- The frontend proxy is meant to be a way to pass critical internal pieces of Ghost core into the frontend
- These fundamental @tryghost packages are shared and can be required directly, hence there's no need to pass them via the proxy
- Reducing the surface area of the proxy reduces the proxies API
- This makes it easier to see what's left in terms of decoupling the frontend, and what will always need to be passed (e.g. api)
Note on @tryghost/social-urls:
- this is a small utility that helps create URLs for social profiles, it's a util for working with data on the frontend aka part of the sdk
- I think there should be many of these small helpers and we'll probably want to bundle them for the frontend at some point
- for now, I'm leaving these as part of the proxy, as need to figure out where they belong
- The proxy is not a helper, we want the helpers folder to only include helpers
- The proxy is also meant to be the interface to Ghost for the helpers, and we want to enforce that
- This is a small step on the way
- the proxy should always be used to access other parts of Ghost, including the urlService etc
- use consistent ES6 style for requires
- minimise use of lodash where possible
- remove circular dependency between proxy and template util
- End goal here is to enforce that the only link between helpers + the rest of Ghost is the proxy
