Since we are already providing the first and only argument
manually, we might as well instantiate the object manually.
Same effect, same coupling, less code.
This lets us register the former during installation, where the
latter is not yet registered.
That, in turn, means we can finally re-enable the StartSession
middleware in the installer app, which we need to log in the new
admin user when installation is complete.
Most things we need, we can instantiate directly.
This means we have to do less tweaking in service providers that
are meant to provide services to a complete Flarum application
(that has already been installed properly), to make them work with
the uninstalled app.
The uninstalled app (the "installer") can now do only the
bootstrapping it needs to build a light-weight web and console
application, respectively.
These are not necessary to be available so broadly. In fact, they
seem to make it too easy to use them, which has lead to some sub-
optimal architecture decisions.
Their equivalents have been moved to the classes where used.
Depending on the state of the Flarum installation (installed, not
installed, currently upgrading, maintenance mode), we should enable
different sets of service providers.
For example, during installation we should not resolve a setting
repository from the container. This new architecture lets us do so,
but we can easily (and cleanly) register a different implementation
during installation.
This should prevent problems such as #1370 in the future.
These are completely distinct functionalities, toggled through the
system-wide debug flag. By moving the selection of the middleware
to use to the place where the middleware pipe is built, we make
the middleware itself be unaware of these flags. The two classes
are more focused on what they are doing, with the constructor
dependencies clearly representing their requirements.
In addition, this means we can just use the HandleErrorsWithWhoops
middleware in the installer, which means we do not need to worry
about how to inject a SettingsRepositoryInterface implementation
when flarum is not yet set up.
This method relies on the "view" being bound in the IoC container.
This is only guaranteed after all register() methods have run, thus
it should be done in boot().
Refactor Frontend + Asset code
- Use Laravel's Filesystem component for asset IO, meaning theoretically
assets should be storable on S3 etc.
- More reliable checking for asset recompilation when debug mode is on,
so you don't have to constantly delete the compiled assets to force
a recompile. Should also fix issues with locale JS files being
recompiled with the same name and cached.
- Remove JavaScript minification, because it will be done by Webpack
(exception is for the TextFormatter JS).
- Add support for JS sourcemaps.
- Separate frontend view and assets completely. This is an important
distinction because frontend assets are compiled independent of a
request, whereas putting together a view depends on a request.
- Bind frontend view/asset factory instances to the container (in
service providers) rather than subclassing. Asset and content
populators can be added to these factories – these are simply objects
that populate the asset compilers or the view with information.
- Add RouteHandlerFactory functions that make it easy to hook up a
frontend controller with a frontend instance ± some content.
- Remove the need for "nojs"
- Fix cache:clear command
- Recompile assets when settings/enabled extensions change
Casting an object to an array does not have the intended effect of
wrapping the object in an array. Instead we need to explicitly check
if the returned value is an array or not.
* Run extenders exported by extensions
* Add some basic extenders
* Patch Mithril as the very first thing so extension code can run safely
* Load the payload into the app before booting extensions
* Setup default routes before booting extensions
In the future we may have multiple Formatters, so by moving the config
callback to its own instance method we can leave the constructor
available to specify which formatter (like Assets and Routes). This
format also allows for other methods to be added.
Additionally, this adds logic to automatically flush the Formatter cache
whenever the extension is enabled or disabled.
* Replace gulp with webpack and npm scripts for JS compilation
* Set up Travis CI to commit compiled JS
* Restructure `js` directory; only one instance of npm, forum/admin are "submodules"
* Refactor JS initializers into Application subclasses
* Maintain partial compatibility API (importing from absolute paths) for extensions
* Remove minification responsibility from PHP asset compiler
* Restructure `less` directory
