- refactor architecture of routing so you can define a channel
- a channel is a different way of looking at your posts (a view)
- a channel does not change the url of a resource
Example channel
```
routes:
/worldcup-2018-russia/:
controller: channel
filter: tag:football18
data: tag.football18
```
- added ability to redirect resources to a channel/static route
- support templates for channels
- ensure we still support static routes (e.g. /about/: home)
- ensure pagination + rss works out of the box
refs #9601
- you can define a redirect in your routes.yaml
e.g. from `page.home` to /about/
- we have to check for a possible redirect before rendering the target static page
refs #9601
- support data, limit and order for collections
- limit definition in routes.yaml is stronger than theme package.json limit configuration
- ensure we update hbs template options
refs #9601
- the home.hbs behaviour for the index collection (`/`) is hardcoded in Ghost
- we would like to migrate all existing routes.yaml files
- we only replace the file if the contents of the routes.yaml file equals the old routes.yaml format (with home.hbs as template)
- updated README of settings folder
- if we don't remove the home.hbs template from the default routes.yaml file, home.hbs will be rendered for any page of the index collection
- the backwards compatible behaviour was different
- only render home.hbs for page 1
- remember: the default routes.yaml file reflects how Ghost was working without dynamic routing
refs #9601
Example:
```
collections:
/podcast/:
permalink: /{slug}/
```
- the name of the collection is remembered as `routerName` (in the case above: "podcast")
- the name of the collection is important for two things
1. context value
2. template name
- the context value is available for specific theme helpers e.g. is helper, body_class helper
- we auto-lookup the collection name in your theme e.g. podcast.hbs
- this logic does not apply to static routes
- if you define templates on your collection, they are stronger than the collection name
refs #9601
- implementation of resource listener updated
- if you define two collections: `featured:true` (1) and `page:false` (2) you can run into the following bug:
- you create a published post (owned by (2))
- you change the status to featured
- still owned by (2), because the filter still matches (it's still not a static page)
- this adaption fixes the behaviour
- less smart logic, but less error prone
closes https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/issues/9674
- with dynamic routing the first collection get's the "index" context attached
- the index context signalises the main post listening route (first collection)
- this behaviour was present < 1.24 - we have to keep this behaviour
refs #9601
- if you call `express.Router()`, the router's name is always "router"
- that is caused by the closure behaviour in express:
- https://github.com/expressjs/express/blob/4.16.3/lib/router/index.js#L46
- Ghost creates a couple of express routers for dynamic routing
- it depends how much you configure in your routes.yaml file
- but every router is called "router"
- this is hard to work with
- with this router wrapping logic, we are able to give each router an exact name
If you enable `DEBUG=ghost:services:routing:*`, you have seen this before
> ghost:services:routing:ParentRouter site: mountRouter: router +0ms
With the wrapper logic, you will see:
> ghost:services:routing:ParentRouter site: mountRouter: StaticPagesRouter +0ms
- furthermore, if you have to access the router stack (`app.router.stack`), you can easily identify and find router instances by name
no issue
- if you define no collections, but a static route, it can happen that the target template to render
makes use of the {{ghost_head}} helper
- the {{ghost_head}} helper tries to create the primary rss feed url
- at the moment: no collections, no primary rss feed url
- if we offer the option to define custom rss rules, this function might need an extension
no issue
- this mock eat already too much of my/our time
- the idea of adding a knex mock was definitely a failed approach/try
- it's too much to maintaince and have not found a module which does this already
- we have to support any query format
- this is too crazy
- the idea was to use the knex mock for model unit tests, because if we want to unit test models we have to
run through bookshelf, because the whole model layer depends on bookshelf e.g. events
- for now we simply use the real database
- we could use the sqlite3 memory mode, but that would mean every unit test runs on sqlite3
- something to consider for later e.g. run unit tests on one matrix
- run the rest on another matrix for sqlite + mysql
closes#9675
- with dynamic routing we have introduced a breaking change, which we have overseen
- Ghost does not return absolute urls, that's why the clients need to concat the blog url and the resource url
- with 1.24.0 Ghost returned resource urls including the subdirectory
- this caused trouble for e.g. zapier or the preview feature in the admin client
- revert breaking change and ensure we only expose resource urls without subdirectory
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/issues/9623
- add `oembed-parser` module for checking provider availability for a url and fetching data from the provider
- require it in the `overrides.js` file before the general Promise override so that the `promise-wrt` sub-dependency doesn't attempt to extend the Bluebird promise implementation
- add `/oembed` authenticated endpoint
- takes `?url=` query parameter to match against known providers
- adds safeguard against oembed-parser's providers list not recognising http+https and www+non-www
- responds with `ValidationError` if no provider is found
- responds with oembed response from matched provider's oembed endpoint if match is found
no issue
- was introduced with dynamic routing beta: https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/releases/tag/1.24.0
- the slug param wasn't forwarded correctly
- you were not able to render a custom tag or author template e.g. `tag-news.hbs`
refs #9681
- we already had a protection against these situations when serving the site (theme)
- it can happen that we have to initialise the express engine in the error handler in case the first request to /ghost produces an error (e.g. 503)
- otherwise the underlying error message is hidden and Ghost doesn't render the error html template correctly
closes#9674
- the collection router had a hardcoded default context "home"
- this is wrong
- the context array get's automatically filled for the collection
- if you are serving a page e.g. /page/2/ -> it's "paged"
- if you are serving / -> it's "home"
- same for {{body_class}}, it outputs "home-template" on "/"
- this is the same behaviour as in 1.23.x
no issue
- reverse must happen once in the constructor
- otherwise we reverse the array on each request
- Ghost would randomly pick the first and then the second template
no issue
- from now on: you have to manually reconfigure your slack hook after importing your data
- we were running into trouble that Ghost had import slack hooks, because it can happen very fast
that you are importing someone's slack hook
