- 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 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
