Core assets are copied into the root/assets directory on installation.
The contents of an "assets" directory within any extension is copied into root/assets/extensions/{name}/ whenever the extension is enabled, and deleted whenever the extension is uninstalled.
Still needs to be refactored
This means that the expensive minification process will only be run for a file if it hasn't before. Greatly speeds up extension enabling/disabling.
Also:
- Don't check file last modification times in production for a bit of extra perf.
- Only flush CSS when theme settings are changed. This speeds up the page reload a bit.
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
Adds app.trans calls for a couple strings in core:
- The "there are no discussions" message in DiscussionList.js
- The user deletion confirmation message in UserControls.js
- Also adds new HTML-style tags to LogInModal.js and SignUpModal.js
Adds app.trans calls for strings used by the admin UI.
- Strings for AddExtensionModal.js not included.
- Corresponding YAML will be sent later w/ more extracted strings.
