- This changeset makes the "/ghost/api" base path for the APIs centralized in one place and reused by dependent modules. There are couple benefits this refactor brings: easy way to spot where the API base path is used (was hard to find it in regexp) and makes it easy to change the hardcoded path to a configurable one in the future (e.g. host all APIs under `domain.tld/custom-path/awesome-apis/posts`)
- I hear that scream from the back of your head: "But hey! This introduced coupling to url-utils!". To that my unswer is: "No. This change only makes the coupling explicit, it's been there already and now can be addressed if we need to!".
- A neat thing about his change, making the API work on a custom path is one line away, by moving the hardcoded `/ghost/api` to a config ;)

- This stops the mounting of the admin and frontend from being buried deep in express initialisation
- Instead it's explicit, which makes two things almost possible:
1. we can potentially boot the frontend or backend independently
2. we can pass services and settings loaded during boot into the frontend
- This needs more work, but we can start to group all the frontend code together
- Meanwhile we also need to rip apart the routing and url services to decouple the frontend from the backend fully
- BABY STEPS!

- Without sensible defaults the web app was not initializing either the backend nor the frontned parts of the application. Fixed the defaults so the problem doesn't happen again and optimized mock-express-style initialization to only initialize the frontend routing
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Toolbox/issues/135
- These flags are meant to control initialization of sections of the boot sequence depending on the needs - with or without bakend (API)/frontend (public handlebars site)
- Ideally these flags should not be passed deep into the components, and if the are (like in the web/parent/app case) it's a smell that we need to move things up into the boot process!
- These are simple functions that get data from config in a specific format
- They are also used by the topmost part of the application
- Config helpers seems like a reasonable fit to get them out of the web folder
- Functions have also been renamed to try to get them to make more sense
- This is a minor bugbare, but it will affect some configuration I'm about to do for c8
- I've been wanting to do it for ages, middleware is plural all on it's own so it's an odd affectation in our codebase
- This also only exists in 2 places, everywhere else we use "middleware"
- Sadly it did result in a lot of churn as I did a full find and replace, but consistency is king!
- we're slowly trying to draw the lines between the backend and the frontend correctly
- these files deal only with serving the frontend so they should live there
- there are lots of mixed requires in these files, so having them in the right place makes that clear
no issue
- right now, we mount all API endpoints (v2, v3 and canary), alongside some
other routes, when Ghost is booting. This is wasteful because we don't
necessarily need any of the endpoints to get Ghost up and running
- even when Admin is used, it uses `canary` so `v2` and `v3` sit in memory
- the better approach here is to lazy load these endpoints, so they only
get mounted when needed
- this commit adds the `lazyUse` function into our Express lib,
which takes a mount path and a module function to execute down the
line. This gets passed to the wonderful `express-lazy-router` lib which
detects when we're calling an unmounted module and will mount it for
us
- from local testing, this speeds up boot time by about 18% and reduces
initial memory usage by about 6% 🚀
- This stops the mounting of the admin and frontend from being buried deep in express initialisation
- Instead it's explicit, which makes two things almost possible:
1. we can potentially boot the frontend or backend independently
2. we can pass services and settings loaded during boot into the frontend
- This needs more work, but we can start to group all the frontend code together
- Meanwhile we also need to rip apart the routing and url services to decouple the frontend from the backend fully
- BABY STEPS!
- This is a precursor to trying to split apart into:
- model events + webhooks system which makes sense
- frontend events which should be independent or removed
- maybe some concept of a settings manager that we can use in various places to bind logic 🤔
- other usages of events that should be refactored to not use events
- Reduced the number of levels in our debug naming in the frontend
- Unified components like "themes" and "routing" under one name
- Should help to make debug slightly more useful again
- Makes the logic for determining the admin and frontend vhost args independent and easier to test
- Moved the tests to specifically test the vhost utils & removed proxyquire as a dependency
- We want to breakdown the current parent app into the existing core/app.js and boot code, allowing us to decouple the backend and frontend further
- This is all part of the refactoring to separate server and frontend completely
no issue
The only pieces of Ghost-Ignition used in Ghost were debug and
logging. Both of these modules have been superceded by the Framework
monorepo, and all usages of Ignition have now been removed, replaced
with @tryghost/debug and @tryghost/logging.
