* FEATURE: Small improvements to the topic list embed
- Ability to wrap the list in a custom class so you can styles different
lists using specific CSS
- Adds a topic link to the thumbnail when using the complete template
* FIX: Be more strict about allowed chars in class name
Zeitwerk simplifies working with dependencies in dev and makes it easier reloading class chains.
We no longer need to use Rails "require_dependency" anywhere and instead can just use standard
Ruby patterns to require files.
This is a far reaching change and we expect some followups here.
New site setting: `embed_any_origin` that will send postMessages to
wildcard origins `*` instead of the referer.
Most of the time you won't want to do this, so the setting is default to
`false`. However, there are certain situations where you want to allow
embedding to send post messages when there is no HTTP REFERER.
For example, if you created a native mobile app and you wanted to embed a list
of Discourse topics as HTML. In the code your HTML would be a
static file/string, which would not be able to send a referer. In this
case, the site setting will allow the embed to work.
From a security standpoint we currently only use `postMessage` to send
data about the size of the HTML document and scroll position, so it
should be enable if required with minimal security ramifications.
This adds support for a `<d-topics-list>` tag you can embed in your site
that will be rendered as a list of discourse topics. Any attributes on
the tag will be passed as filters. For example:
`<d-topics-list discourse-url="URL" category="1234">` will filter to category 1234.
To use this feature, enable the `embed topics list` site setting. Then
on the site you want to embed, include the following javascript:
`<script
src="http://URL/javascripts/embed-topics.js"></script>`
Where `URL` is your discourse forum's URL.
Then include the `<d-topics-list discourse-url="URL">` tag in your HTML document and it will
be replaced with the list of topics.
This reduces chances of errors where consumers of strings mutate inputs
and reduces memory usage of the app.
Test suite passes now, but there may be some stuff left, so we will run
a few sites on a branch prior to merging
* `rescue nil` is a really bad pattern to use in our code base.
We should rescue errors that we expect the code to throw and
not rescue everything because we're unsure of what errors the
code would throw. This would reduce the amount of pain we face
when debugging why something isn't working as expexted. I've
been bitten countless of times by errors being swallowed as a
result during debugging sessions.
When you specify `discourse_username` param on the embed URL, it should
translate to creating the post with that username.
This commit ensures that this is now the case.
