This finally adopts the new standardized interfaces instead of the
work-in-progress ones with the `Interop\` prefix.
Since we have now updated to PHP 7.1, we can also use Stratigility
3.0 as the middleware dispatcher.
* Prevent saving invalid custom less
* Fix formatting
* Fix formatting again
* Move custom less format check to its own listener
* Move listener to AdminServiceProvider
* Rename listener method
Currently not user-customizable. Just needed to display statistics for a
client, so figured I'd make a start at this. Nothing too fancy for now,
but I'm sure some people will be happy to have this information at their
fingertips.
The various middleware can be registered in the service provider,
and the rest of the logic can all go through one single front
controller (index.php in flarum/flarum, and Flarum\Http\Server in
flarum/core).
This will also simplify the necessary server setup, as only one
rewrite rule remains.
* Fix dependency version constraint. (Reverts #1066.)
* Allow exceptions to be raised when dispatching middleware.
* Fix our error handler middleware (do not implement Stratigility's
error handler interface, catch exceptions instead).
See https://docs.zendframework.com/zend-stratigility/migration/to-v2/.
Closes#1069.
- 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)
Because extensions can have dependencies injected, a RouteCollection could potentially be instantiated, and thus the ConfigureRoutes event would be called before extensions have had a chance to subscribe to it. Instead, we instantiate the RouteCollection on demand, but only populate it when the application boots.
- 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)
If the version in the settings table mismatches the code version, then we return a 503 error for all requests coming through index.php and api.php, while admin.php serves up a form prompting for the database password which will run outstanding migrations.
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
This means that the expensive minification process will only be run for a file if it hasn't before. Greatly speeds up extension enabling/disabling.
Also:
- Don't check file last modification times in production for a bit of extra perf.
- Only flush CSS when theme settings are changed. This speeds up the page reload a bit.
- 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
