Implemented our own migration repository + migrator (based on Laravel's
stuff) so that we can keep track of which migrations have been run for
core and per-extension. That way we can simple call the migrator to
upgrade core/extensions, and to uninstall extensions.
Parsing the post content makes it non-empty (`<t></t>`), so we don't
parse it if it is empty. Also delete a created discussion if the first
post was invalid.

The activity system we were using was built around a separate table.
Whenever the user posted something, or deleted a post, we would sync
the table. The advantage of this was that we could aggregate activity
of all different types very efficiently.
It turns out that it came with a huge disadvantage: there was no
efficient way to enforce permissions on activity. If a user posted
something in a private tag, everyone could still see it on their
activity feed. My stopgap solution was to only sync activity for posts
that are viewable by guests, but that was way too limited.
It also turns out that aggregating activity of different types is
really not that useful, especially considering most of it is the user
making posts. So I've gotten rid of that whole overly-complicated
system, and just made the user profile display separate lists of posts
and discussions, retrieved from those respective APIs. The discussions
page is an actual discussion list too, which is pretty cool.
It's still technically possible to aggregate different activity types
(basically just aggregate API responses together), but we can do that
later if there's a need for it.
This is probably my favourite commit of the day :)
- Fix composer crashing/not showing alert on error
- Make a general ValidationException which takes an array of field ⇒
messages to be outputted nicely by the API
- Return all discussion post IDs from API requests which add/remove
posts, so the post stream updates appropriately. Related to #146
- Always unload posts that are two pages away, no matter how fast
you’re scrolling
- Retrieve posts from cache instead of reloading them
- Fix various bugs. Maybe #152, needs confirmation
- Use contextual namespaces within Flarum\Core
- Clean up and docblock everything
- Refactor Activity/Notification blueprint stuff
- Refactor Formatter stuff
- Refactor Search stuff
- Upgrade to JSON-API 1.0
- Removed “addedPosts” and “removedPosts” relationships from discussion
API. This was used for adding/removing event posts after renaming a
discussion etc. Instead we should make an additional request to get all
new posts
Todo:
- Fix Extenders and extensions
- Get rid of repository interfaces
- Fix other bugs I’ve inevitably introduced
A good start I think, but still some work to do. If we go ahead with
https://github.com/flarum/core/issues/132#issuecomment-117507974 (which
I am in favour of), we can extract the entity-related stuff into some
smaller service providers (e.g. discussion repo, an event listener,
permissions, and gambits stuff could all go in
Flarum\Core\Discussions\DiscussionsServiceProvider).
Type hinting User should take place in the callbacks. Theoretically
these traits could be used for another project now, where something
else has permissions (like a Sheep class, or a number)
Also disallow the first post in a discussion to be deleted or hidden
(thus preventing discussions with zero posts)
