Since Mithril doesn't really offer granular redraw control, typing in a text input on a modal would trigger a redraw for the whole page (including the page content behind the modal) on every keystroke. This commit allows components to be "paused" so that their vdom subtree will be retained instead of reconstructed on subsequent redraws. When a modal is opened, we pause the main page component, and when it's closed, we unpause it. This means that while a modal is visible, only the content inside of the modal will be redrawn, dramatically improving performance.
Turns out there's a little more to the regression in e5a7013. First, we need to give the spaces in between list items a key too. Second, there's a bug in the latest Mithril code where using string keys can break the diffing algorithm. I've patched it manually in our dist JS files for now, and reported the issue: https://github.com/lhorie/mithril.js/issues/934
- In Mithril, `finally` has been removed from promise objects as it is not part of the ES spec. See https://gist.github.com/jish/e9bcd75e391a2b21206b for info on the substitute.
- Fix a regression introduced in e5a7013 which broke some redraws
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
