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
Casting an object to an array does not have the intended effect of
wrapping the object in an array. Instead we need to explicitly check
if the returned value is an array or not.
* Run extenders exported by extensions
* Add some basic extenders
* Patch Mithril as the very first thing so extension code can run safely
* Load the payload into the app before booting extensions
* Setup default routes before booting extensions
In the future we may have multiple Formatters, so by moving the config
callback to its own instance method we can leave the constructor
available to specify which formatter (like Assets and Routes). This
format also allows for other methods to be added.
Additionally, this adds logic to automatically flush the Formatter cache
whenever the extension is enabled or disabled.
* Replace gulp with webpack and npm scripts for JS compilation
* Set up Travis CI to commit compiled JS
* Restructure `js` directory; only one instance of npm, forum/admin are "submodules"
* Refactor JS initializers into Application subclasses
* Maintain partial compatibility API (importing from absolute paths) for extensions
* Remove minification responsibility from PHP asset compiler
* Restructure `less` directory
Mostly, we only need a database connection, instead of one of
Laravel's "connection resolvers".
Again, this makes our life easier during installation, where
we already instantiate a database connection. We can now use
that to instantiate our own Migrator class, instead of using
the IoC container to build one.
This removes the funky auto-injection capability from migration
closures. While technically removing a feature, this means we do
not need a fully-wired IoC container e.g. during installation.
Instead, all migration closures simply receive a schema builder
object (which is what most of them were already doing anyway).
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.
This will be the last PHP requirement upgrade for a while, at least
until stable (and therefore until the next major release).
We have decided to do this now, for the following reasons:
- We want to support MariaDB (and the compatible release of
doctrine/dbal requires 7.1 as well).
- We prefer to upgrade to Laravel 5.6 sooner rather than later.
- Using the PSR-15 middleware standard is easier this way, as we do
not have to switch from zend-stratigility to another PSR-15
implementation. (Stratigility v3, which implements the final
standard, requires 7.1.)
* added CreatePostControllerTest
* added DeleteDiscussionControllerTest
* added ListDiscussionControllerTest
* added TokenControllerTest
* minor improvement to policy, no need for Carbon object there, added ShowDiscussionControllerTest
* added showDiscussionControllerTest but cant make Guests view the discussion created by a user
* viewing for guests tested, we might need factories
* part one of adding tests, updating core
* Apply fixes from StyleCI
[ci skip] [skip ci]
* we need xdebug for code coverage, and hhvm was already removed
* forgot about the sidecar for mysql completely 🤦
* gitignore removed this installed json we need to fake that we have extensions
* using reguarded closure
