We are currently work on dynamic routing (aka channels).
An important piece of this feature is the url service, which always knows the url of a resource at any time.
Resources can belong to collections or taxonomies, which can be defined in a [routing yaml file](https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/issues/9528). We are currently shipping portions, which will at end form the full dynamic routing feature.
### Key Notes
- each routing type (collections, taxonomies, static pages) is registered in order - depending on the yaml routes file configuration
- static pages are an internal concept - they sit at the end of the subscriber queue
- we make use of a temporary [`Channels2`](https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/pull/9550/files#diff-9e7251409844521470c9829013cd1563) file, which simulates the current static routing in Ghost (this file will be modified, removed or whatever - this is one of the next steps)
- two way binding: you can ask for a resource url based on the resource id, you can ask for the resource based on the url
- in theory it's possible that multiple resources generate the same url: we don't handle this with collision (because this is error prone), we handle this with the order of serving content. if you ask the service for a resource, which lives behind e.g. /test/, you will get the resource which is served
- loose error handling -> log errors and handle instead of throw error and do nothing (we log the errors with a specific code, so we can react in case there is a bug)
- the url services fetches all resources on bootstrap. we only fetch and keep a reduced set of attributes (basically the main body of a resource)
- the bootstrap time will decrease a very little (depending on the amount of resources you have in your database)
- we still offer the option to disable url preloading (in your config `disableUrlPreload: true`) - this option will be removed as soon as the url service is connected. You can disable the service in case you encounter a problem
- **the url service is not yet connected, we will connect the service step by step. The first version should be released to pre-catch bugs. The next version will add 503 handling if the url service is not ready and it will consume urls for resources.**
----
- the url service generates urls based on resources (posts, pages, users, tags)
- the url service keeps track of resource changes
- the url service keeps track of resource removal/insert
- the architecture:
- each routing type is represented by a url generator
- a routing type is a collection, a taxonomiy or static pages
- a queue which ensures that urls are unique and can be owned by one url generator
- the hierarchy of registration defines that
- we query knex, because bookshelf is too slow
- removed old url service files + logic
- added temp channels alternative (Channels2) -> this file will look different soon, it's for now the temporary connector to the url service. Also the name of the file is not optimal, but that is not really important right now.
no issue
This PR adds the server side logic for multiple authors. This adds the ability to add multiple authors per post. We keep and support single authors (maybe till the next major - this is still in discussion)
### key notes
- `authors` are not fetched by default, only if we need them
- the migration script iterates over all posts and figures out if an author_id is valid and exists (in master we can add invalid author_id's) and then adds the relation (falls back to owner if invalid)
- ~~i had to push a fork of bookshelf to npm because we currently can't bump bookshelf + the two bugs i discovered are anyway not yet merged (https://github.com/kirrg001/bookshelf/commits/master)~~ replaced by new bookshelf release
- the implementation of single & multiple authors lives in a single place (introduction of a new concept: model relation)
- if you destroy an author, we keep the behaviour for now -> remove all posts where the primary author id matches. furthermore, remove all relations in posts_authors (e.g. secondary author)
- we make re-use of the `excludeAttrs` concept which was invented in the contributors PR (to protect editing authors as author/contributor role) -> i've added a clear todo that we need a logic to make a diff of the target relation -> both for tags and authors
- `authors` helper available (same as `tags` helper)
- `primary_author` computed field available
- `primary_author` functionality available (same as `primary_tag` e.g. permalinks, prev/next helper etc)
refs #9178
- this util uses the url services (!)
- moving this file into lib would not make sense right now
- that would mean a module requires first ../lib/url, which then requires ../services/url
- the url service definitely need a clean up 😃
refs #9178
- we have to take care that we don't end up in circular dependencies
- e.g. API requires UrlService and UrlService needs to require the API (for requesting data)
- update the references
- we would like to get rid of the utils folder, this is/was the most complicated change
no issue
- rename the config option to disable preloading the urls
- always expose the urlservice as singleton
- do the initialisation of the service inside the constructor
refs #9192
- Introduces a url service that can be initialised
- Added a concept of Resources and resource config.json that contains details about the resources in the system that we may want to make customisable
- Note that individual resources know how to create their own Urls... this is important for later
- Url Service loads all of the resources, and stores their URLs
- The UrlService binds to all events, so that when a resource changes its url and related data can be updated if needed
- There is a temporary config guard so that this can be turned off easily
