- Simpler class naming:
Frontend\CompilerFactory → Frontend\Assets
Frontend\HtmlDocumentFactory → Frontend\Frontend
Frontend\HtmlDocument → Frontend\Document
- Remove AssetInterface and simply collect callbacks in Frontend\Assets
instead
- Remove ContentInterface because it serves no purpose (never type-
hinted or type-checked)
- Commit and add asset URLs to the Document via a content callback
instead of in the Document factory class itself
- Add translations and locale assets to Assets separate to the assets
factory, as non-forum/admin asset bundles probably won't want them
- Update Frontend Extender to allow the creation of new asset bundles
- Make custom LESS validation listener a standalone class instead of
extending RecompileFrontendAssets
* Remove AbstractOAuth2Controller
There is no reason to provide an implementation for a specific oAuth2
library in core; it's not generic enough (eg. auth-twitter can't use it).
This code could be moved into another package which auth extensions
depend on, but it's a negligible amount of relatively simple code that
I don't think it's worth the trouble.
* Introduce login providers
Users can have many login providers (a combination of a provider name
and an identifier for that user, eg. their Facebook ID).
After retrieving user data from a provider (eg. Facebook), you pass the
login provider details into the Auth\ResponseFactory. If an associated
user is found, a response that logs them in will be returned. If not, a
registration token will be created so the user can proceed to sign up.
Once the token is fulfilled, the login provider will be associated with
the user.
By moving the DispatchRoute middleware into an `afterResolving`
callback, this will allow a new Middleware extender to add a `resolving`
callback to the appropriate container binding, removing the need for the
ConfigureMiddleware event.
The ConfigureMiddleware event has been deprecated and should be removed
in beta 9.
Since we are already providing the first and only argument
manually, we might as well instantiate the object manually.
Same effect, same coupling, less code.
These are completely distinct functionalities, toggled through the
system-wide debug flag. By moving the selection of the middleware
to use to the place where the middleware pipe is built, we make
the middleware itself be unaware of these flags. The two classes
are more focused on what they are doing, with the constructor
dependencies clearly representing their requirements.
In addition, this means we can just use the HandleErrorsWithWhoops
middleware in the installer, which means we do not need to worry
about how to inject a SettingsRepositoryInterface implementation
when flarum is not yet set up.
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
Symfony's component relies on PHP's native session functionality, which
is not ideal. It automatically sets its own cookie headers, resulting in
this issue: https://github.com/flarum/core/issues/1084#issuecomment-364569953
The Illuminate component is more powerful and has a simpler API for
extension with other drivers and such, and fits in nicely with other
components we use (the majority of which are from Illuminate).
This prevents garbage collection to randomly break the installer:
before installation, the models that are being accessed have no
database connection.
Now, the middleware is only mounted into the forum's middleware
stack. I want API requests to have stable performance, and the
forum middleware stack is only mounted when Flarum is installed.
