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().
fixes#1480
This is a suggestion to improve clarification of what a feature request on our issue tracker should entail.
Changes made:
- uppercased "IMPORTANT" instead of a "Note" to clarify the importance of the comment
- removed the "serious" related information, because users often have no scale to rate seriousness against
- brought more attention to approval by a core developer or argumentation and implementation by moving that to the front
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
