- The helper registration code is "framework" code and very specific
- At the moment the "theme engine" is full of lots of disparate theme related stuff
- I'm trying to make the frontend framework code clearer and also expand it to make it more useful
- The helper system now also exposes 3 methods allowing you to register a directory, a helper or an alias
- I've updated the codebase to use these both for our core helpers and for "apps"
- The original intention of the proxy was to collect up all the requires in our helpers into one place
- This has since been expanded and used in more places, in more ways
- In hindsight there are now multiple different types of requires in the proxy:
- One: true frontend rendering framework requires (stuff from deep inside theme-engine)
- Two: data manipulation/sdk stuff, belongs to the frontend, ways to process API data
- Three: actual core stuff from Ghost, that we wish wasn't here / needs to be passed in a controlled way
- This commit pulls out One into a new rendering service, so at least that stuff is managed independently
- This draws the lines clearly between what's internal to the frontend and what isn't
- It also highlights that the theme-engine needs to be divided up / refactored so that we don't have these deep requires
- 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

refs 517d2abc5c
- updated router response formatting functions and `{{#get}}` helper response handling to make any `feature_image_caption` properties in the response a `SafeString` instance so triple-curlies are not needed when using the property in themes
- All var declarations are now const or let as per ES6
- All comma-separated lists / chained declarations are now one declaration per line
- This is for clarity/readability but also made running the var-to-const/let switch smoother
- ESLint rules updated to match
How this was done:
- npm install -g jscodeshift
- git clone https://github.com/cpojer/js-codemod.git
- git clone git@github.com:TryGhost/Ghost.git shallow-ghost
- cd shallow-ghost
- jscodeshift -t ../js-codemod/transforms/unchain-variables.js . -v=2
- jscodeshift -t ../js-codemod/transforms/no-vars.js . -v=2
- yarn
- yarn test
- yarn lint / fix various lint errors (almost all indent) by opening files and saving in vscode
- grunt test-regression
- sorted!
- 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
no issue
- Removed deprecated 'blog' reference from frontend data. The alias (site->blog) stays till next version (v4) as it's not leaving much of technical debt but would ease the migration process for anybody still using it.
- The follow up to this is substitute of all references to `options.data.blog` with `options.data.site` in "frontend"
- Fixed test utils helper to use `site` instead of `blog`
- Removed 0.1 flag checks in {{get}} helper
- Removed user aliasing from {{get}} helper
- Removed unused translation for {{get}} helper
- Added a note to excerpt changes in metadata for future reference
- Removed page alias used in description helper. The mix of page context with post object in the metadata was only possible in v0.1
- Changed mock in ghost_head helper to use v2
- Removed unneeded test for body class helper
