- Implemented scheduling for posts and pages
- Added cache invalidation when scheduling
- Refactored admin token eneration function to accept existing key as parameter in tests
- Added Ghost Scheduler Integration fixture
- Added fixture for permissions for post publish action
- Migrated getScheduled method to v2
- Did not add support for 'from' and 'to' parameters as they were not used by DefaultScheduler
- This method needs rethinking in a long run as it's an ugly hack and should rather become proper endpoint that returns JSON data instead of models
- Removed unused auth middleware from v2 routes
- Added internal scheduler role
- Implemetnted transactions in v2 frame
- This takes into account scenario mentioned in c93f03b87e
- Specifically:
>if two queries happening in a transaction we have to signalise
knex/mysql that we select for an update
otherwise the following case happens:
you fetch posts for an update
a user requests comes in and updates the post (e.g. sets title to "X")
you update the fetched posts, title would get overriden to the old one
no issue
- we try to store all urls as relative paths where possible in Ghost so that the `config.url` value can be changed
- all relative paths are stored as root-relative except for the `post.canonical_url` field which was storing subdirectory-relative paths
- adds a migration to put the subdirectory prefix onto any relative canonical_url paths
- updates the canonical_url input serialiser to keep the subdirectory rather than stripping it to match all other url fields
* Simplified db controller permissions options
The existing objects were confusing because they did the same thing as
setting permissions to true, but gave the impressions that something
special was happening/required.
* Added DB Backup Integration Role
This will allow us to assign certain api_keys this role, in order to
automate db backups
* Allowed admin api_keys to have configurable roles
This will allow keys for the admin api to do customised things such as db export
* Added ghost-backup integration to fixtures
* Added migrations for DB Backup Integration and role
no issue
- Forced a filter on read and browse requests to the integrations endpoint to limit fetches to only "custom" and "builtin" integration types
- Expanded test coverage for "internal" integrations
closes#10927
- Previous fix 2823c0b342
- It didn't work because the validation layer in "frame" doesn't take into account the value under `required` property of the controller, so to prevent validation on the field whole `required` key/value have to be removed
- Removed unused variables
- Extended regression suite to prevent similar problems in the future
* Installed @tryghost/members-ssr@0.2.1
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Members/issues/38
This updates allows for dynamic access of the membersApi, which will be
used in future when replacing the membersApi instance with a newly
configured one.
* Set the membersApiInstance logger to use common.logging
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Members/issues/38
Passes the Ghost logger to the members api, so that we can keep an eye
on errors produced by the api.
* Refactored memberService use to always use getter
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Members/issues/38
This will allow us to switch out the membersApi and the consumers of it
to have the updated reference by going through a getter.
* Installed @tryghost/members-api@0.3.0
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Members/issues/38
Adds support for setting the logger
* Uninstalled stripe@7.0.0
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Members/issues/38
The stripe module is now a dep of members-api, as it should be
* Updated members service to reconfigure settings
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Members/issues/38
Previously we were unable to stop an invalidly configured members api
instance, now that we create a new instance, we can wait for the ready
or error event and only switch it out then.

- The code was moved out of controllers to reduce the number of coupling points between the API controllers and "frontend" services
- A nice side effect of this move is a decreased amount of code that will need to be maintained and reusability between existing controllers

- The refactoring is a substitute for `urlService.utils` used previously throughout the codebase and now extracted into the separate module in Ghost-SDK
- Added url-utils stubbing utility for test suites
- Some tests had to be refactored to avoid double mocks (when url's are being reset inside of rested 'describe' groups)
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Team/issues/211
Previous code was creating a new ajv instance for each call, as well as
loading the schemas, which are cached. This was causing a memory leak as
ajv caches all schemas.
We've replaced it with one instance of ajv, and conditionally
loading/compiling the schemas if they haven't been seen before.

- Only transform a canonical URL that is identical with the Blog URL to a relative URL when the protocol matches as well

refs #10571
- Removes dependency on 'context' property being set in error when
checking a theme
- Refactoring was needed to be able to avoid passing checked theme as a
part of thrown error (logic was relying on error having this specific
data in context property). This created a problem where we controlled
the logic flow with data in error object.
- Introduced 2 different types of theme check handling, one behaves the
same way as before, the other gives more granulac control to the caller
to decide what to do with returned errors.

* Removed support for cookies in members auth middleware
no-issue
The members middleware will no longer be supporting cookies, the cookie
will be handled by a new middleware specific for serverside rendering,
more informations can be found here:
https://paper.dropbox.com/doc/Members-Auth-II-4WP4vF6coMqDYbSMIajo5
* Removed members auth middleware from site app
no-issue
The site app no longer needs the members auth middleware as it doesn't
support cookies, and will be replaced by ssr specific middleware.

