- 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!

- The UrlService was relying on a "hidden" identifier field that was passed along with a router object. Now it's passed as an explicit parameter from the "frontend" to the backend's UrlService
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Toolbox/issues/127
- Passing around whole instance of a frontend router was an overkill when there are only 3 static pieces of information that needed to be loaded. Extracting the router out makes the UrlGenerator way more readable, tests slimer, and the memory footpring of the process should be slightly lighter
- The toString overloading didn't make sense at the time of this refactor, maybe if there's a concrete usecase we could resurect it in a form of passing in a router's name or something.

- We allow to send email-only posts when using v4 Admin API, but it's possible to configure a v3 Theme with a site instance which resulta in an unsupported behavior throwing a 500.
- With this fix a 404 will be returned when an email-only post is viewed through the public email-only post URL
refs https://linear.app/tryghost/issue/CORE-104/decouple-frontend-routing-events-from-urlserver-events
- The "bootstrap" didn't give enough credit to everything this module was doing - it's responsible for managing correct initialization and reinitialization of the frontend Routes as well as passing router creation information back to the frontend's URL service
- The refactor is done in two steps - the "bootstrap.js" will be renamed in the follow-up commit to have a clean history of how the file evolved
refs https://linear.app/tryghost/issue/CORE-104/decouple-frontend-routing-events-from-urlserver-events
- "routerCreated" call was causing a need to create a dependency on the frontend Router level which didn't fit nicely with the refactor of the bootstrap into a class, it's also makes way more sense having it as an independent parameter instead of a call on a module (makes testing way more readable too!)
refs https://linear.app/tryghost/issue/CORE-104/decouple-frontend-routing-events-from-urlserver-events
- The 'settings.timezone.edited' event triggers a roundtrip chain of calls in the frontend routing to the url services. It was all handled by event listeners and handler that clearly don't belong there.
- Extracted event realted listeners/handlers into methods and moved most of the logic to the "bootstrap" module, which soon is going to become a "RoutesManger"
- The result of this refactor - no more events going back and forth between frontend routing and the backend!
refs https://linear.app/tryghost/issue/CORE-103/decouple-internal-frontend-code-from-url-module
- By becoming a parameter in the routing bootstrap process URL is Service no longer a "require" inside the frontend controllers but rather becomes a part of the "internal API" of the bootstrapper. This is not the end form of it, rather a step closer to decouplint routing from the URL serivce.
- The bootstrap module needs a facelift to have cleaner distinction between init/start methods. This is left for another time

- Email-only is not considered a general availability feature and can be used without special flags.
- It allows to publish a new post type "email only" that only goes out as an email newletter and is available through an undescoverable URL (does not appear anywhere publicly similarly to preview posts) on the site.
- i18n is an old pattern we are getting rid of in favour of tpl
- after removing i18n from helpers, there wasn't many usages of i18n left in the frontend, this removes whats left!
- this was done on a branch at the same time as Naz's commits removing i18n from the settings-related files
- hence some of these changes are minor amends to add additional messages/change names, rather than just straightup i18n->tpl
- it's a merge of both our refactors :)

- Relying on uuid instead of slug makes the posts less discoverable and partially soves discoverability through overriden robots.txt files
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Team/issues/953
- Emails posts should be not explorable by the rest of the frontend similarly to the draft or scheduled posts. Email posts should also keep the content gating, so that specific parts of content can still be gated based on the post's visibility setup
- A separate frontend router was chosen to implement this part of the system instead of a moutable express app due to increased complexity to introduce the latter approach.
- All "sent" email-only posts will be accessible through the `/email/:slug/` route
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Team/issues/948
- The frontend route `/email/:uuid` is aliased to the preview as a temporary solution. It fulfills the premise of the email-only post anyway - not being accessible publicly and only shared through email.
- The tests for the new route are missing as adding them was way more problematic than I envisoned. They are in the works and will be added as a follow up commit next.

- Frontent has to have as few as possible coupling points with the Ghost Server API. By design that point has been a "proxy.api" property that will become more and more constraint in the future based to limit the surface of frontend interaction with servers's API
- Removing `.../server/api` requires in favor of using a proxy decreases direct coupling
- 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
- The router bootstrap is no longer allowed to fetch it's own settings, but rather is passed them
- This moves the call to the site routes.js file, which isn't much better but it's a start
- The goal is to always pass these in from the boot process, or from the bridge reloader
- 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

- 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
- 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
- At the moment the bootstrap.start method asks the settings service for its settings
- This couples the routing and settings services together - when maybe we want to use a different method to generate settings
- By passing the settings to the routing service at the right time, we open up possibilities for refactoring
- The main goal here is getting this settings related code out of the routing service as it really doesn't belong there
- This settings file is used purely by the API to get and set files - its not really anything to do with actual routing
- This file calls out to the bridge to do a reload, which helps decouple slightly
- More refactoring is needed to get rid of the urlService dependency
- Note this file is really similar to the redirects one, it would be good to merge them
- At the moment the bootstrap.start method asks the settings service for its settings
- This couples the routing and settings services together - when maybe we want to use a different method to generate settings
- By passing the settings to the routing service at the right time, we open up possibilities for refactoring
- broken down large function into smaller functions to reduce repeated code
- try to make this and the redirects equivalent look similar
- this code is the getter and setter for the API
- TODO: I think this can be further refactored into a settings file class
- Allows for slight decoupling of API and frontend with route settings being updated
- Activate theme now calls the same codepath to reload the frontend
- Yet another step on the path to make it possible to init/reload/run the frontend independently from the server
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.

- i18n is used everywhere but only requires shared or external packages, therefore it's a good candidate for living in shared
- this reduces invalid requires across frontend and server, and lets us use it everywhere until we come up with a better option
- 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

- continuing the work of splitting up the theme service into logical components
- this is where it starts to get fiddly as the getActive function in themeService index is required across the frontend/backend mostly due to its use in the getApiVersion method
- for now left one usage of the getActive method in place in ghost-locals middleware ready for the next phase of the refactor, which will move some of the themeService index into a shared location
