Since Mithril doesn't really offer granular redraw control, typing in a text input on a modal would trigger a redraw for the whole page (including the page content behind the modal) on every keystroke. This commit allows components to be "paused" so that their vdom subtree will be retained instead of reconstructed on subsequent redraws. When a modal is opened, we pause the main page component, and when it's closed, we unpause it. This means that while a modal is visible, only the content inside of the modal will be redrawn, dramatically improving performance.
Turns out there's a little more to the regression in e5a7013. First, we need to give the spaces in between list items a key too. Second, there's a bug in the latest Mithril code where using string keys can break the diffing algorithm. I've patched it manually in our dist JS files for now, and reported the issue: https://github.com/lhorie/mithril.js/issues/934
- In Mithril, `finally` has been removed from promise objects as it is not part of the ES spec. See https://gist.github.com/jish/e9bcd75e391a2b21206b for info on the substitute.
- Fix a regression introduced in e5a7013 which broke some redraws
Fixes#667. This issue was due to the fact that Mithril would change the "Lock" badge into a "Sticky" badge, but the tooltip initialization would not be triggered because it was using the same element. By maintaining element identity, the "Lock" badge will remain untouched, and a new element for the "Sticky" badge will be inserted before it. See https://lhorie.github.io/mithril/mithril.html#dealing-with-focus for more information.
- 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)
The default XHR error handler produce an alert which is appropriate to the response status code. It can be overridden per-request (by specifying the `errorHandler` option) so that the alert can be suppressed or displayed in a different position (e.g. inside a modal).
ref #118
We now use Symfony's Translation component. Yay! We get more powerful pluralisation and better a fallback mechanism. Will want to implement the caching mechanism at some point too. The API is replicated in JavaScript, which could definitely use some testing.
Validators have been refactored so that they are decoupled from models completely (i.e. they simply validate arrays of user input). Language packs should include Laravel's validation messages.
ref #267
- Reorganised all namespaces and class names for consistency and structure. Following PSR bylaws (Abstract prefix, Interface/Trait suffix).
- Move models into root of Core, because writing `use Flarum\Core\Discussion` is nice. Namespace the rest by type. (Namespacing by entity was too arbitrary.)
- Moved some non-domain stuff out of Core: Database, Formatter, Settings.
- Renamed config table and all references to "settings" for consistency.
- Remove Core class and add url()/isInstalled()/inDebugMode() as instance methods of Foundation\Application.
- Cleanup, docblocking, etc.
- Improvements to HTTP architecture
- API and forum/admin Actions are now actually all the same thing (simple PSR-7 Request handlers), renamed to Controllers.
- Upgrade to tobscure/json-api 0.2 branch.
- Where possible, moved generic functionality to tobscure/json-api (e.g. pagination links). I'm quite happy with the backend balance now re: #262
- Improvements to other architecture
- Use Illuminate's Auth\Access\Gate interface/implementation instead of our old Locked trait. We still use events to actually determine the permissions though. Our Policy classes are actually glorified event subscribers.
- Extract model validation into Core\Validator classes.
- Make post visibility permission stuff much more efficient and DRY.
- Renamed Flarum\Event classes for consistency. ref #246
- `Configure` prefix for events dedicated to configuring an object.
- `Get` prefix for events whose listeners should return something.
- `Prepare` prefix when a variable is passed by reference so it can be modified.
- `Scope` prefix when a query builder is passed.
- Miscellaneous improvements/bug-fixes. I'm easily distracted!
- Increase default height of post composer.
- Improve post stream redraw flickering in Safari by keying loading post placeholders with their IDs. ref #451
- Use a PHP JavaScript minification library for minifying TextFormatter's JavaScript, instead of ClosureCompilerService (can't rely on external service!)
- Use UrlGenerator properly in various places. closes#123
- Make Api\Client return Response object. closes#128
- Allow extensions to specify custom icon images.
- Allow external API/admin URLs to be optionally specified in config.php. If the value or "url" is an array, we look for the corresponding path inside. Otherwise, we append the path to the base URL, using the corresponding value in "paths" if present. closes#244
