting `/theme-qunit` under Ember CLI was failing to include all necessary chunks.
This commit teaches Sprockets about our Ember CLI assets so that they can be used in development mode, and are automatically collected up under `/public/assets` during `assets:precompile`. As a bonus, this allows us to remove all the custom manifest modification from `assets:precompile`.
The key changes are:
- Introduce a shared `EmberCli.enabled?` helper
- When ember-cli is enabled, add ember-cli `/dist/assets` as the top-priority Rails asset directory
- Have ember-cli output a `chunks.json` manifest, and teach `preload_script` to read it and append the correct chunks to their associated `afterFile`
- Remove most custom ember-cli logic from the `assets:precompile` step. Instead, rely on Rails to take care of pulling the 'precompiled' assets into the `public/assets` directory. Move the 'renaming' logic to runtime, so it can be used in development mode as well.
- Remove fingerprinting from `ember-cli-build`, and allow Rails to take care of things
Long-term, we may want to replace Sprockets with the lighter-weight Propshaft. The changes made in this commit have been made with that long-term goal in mind.
tldr: when you visit the rails app directly, you'll now be served the current ember-cli assets. To keep these up-to-date make sure either `ember serve`, or `ember build --watch` is running. If you really want to load the old non-ember-cli assets, then you should start the server with `EMBER_CLI_PROD_ASSETS=0`. (the legacy asset pipeline will be removed very soon)
* FEATURE: Let sites add a sitemap.xml file.
This PR adds the same features discourse-sitemap provides to core. Sitemaps are only added to the robots.txt file if the `enable_sitemap` setting is enabled and `login_required` disabled.
After merging discourse/discourse-sitemap#34, this change will take priority over the sitemap plugin because it will disable itself. We're also using the same sitemaps table, so our migration won't try to create it
again using `if_not_exists: true`.
These were originally very similar, but have diverged over time. This makes it very difficult to manage styling.
This commit moves the noscript header and footer into partials so they can be reused in both the crawler view and the `<noscript>` view. It also makes browser-update render the noscript content **instead of** the `<section id='main'>`, rather than adding adding the noscript inside the `<section>`. This provides better parity with the server-rendered crawler view.
- Ensure the set of rendered `<link rel=stylesheet>` tags is consistent
- Add var() references for all crawler-view styles. Basic color definitions are defined first, as a fallback for super old browsers
* FEATURE: use canonical links in posts.rss feed
Previously we used non canonical links in posts.rss
These links get crawled frequently by crawlers when discovering new
content forcing crawlers to hop to non canonical pages just to end up
visiting canonical pages
This uses up expensive crawl time and adds load on Discourse sites
Old links were of the form:
`https://DOMAIN/t/SLUG/43/21`
New links are of the form
`https://DOMAIN/t/SLUG/43?page=2#post_21`
This also adds a post_id identified element to crawler view that was
missing.
Note, to avoid very expensive N+1 queries required to figure out the
page a post is on during rss generation, we cache that information.
There is a smart "cache breaker" which ensures worst case scenario is
a "page drift" - meaning we would publicize a post is on page 11 when
it is actually on page 10 due to post deletions. Cache holds for up to
12 hours.
Change only impacts public post RSS feeds (`/posts.rss`)
This makes a small improvement to 'cold cache' ember-cli build times, and a large improvement to 'warm cache' build times
The ember-auto-import update means that vendor is now split into multiple files for efficiency. These are named `chunk.*`, and should be included immediately after the `vendor.js` file. This commit also updates the rails app to render script tags for these chunks.
This change was previously merged, and caused memory-related errors on RAM-constrained machines. This was because Webpack 5 switches from multiple worker processes to a single multi-threaded process. This meant that it was hitting node's default heap size limit (~500mb on a 1GB RAM server). Discourse's standard install procedure recommends adding 2GB swap to 1GB-RAM machines, so we can afford to override's Node's default via the `--max-old-space-size` flag.
This reverts commit f4c6a61855 and a8325c9016
This update of ember-auto-import and webpack causes significantly higher memory use during rebuilds. This made ember-cli totally unusable on 1GB RAM / 2GB swap environments. We don't have a specific need for this upgrade right now, so reverting for now.

This reverts commit 2c7906999a.
The changes break some things in local development (putting JS files
into minified files, not allowing debugger, and others)
This reverts commit ea84a82f77.
This is causing problems with `/theme-qunit` on legacy, non-ember-cli production sites. Reverting while we work on a fix
This is quite complex as it means that in production we have to build
Ember CLI test files and allow them to be used by our Rails application.
There is a fair bit of glue we can remove in the future once we move to
Ember CLI completely.
A plugin API that allows customizing existing topic-backed static pages, like:
faq, tos, privacy (see: StaticController) The block passed to this
method has to return a SiteSetting name that contains a topic id.
