- Return all discussion post IDs from API requests which add/remove
posts, so the post stream updates appropriately. Related to #146
- Always unload posts that are two pages away, no matter how fast
you’re scrolling
- Retrieve posts from cache instead of reloading them
- Fix various bugs. Maybe #152, needs confirmation
- Use contextual namespaces within Flarum\Core
- Clean up and docblock everything
- Refactor Activity/Notification blueprint stuff
- Refactor Formatter stuff
- Refactor Search stuff
- Upgrade to JSON-API 1.0
- Removed “addedPosts” and “removedPosts” relationships from discussion
API. This was used for adding/removing event posts after renaming a
discussion etc. Instead we should make an additional request to get all
new posts
Todo:
- Fix Extenders and extensions
- Get rid of repository interfaces
- Fix other bugs I’ve inevitably introduced
Explained in d1e7453ffd11d8b58672f6771e62c53e7441670b.
If we ever come up with a better way of doing this it should be easy to
change over, since modification of these properties by extensions is
abstracted by an Extend API.
This required some interface changes (mostly changing Laravel's or
Symfony's request and response classes to those of Zend's Diactoros.
Some smaller changes to the execution flow in a few of the abstract
action base classes, but nothing substantial.
Note: The request and response classes are immutable, so we usually
need to return new instances after modifying the old ones.
Also make some tweaks:
- Merge SerializeAction::$include and
SerializeAction::$includeAvailable into a keyed boolean array
- Set defaults for SerializeAction::$limit and $limitMax
- Rename SerializeAction::$sortAvailable to $sortFields
- An API action handles a Flarum\Api\Request, which is a simple object
containing an array of params, the actor, and optionally an HTTP
request object
- Most API actions use SerializeAction as a base, which parses request
input according to the JSON-API spec (creates a JsonApiRequest object),
runs the child class method to get data, then serializes it and assigns
it to a JsonApiResponse (standard HTTP response with a
Tobscure\JsonApi\Document as content)
- The JSON-API request input parsing is subject to restrictions as
defined by public static properties on the action (i.e. extensible)
- Also the actor is given to the serializer instance now, instead of
being a static property
New stuff:
- Signup + email confirmation.
- Updated authentication strategy with remember cookies. closes#5
- New search system with some example gambits! This is cool - check out
the source. Fulltext drivers will be implemented as decorators
overriding the EloquentPostRepository’s findByContent method.
- Lay down the foundation for bootstrapping the Ember app.
- Update Web layer’s asset manager to properly publish CSS/JS files.
- Console commands to run installation migrations and seeds.
Refactoring:
- New structure: move models, repositories, commands, and events into
their own namespaces, rather than grouping by entity.
- All events are classes.
- Use L5 middleware and command bus implementations.
- Clearer use of repositories and the Active Record pattern.
Repositories are used only for retrieval of ActiveRecord objects, and
then save/delete operations are called directly on those ActiveRecords.
This way, we don’t over-abstract at the cost of Eloquent magic, but
testing is still easy.
- Refactor of Web layer so that it uses the Actions routing
architecture.
- “Actor” concept instead of depending on Laravel’s Auth.
- General cleanup!
