**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
Moved URL attributes logic from the model into API layer
refs #9866
- Moved URL related attribute calculation for posts, users, and tags into API layer
- Added test coverage for url attributes in tags/authors/primary_tags/primary_authors
refs #9866
- preparation for v2
- moved api/ to api/v0.1
- do export v0.1 straight from the api folder, we don't want to touch this right now
- that means currently if you require the api folder, we return v0.1 by default
- there were some direct requires of api files in the test env
- some of them use rewire
- for now, we just correct the require path to require api/v0.1/
- we touch the test env next week
**Docs about V2 design are coming soon!**
closes#9786
- Make GET request when url has no provider match
- The HEAD request was made in order to send less data over the wire when
checking for redirects for urls that do not have an oembed provider
match. We are now going to look for provider metatags withing the
response of the request - rather than making a HEAD followed by a GET if
no redirect is found, this condenses that to a single request.
- Try to get OEmbed data from tag if no provider
- Here we parse the HTML response of the resource and look for a link tag
that will give us the oembed resource url which we can use to fetch the
embed html
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/issues/9724
- perform a HEAD request on a url if we don't find a matching provider, following any redirects until we hit success response before looking up providers for the resulting url
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/issues/9623
- add `oembed-parser` module for checking provider availability for a url and fetching data from the provider
- require it in the `overrides.js` file before the general Promise override so that the `promise-wrt` sub-dependency doesn't attempt to extend the Bluebird promise implementation
- add `/oembed` authenticated endpoint
- takes `?url=` query parameter to match against known providers
- adds safeguard against oembed-parser's providers list not recognising http+https and www+non-www
- responds with `ValidationError` if no provider is found
- responds with oembed response from matched provider's oembed endpoint if match is found
refs #9548
- do not forward `tag.parent` to the model layer
- the model layer should only know `tag.parent_id`
- and the API should only expose `tag.parent` (this is an API feature)
- currently Ghost has a mixture of using `toJSON` and the API validation layer for this
- we just continue with this for now (no time to fix this)
- disallow sending nested-nested relations
- unsupported
- see comment for more information
- this can cause problems with calling `hasChanged` on relations
- add unit tests
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)
no issue
- currently if you would like to edit a resource (e.g. post) and you pass an invalid model id, the following happens
- permission check calls `Post.permissible`
- the Post could not find the post, but ignored it and returned `userPermissions:true`
- then the model layer is queried again and figured out that the post does not exist
- A: there is no need to query the model twice
- B: we needed proper error handling for post and role model
no issue
- this commit cleans up the usages of `include` and `withRelated`.
### API layer (`include`)
- as request parameter e.g. `?include=roles,tags`
- as theme API parameter e.g. `{{get .... include="author"}}`
- as internal API access e.g. `api.posts.browse({include: 'author,tags'})`
- the `include` notation is more readable than `withRelated`
- and it allows us to use a different easier format (comma separated list)
- the API utility transforms these more readable properties into model style (or into Ghost style)
### Model access (`withRelated`)
- e.g. `models.Post.findPage({withRelated: ['tags']})`
- driven by bookshelf

Commits explained.