```
add_topic_static_page("faq") do |controller|
current_user&.locale == "pl" ? "polish_faq_topic_id" : "faq_topic_id"
end
```
You can also add new pages in a plugin, but remember to add a route,
for example:
```
get "contact" => "static#show", id: "contact"
```
Under some conditions, these varied responses could lead to cache poisoning, hence the 'security' label.
Previously the Rails application would serve JSON data in place of HTML whenever Ember CLI requested an `application.html.erb`-rendered page. This commit removes that logic, and instead parses the HTML out of the standard response. This means that Rails doesn't need to customize its response for Ember CLI.
We have a couple of site setting, `slow_down_crawler_user_agents` and `slow_down_crawler_rate`, that are meant to allow site owners to signal to specific crawlers that they're crawling the site too aggressively and that they should slow down.
When a crawler is added to the `slow_down_crawler_user_agents` setting, Discourse currently adds a `Crawl-delay` directive for that crawler in `/robots.txt`. Unfortunately, many crawlers don't support the `Crawl-delay` directive in `/robots.txt` which leaves the site owners no options if a crawler is crawling the site too aggressively.
This PR replaces the `Crawl-delay` directive with proper rate limiting for crawlers added to the `slow_down_crawler_user_agents` list. On every request made by a non-logged in user, Discourse will check the User Agent string and if it contains one of the values of the `slow_down_crawler_user_agents` list, Discourse will only allow 1 request every N seconds for that User Agent (N is the value of the `slow_down_crawler_rate` setting) and the rest of requests made within the same interval will get a 429 response.
The `slow_down_crawler_user_agents` setting becomes quite dangerous with this PR since it could rate limit lots if not all of anonymous traffic if the setting is not used appropriately. So to protect against this scenario, we've added a couple of new validations to the setting when it's changed:
1) each value added to setting must 3 characters or longer
2) each value cannot be a substring of tokens found in popular browser User Agent. The current list of prohibited values is: apple, windows, linux, ubuntu, gecko, firefox, chrome, safari, applewebkit, webkit, mozilla, macintosh, khtml, intel, osx, os x, iphone, ipad and mac.
This commit adds token_hash and scopes columns to email_tokens table.
token_hash is a replacement for the token column to avoid storing email
tokens in plaintext as it can pose a security risk. The new scope column
ensures that email tokens cannot be used to perform a different action
than the one intended.
To sum up, this commit:
* Adds token_hash and scope to email_tokens
* Reuses code that schedules critical_user_email
* Refactors EmailToken.confirm and EmailToken.atomic_confirm methods
* Periodically cleans old, unconfirmed or expired email tokens
We have two JS assets which are included in the `<body>` of responses. We were including the `<link rel='preload'` hint alongside the script tag in the body. Instead, we can move the preload hint to the `<head>` so that the browser discovers it earlier, and can start preloading the assets while the body is loading.
Trying to use a local test hostname other than localhost
(e.g. discourse.test )for discourse development was difficult due
the fact that localhost was hardcoded in a few places. This patch
uses existing environment variables to allow a developer to use a
different domain when developing.

* FIX: do not display add to calendar for past dates
There is no value in saving past dates into calendar
* FIX: remove postId and move ICS to frontend
PostId is not necessary and will make the solution more generic for dates which doesn't belong to a specific post.
Also, ICS file can be generated in JavaScript to avoid calling backend.
In most cases, these links are handled in JavaScript, so the `href` and `target` are not used. However, when the `link-to-post` refers to a post which is not currently loaded in the DOM (e.g. it is the OP), then the href is used, and we need to add a `target` to prevent page navigation within the embed iframe.
It allows saving local date to calendar.
Modal is giving option to pick between ics and google. User choice can be remembered as a default for the next actions.
We don't need no stinkin' denormalization! This commit ignores
the topic_id column on bookmarks, to be deleted at a later date.
We don't really need this column and it's better to rely on the
post.topic_id as the canonical topic_id for bookmarks, then we
don't need to remember to update both columns if the bookmarked
post moves to another topic.
This was problematic if something like SCSS file throws an error as the
app would tell Ember CLI to bootstrap as if everything is fine and not
display the error.
The fix is to only hijack the rendering at the end of the template
instead of the beginning.
This commit updates the RSS post content to use email formatting. Many
plugins are using the `reduce_cooked` method to format content that is
not displayed outside of Discourse application. Using email formatting
also strips the secure media and various other things that is only meant
for Discourse client side application.
The modification date should always be a meta tag to make this less confusing. Especially for imported posts.
That's more in line with how the rest of Discourse presents post dates.
This adds an optional ENV variable, `EMBER_CLI_PROD_ASSETS`. If truthy,
compiling production assets will be done via Ember CLI and will replace
the assets Rails would otherwise use.
And also move all the "top topics by period" routes to query string param.
