- This is part of the quest to separate the frontend and server & get rid of all the places where there are cross-requires
- At the moment the settings cache is one big shared cache used by the frontend and server liberally
- This change doesn't really solve the fundamental problems, as we still depend on events, and requires from inside frontend
- However it allows us to control the misuse slightly better by getting rid of restricted requires and turning on that eslint ruleset
- Part of the effort to split Ghost down into smaller, decoupled pieces
- Moved out our internal validator tooling to a separate library
- Replaced all usage of our own tooling and validatorjs directly with @tryghost/validator
- Removed the validatorjs dependency and removed the renovate pin
- This gives us a consistant, smaller, clearer public API for validations
- It will eventually be used on Ghost Admin too
- This way we can start getting up to date with validator whilst not increasing build size
- renamed our internal validation library to "validator" - which is the same as the tool it wraps
- updated the public api so that validator methods are directly exposed
- this will make it a drop-in replacement for validator-js
- in turn, this allows us to pull this out into @tryghost/validator, and use our own wrapper instead of the 3rd party library
- This is super specific code relating only to validating passwords.
- It's needed as a shared validator as we use other funnels to help people setup Ghost on Pro, but currently it's hard-baked into Ghost
- It's also not the greatest code. It'd be nice to be able to rework it and know that would automatically update everywhere passwords are set