* Reorder the usage of `convertOptions`
- 1. validation
- 2. options convertion
- 3. permissions
- the reason is simple, the permission layer access the model layer
- we have to prepare the options before talking to the model layer
- added `convertOptions` where it was missed (not required, but for consistency reasons)
* Use `withRelated` when accessing the model layer and use `include` when accessing the API layer
* Change `convertOptions` API utiliy
- API Usage
- ghost.api(..., {include: 'tags,authors'})
- `include` should only be used when calling the API (either via request or via manual usage)
- `include` is only for readability and easier format
- Ghost (Model Layer Usage)
- models.Post.findOne(..., {withRelated: ['tags', 'authors']})
- should only use `withRelated`
- model layer cannot read 'tags,authors`
- model layer has no idea what `include` means, speaks a different language
- `withRelated` is bookshelf
- internal usage
* include-count plugin: use `withRelated` instead of `include`
- imagine you outsource this plugin to git and publish it to npm
- `include` is an unknown option in bookshelf
* Updated `permittedOptions` in base model
- `include` is no longer a known option
* Remove all occurances of `include` in the model layer
* Extend `filterOptions` base function
- this function should be called as first action
- we clone the unfiltered options
- check if you are using `include` (this is a protection which could help us in the beginning)
- check for permitted and (later on default `withRelated`) options
- the usage is coming in next commit
* Ensure we call `filterOptions` as first action
- use `ghostBookshelf.Model.filterOptions` as first action
- consistent naming pattern for incoming options: `unfilteredOptions`
- re-added allowed options for `toJSON`
- one unsolved architecture problem:
- if you override a function e.g. `edit`
- then you should call `filterOptions` as first action
- the base implementation of e.g. `edit` will call it again
- future improvement
* Removed `findOne` from Invite model
- no longer needed, the base implementation is the same

closes#5071
- Remove hardcoded notification in admin controller
- NOTE: update check notifications are no longer blocking the admin rendering
- this is one of the most import changes
- we remove the hardcoded release message
- we also remove adding a notification manually in here, because this will work differently from now on
-> you receive a notification (release or custom) in the update check module and this module adds the notification as is to our database
- Change default core settings keys
- remove displayUpdateNotification
-> this was used to store the release version number send from the UCS
-> based on this value, Ghost creates a notification container with self defined values
-> not needed anymore
- rename seenNotifications to notifications
-> the new notifications key will hold both
1. the notification from the USC
2. the information about if a notification was seen or not
- this key hold only one release notification
- and n custom notifications
- Update Check Module: Request to the USC depends on the privacy configuration
- useUpdateCheck: true -> does a checkin in the USC (exposes data)
- useUpdateCheck: false -> does only a GET query to the USC (does not expose any data)
- make the request handling dynamic, so it depends on the flag
- add an extra logic to be able to define a custom USC endpoint (helpful for testing)
- add an extra logic to be able to force the request to the service (helpful for testing)
- Update check module: re-work condition when a check should happen
- only if the env is not correct
- remove deprecated config.updateCheck
- remove isPrivacyDisabled check (handled differently now, explained in last commit)
- Update check module: remove `showUpdateNotification` and readability
- showUpdateNotification was used in the admin controller to fetch the latest release version number from the db
- no need to check against semver in general, the USC takes care of that (no need to double check)
- improve readability of `nextUpdateCheck` condition
- Update check module: refactor `updateCheckResponse`
- remove db call to displayUpdateNotification, not used anymore
- support receiving multiple custom notifications
- support custom notification groups
- the default group is `all` - this will always be consumed
- groups can be extended via config e.g. `notificationGroups: ['migration']`
- Update check module: refactor createCustomNotification helper
- get rid of taking over notification duplication handling (this is not the task of the update check module)
- ensure we have good fallback values for non present attributes in a notification
- get rid of semver check (happens in the USC) - could be reconsidered later if LTS is gone
- Refactor notification API
- reason: get rid of in process notification store
-> this was an object hold in process
-> everything get's lost after restart
-> not helpful anymore, because imagine the following case
-> you get a notification
-> you store it in process
-> you mark this notification as seen
-> you restart Ghost, you will receive the same notification on the next check again
-> because we are no longer have a separate seen notifications object
- use database settings key `notification` instead
- refactor all api endpoints to support reading and storing into the `notifications` object
- most important: notification deletion happens via a `seen` property (the notification get's physically deleted 3 month automatically)
-> we have to remember a seen property, because otherwise you don't know which notification was already received/seen
- Add listener to remove seen notifications automatically after 3 month
- i just decided for 3 month (we can decrease?)
- at the end it doesn't really matter, as long as the windows is not tooooo short
- listen on updates for the notifications settings
- check if notification was seen and is older than 3 month
- ignore release notification
- Updated our privacy document
- Updated docs.ghost.org for privacy config behaviour
- contains a migration script to remove old settings keys
refs #9178
- `checkFileExists` and `checkFileIsValid` where dirty required from web/middleware
- these two functions are only used in the target middleware
- let's move them
refs #8602
- Add the wiring to pass attributes around the permission system
- Allows us to get access to the important "unsafe" attributes that are changing
- E.g. status for posts
- This can then be used to determine whether a user has permission to perform an attribute-based action
- E.g. publish a post (change status)
refs #9043
- Move api util tests into api section
- Adding export test to utils to see the amount of functions which are exported
- Adding basic handlePermissions tests
no issue
- change out should.equal for // jshint ignore:line
- ensure should is the first require in every test, and ALWAYS require
- make sinon the second require, and sandbox the last thing
- ALWAYS use sandbox, futureproofs tests against contributors who don't know it
- change require formatting
refs #6413