- Having these as destructured from the same package is hindering refactoring now
- Events should really only ever be used server-side
- i18n should be a shared module for now so it can be used everywhere until we figure out something better
- Having them seperate also allows us to lint them properly
- Modules in /shared are supposed to be standalone modules that can be required by the server or frontend
- As the server shouldn't require the frontend, and vice versa, shared modules should require neither
- Otherwise it just becomes a crutch for allowing cross-depenencies, and will create circular dependencies
The Bridge
- The bridge file is not meant to be a crutch sat allowing cross-dependencies, but rather a new component that manages the flow of data
- That data flows from the server/boot process TO the frontend, and should not flow in the other direction
- The management of that flow of data is necessarily hacky at the moment, but over time the architecture here should get clearer and better
- Still, for the time being it will need to handle requiring across components until that architecture matures
- Therefore, it should live in core root, not in core/shared
refs: bf0823c9a2
- Added a new bridge class that lives in shared. This should eventually be responsible for all cross-communication between the frontend and the server
- Having all the gnarly shared bits in one place should help us refactor more easily
- For now it also reduces requires between the core/server and core/frontend folders that are meant to be separate
- All calls to getApiVersion have also been renamed to getFrontendApiVersion, as this is different to the "default" API version
- Slowly getting to the point where frontend/services/themes can be moved to server/services/themes :)
issue https://github.com/TryGhost/Team/issues/614
- Users who have a password can directly sign-in via oauth
- User who are logged-in get their password disabled
- Users accepting an invitation get their password disabled
- The way we disable password is by setting it to a long random password
no issue
- node was complaining the package was missing after the sanitize-html update [1]
- the update removed an old version of lodash which supported the dot importing
method
- our code relied on this subdependency to work, but the structure has since
been updated
[1]: https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/pull/11867
- Represents that logging is shared across all parts of Ghost at present
* moved core/server/lib/common/logging to core/shared/logging
* updated logging path for generic imports
* updated migration and schema imports of logging
* updated tests and index logging import
* 🔥 removed logging from common module
* fixed tests
* moved `server/config` to `shared/config`
* updated config import paths in server to use shared
* updated config import paths in frontend to use shared
* updated config import paths in test to use shared
* updated config import paths in root to use shared
* trigger regression tests
* of course the rebase broke tests
- Added a wrapper around express.Router to our shared/express util
- Also export static and _express
- Use this shared util everywhre, meaning express is only used directly in this one file
- ATM this file is mostly an experiment / debug helper, it might be removed again later
- The aim is to have a minimal framework wrapping express that allows us to:
- reduce our usage of express() in favour of Router()
- unify some of our duplicated logic
- fix some structural issues e.g. Sentry
- make it easier to understand the codebase
- Clarify that the parent app has 2 distinct parts: backend and frontend
- Frontend app takes members and site apps + the frontend SSL redirect middleware
- Backend app already has admin + API (and the SSL redirect needs significant work)
- There's a lot more to do here, but this increases clarity
- added core/shared to watched folders in grunt
- moved sentry to shared
- moved express initialisation to a shared file
- always set trust proxy + sentry error handler
- use this new express init everywhere, and remove duplicate trust proxy and sentry error handler code
- renamed the parentApp in index.js to ghostApp, to reduce confusion with the layer that is named parentApp
- renamed the adminApp inside of parentApp to backendApp to reflect the fact it's both admin+api
- renamed a bunch more variables there to be backend, rather than admin
- renamed the api index.js file to app.js and created a new index which is an actual index
- Moved ghost-locals from shared to parent as it is not shared
- This file is only used in one place, this updates the code structure to reflect this
- This is one of many similar changes needed to make it easier to refactor to the existing setup
- This allows shared middleware to be unhooked from the parent app
- Moved emit-events from shared to parent as it is not shared
- This file is only used in one place, this updates the code structure to reflect this
- This is one of many similar changes needed to make it easier to refactor to the existing setup
- Moved log-request from shared to parent as it is not shared
- This file is only used in one place, this updates the code structure to reflect this
- This is one of many similar changes needed to make it easier to refactor to the existing setup
- Moved request-id from shared to parent as it is not shared
- This file is only used in one place, this updates the code structure to reflect this
- This is one of many similar changes needed to make it easier to refactor to the existing setup
- Have a consistent structure so we can co-locate an app with its own middleware
- This is another small step in sorting out the giant mess that was web/shared/middleware
