- Extract shared Ember components into a “flarum-common” ember-cli
addon. This can be used by both the forum + admin Ember apps, keeping
things DRY
- Move LESS styles into their own top-level directory and do a similar
thing (extract common styles)
- Add LESS/JS compilation and versioning to PHP (AssetManager)
- Set up admin entry point
(Theoretical) upgrade instructions:
- Delete everything in [app_root]/public
- Set up tooling in forum/admin Ember apps (npm install/update, bower
install/update) and then build them (ember build)
- php artisan vendor:publish
- Upgrade flarum/flarum repo (slight change in a config file)
- If you need to trigger a LESS/JS recompile, delete the .css/.js files
in [app_root]/public/flarum. I set up LiveReload to do this for me when
I change files in less/ or ember/
Todo:
- Start writing admin app!
- Remove bootstrap/font-awesome from repo and instead depend on their
composer packages? Maybe? (Bower is not an option here)
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!
