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.
This required some interface changes (mostly changing Laravel's or
Symfony's request and response classes to those of Zend's Diactoros.
Some smaller changes to the execution flow in a few of the abstract
action base classes, but nothing substantial.
Note: The request and response classes are immutable, so we usually
need to return new instances after modifying the old ones.
- An API action handles a Flarum\Api\Request, which is a simple object
containing an array of params, the actor, and optionally an HTTP
request object
- Most API actions use SerializeAction as a base, which parses request
input according to the JSON-API spec (creates a JsonApiRequest object),
runs the child class method to get data, then serializes it and assigns
it to a JsonApiResponse (standard HTTP response with a
Tobscure\JsonApi\Document as content)
- The JSON-API request input parsing is subject to restrictions as
defined by public static properties on the action (i.e. extensible)
- Also the actor is given to the serializer instance now, instead of
being a static property
- In order to be consistent with the Ember/LESS naming scheme, renamed
Flarum\Web to Flarum\Forum.
- Moved common classes into Flarum\Support so that Flarum\Admin doesn’t
depend on Flarum\Forum. Also moved Actor into Flarum\Support as it
doesn’t belong in the domain.
New stuff:
- Signup + email confirmation.
- Updated authentication strategy with remember cookies. closes#5
- New search system with some example gambits! This is cool - check out
the source. Fulltext drivers will be implemented as decorators
overriding the EloquentPostRepository’s findByContent method.
- Lay down the foundation for bootstrapping the Ember app.
- Update Web layer’s asset manager to properly publish CSS/JS files.
- Console commands to run installation migrations and seeds.
Refactoring:
- New structure: move models, repositories, commands, and events into
their own namespaces, rather than grouping by entity.
- All events are classes.
- Use L5 middleware and command bus implementations.
- Clearer use of repositories and the Active Record pattern.
Repositories are used only for retrieval of ActiveRecord objects, and
then save/delete operations are called directly on those ActiveRecords.
This way, we don’t over-abstract at the cost of Eloquent magic, but
testing is still easy.
- Refactor of Web layer so that it uses the Actions routing
architecture.
- “Actor” concept instead of depending on Laravel’s Auth.
- General cleanup!
