no-issue
- Added spam prevention to POST /session
- This blocks repeated requests the the /session endpoint preventing brute
force password attacks
- Updated session controller to reset brute middleware
- This updates the session controller to reset the brute force protection
on a successful login. This is required so that a user is not locked out
forever :o!!
refs #9866
- Extracted url decoration logic to utility in output serializers in posts, pages, users, and tags
- Added test cases for url usage by child object (tags of posts)
* Added API Key auth middleware to v2 content API
refs #9865
- add `auth.authenticate.authenticateContentApiKey` middleware
- accepts `?key=` query param, sets `req.api_key` if it's a known Content API key
- add `requiresAuthorizedUserOrApiKey` authorization middleware
- passes if either `req.user` or `req.api_key` exists
- update `authenticatePublic` middleware stack for v2 content routes
* Fixed functional content api tests
no-issue
This fixes the functional content api tests so they use the content api
auth.
* Fixed context check and removed skip
* Updated cors middleware for content api
* Removed client_id from frame.context
no-issue
The v2 api doesn't have a notion of clients as we do not use oauth for it
* Fixed tests for posts input serializer
refs #9866
- Added logic ensuring page filter is always set to false in posts endpoint for Content API
- Added functional tests to pages and posts
- Added absolute_url logic in pages controller
refs #9866
- by default it used `options.id`, which tells the permission layer the target id
- but some controllers want to use a different identifier
- e.g. settings -> settings.key
- e.g. password changes -> password[0].user_id
- Added slugs controller to v2 API
- Added slugs tests to v2 API
- Updated generic validation error message in shared validator to return validation error with sub-message

**ATTENTION: This is the first iteration. Bugs are expected.**
Main Goals:
- add support for multiple API versions.
- do not touch v0.1 implementation
- do not break v0.1
## Problems with the existing v0.1 implementation
1. It tried to be generic and helpful, but it was a mixture of generic and explicit logic living in basically two files: utils.js and index.js.
2. Supporting multiple api versions means, you want to have as less as possible code per API version. With v0.1 it is impossible to reduce the API controller implementation.
----
This commit adds three things:
1. The tiny framework with well-defined API stages.
2. An example implementation of serving static pages via /pages for the content v2 API.
3. Unit tests to prove that the API framework works in general.
## API Stages
- validation
- input serialization
- permissions
- query
- output serialization
Each request should go through these stages. It is possible to disable stages, but it's not recommended.
The code for each stage will either live in a shared folder or in the API version itself. It depends how API specific the validation or serialization is. Depends on the use case.
We should add a specific API validator or serializer if the use case is API format specific.
We should put everything else to shared.
The goal is to add as much as possible into the shared API layer to reduce the logic per API version.
---
Serializers and validators can be added:
- for each request
- for specific controllers
- for specific actions
---
There is room for improvements/extensions:
1. Remove http header configuration from the API controller, because the API controller should not know about http - decouple.
2. Put permissions helpers into shared. I've just extracted and capsulated the permissions helpers into a single file for now. It had no priority. The focus was on the framework itself.
etc.
---
You can find more information about it in the API README.md (api/README.md)
- e.g. find more information about the structure
- e.g. example controllers
The docs are not perfect. We will improve the docs in the next two weeks.
---
Upcoming tasks:
- prepare test env to test multiple API versions
- copy over the controllers from v0.1 to v2
- adapt the v2 express app to use the v2 controllers
refs #9865
Note that this controller is the singular, that's because we plan to
make a session resource controller to be used with /sessions, wheras
this is on /session
