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
* 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
* 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
<\/script> tags in post content would sometimes be recognized as
actually ending the script tag, even when escaped (not exactly sure
why). This is fixed by encoding the < > characters in unicode.
* Added `language` and `direction` properties to WebAppView
* Use properties `language` and `direction` in app.blade.php
* Added WebAppView::setDescription to set the meta description
* Whoops! Changed "ltr" to \'ltr\'. Thanks StyleCI :)
* Removed unnecessary `= null` for
* Changed `.. ? .. : ..` to `.. ?: ..`. Useful thing right there ;)
Closes#268. Not going to bother with a preview SVG or anything fancy for now – we can think about that as part of #746. Right now it's just good to finally get this functionality in!
Also need to think about apple-touch-icon, msTile stuff, and social sharing image. Not sure if this is all too much for core, but it's definitely too much for the current Appearance page layout. Again, something to think about as part of #746.
Code is a bit rough around the edges, but figured there's not much point in using the command bus properly since #870.
- All custom JS variables are now preloaded into the `app.data` object, rather than directly on the `app` object. This means that admin settings are available in `app.data.settings` rather than `app.settings`, etc.
- Cleaner route handler generation
- Renamed ConfigureClientView to ConfigureWebApp, though the former still exists and is deprecated
- Partial fix for #881 (strips ?nojs=1 from URL if possible, so that refreshing will attempt to load JS version again)
- Extracts translations from `reset.blade.php`.
- Adjusts namespacing of translations in other files.
- Fixes one direct reference to a `core.ref` key.
- Use Symfony's Session component to work with sessions, instead of a custom database model. Separate the concept of access tokens from sessions once again.
- Extract common session/remember cookie logic into SessionAuthenticator and Rememberer classes.
- Extract AuthenticateUserTrait into a new AuthenticationResponseFactory class.
- Fix forgot password process.
- Use cookies + CSRF token for API authentication in the default client. This mitigates potential XSS attacks by making the token unavailable to JavaScript. The Authorization header is still supported, but not used by default.
- Make sensitive/destructive actions (editing a user, permanently deleting anything, visiting the admin CP) require the user to re-enter their password if they haven't entered it in the last 30 minutes.
- Refactor and clean up the authentication middleware.
- Add an `onhide` hook to the Modal component. (+1 squashed commit)
