Spent quite a while looking into the best solution here and ended up going with three separate classes. Thanks to @Luceos for the PR that got this rolling (#518). My reasoning is:
- The task of routing and URL generation is independent for each section of the app. Take Flarum\Api\Users\IndexAction for example. I don't want to generate a URL to a Flarum route... I specifically want to generate a URL to an API route. So there should be a class with that specific responsibility.
- In fact, each URL generator is slightly different, because we need to add a certain prefix to the start (e.g. /api)
- This also allows us to get rid of the "flarum.api" prefix on each route's name.
- It's still DRY, because they all extend a base class.
At the same time, I could see no reason this needed to be "interfaced", so all of the classes are concrete.
Goes a long way to fixing #123 - still just a few places left remaining with hardcoded URLs.
And redirect to the "no JS" mode if the JS app crashes on boot.
ClientView/ClientAction is all a bit of a mess and will need to be
radically cleaned up at some point...
All of the modules we import should already be loaded, and we don't
want to ever attempt to import them anyway because we do not include a
Promise polyfill.
System JS modules don't execute when they're registered, so we need to
import them explicitly. While we're at it, we may as well make the
locale bootstrapper a module too.
- Get rid of Bootstrap (except we still rely on some JS)
- Use BEM class names
- Rework variables/theme config
- Fix various bugs, including some on mobile
The CSS is still not ideal – it needs to be cleaned up some more. But
that can be a focus for after beta.
- Use JSX for templates
- Docblock/comment everything
- Mostly passes ESLint (still some work to do)
- Lots of renaming, refactoring, etc.
CSS hasn't been updated yet.
Only preloading data for basic requests w/o query params, at least for
the moment - if we have to preload for something like
/?q=test&sort=newest, we end up having to duplicate a whole lot of
logic between JS/PHP.
