We need to fire the PostWasDeleted event for every post when a
discussion is deleted. This means deleting big discussions will be an
intensive process, but that’s OK because it’s very rare.
Explained in d1e7453ffd11d8b58672f6771e62c53e7441670b.
If we ever come up with a better way of doing this it should be easy to
change over, since modification of these properties by extensions is
abstracted by an Extend API.
All routes are now stored in a RouteCollection, which is then used
for dispatching by the (reusable) RouterMiddleware.
This change also entails moving all routes to the service providers.
This may be changed again later, and is done for convenience reasons
right now.
@franzliedke I didn’t realise that static properties are static to the
class they are defined on, and not each individual subclass. All of the
static members of the SerializeAction class (which are intended for
extensions to alter per-action) are being inherited by all actions.
Any ideas on how to work around this other than defining every static
member on each individual subclass?
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.
Ditched the idea of having language packs as extensions. Reasoning:
1. Because we use machine keys for translations (rather than English
keys), extensions need to be able to define default translations. If
English translations are to be included in extensions and not in a
language pack extension, then it doesn’t make sense to have other
languages as language pack extensions. Inconsistency → complexity.
2. Translations should maintain version parity with their respective
extensions. There’s no way to do this if extension translations are
external to the extension.
Instead, localisation will be a core effort, as well as a per-extension
effort. Translators will be encouraged to send PRs to core + extensions.
In core, each locale has a directory containing three files:
- translations.yml
- config.js: contains pluralisation logic for the JS app, as well as
moment.js localisation if necessary
- config.php: contains pluralisation logic for the PHP app
Extensions can use the Flarum\Extend\Locale extender to add/override
translations/config to a locale.
Asset compilation has been completely refactored with a better
architecture. Translations + config.js are compiled and cached for the
currently active locale.