* Added comment for session_secret setting
no-issue
We are going to have multiple concepts of sessions, so adding a comment
here to be specific that this is for the Ghost Admin client
* Added theme_session_secret setting dynamic default
no-issue
Sessions for the theme layer will be signed, so we generate a random hex
string to use as a signing key
* Added getPublicConfig method
* Replaced export of httpHandler with POJO apiInstance
no-issue
This is mainly to reduce the public api, so it's easier to document.
* Renamed memberUserObject -> members
no-issue
Simplifies the interface, and is more inline with what we would want to export as an api library.
* Removed use of require options inside members
no-issue
This was too tight of a coupling between Ghost and Members
* Simplified apiInstance definition
no-issue
* Added getMember method to members api
* Added MembersSSR instance to members service
* Wired up routes for members ssr
* Updated members auth middleware to use getPublicConfig

This allows users to log out of the theme layer
* Fixed missing code property
no-issue
Ignition uses the statusCode property to forward status codes to call sites
* Removed superfluous error middleware
no-issue
Before we used generic JWT middleware which would reject, now the
middleware catches it's own error and doesn't error, thus this
middleware is unecessary.
* Removed console.logs
no-issue
* Updated token expirty to hardcoded 20 minutes
no-issue
This returns to our previous state of using short lived tokens, both for
security and simplicity.
* Removed hardcoded default member settings
no-issue
This is no longer needed, as defaults are in default-settings.json
* Removed stripe from default payment processor
no-issue
* Exported `getSiteUrl` method from url utils
no-issue
This keeps inline with newer naming conventions
* Updated how audience access control works
no-issue
Rather than being passed a function, members api now receives an object
which describes which origins have access to which audiences, and how
long those tokens should be allowed to work for. It also allows syntax
for default tokens where audience === origin requesting it. This can be
set to undefined or null to disable this functionality.
{
"http://site.com": {
"http://site.com": {
tokenLength: '5m'
},
"http://othersite.com": {
tokenLength: '1h'
}
},
"*": {
tokenLength: '30m'
}
}
* Updated members service to use access control feature
no-issue
This also cleans up a lot of unecessary variable definitions, and some
other minor cleanups.
* Added status code to auth pages html response
no-issue
This was missing, probably default but better to be explicit
* Updated gateway to have membersApiUrl from config
no-issue
Previously we were parsing the url, this was not very safe as we can
have Ghost hosted on a subdomain, and this would have failed.
* Added issuer to public config for members
no-issue
This can be used to request SSR tokens in the client
* Fixed path for gateway bundle
no-issue
* Updated settings model tests
no-issue
* Revert "Removed stripe from default payment processor"
This reverts commit 1d88d9b6d73a10091070bcc1b7f5779d071c7845.
* Revert "Removed hardcoded default member settings"
This reverts commit 9d899048ba7d4b272b9ac65a95a52af66b30914a.
* Installed @tryghost/members-ssr
* Fixed tests for settings model
no-issue
Previously it was possible to fetch the private key and session secret
for the members service, this is a security issue as we do not have
specific permissions for individual settings yet, and could have
possibly exposed secrets to admin integrations.
no issue
- Added new API to delete members
- Added methods to handle e2e member deletion

- Admin API v2 returned /404/, see comment in code base:
/**
* CASE: admin api should serve preview urls
*
* @NOTE
* The url service has no clue of the draft/scheduled concept. It only generates urls for published resources.
* Adding a hardcoded fallback into the url service feels wrong IMO.
*
* Imagine the site won't be part of core and core does not serve urls anymore.
* Core needs to offer a preview API, which returns draft posts.
* That means the url is no longer /p/:uuid, it's e.g. GET /api/v2/content/preview/:uuid/.
* /p/ is a concept of the site, not of core.
*
* The site is not aware of existing drafts. It won't be able to get the uuid.
*
* Needs further discussion.

no issue
- Reported here: https://forum.ghost.org/t/in-version-2-16-3-found-bug/6065/3
---
Admin Client sends false or true booleans for `is_private` key.
The settings table has two columns "key" and "value". And "value" is always type TEXT.
If you pass value=false, the db will transform this value into "0".
`settingsCache.get('is_private')` is then always true, even though the value is meant to be false.
We should add a migration in v3 and normalize all setting values to ensure consistent database values. Furthermore, we should improve the handling around settings values in general.
For now, we protect parsing values from DB, which we anyway need to transform the values into the correct data type, because we always save strings. This will protect values being stored as "false" or "1" or whatever.

- we had a very generic logic to remove "unwanted" null values
- copied from v0.1
- originally added in 7d4107fec4
- this logic transformed: settings = [{key: 'key', value: null}] to [{key: 'key'}], which is wrong
- i've removed this generic logic completely, because i don't know which purpose it serves
- if there a specific case where we want to remove null values, we should either use the JSON schema or use a specific serializer for the target resource
- added tests to proof that settings API behaves as it should
- one test failed because we removed the isNull logic -> if you send published_at = null on a published post
- the model layer has a piece of logic to force a date if you set published_at to null if the status is published
- protected
closes https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/issues/10558
- added conditional to explicitly set `excerpt` to `null` in the API output serializer when a post has no `plaintext` or `custom_excerpt` value

- Updated input serializers for posts/tags/users to handle absolute urls conversion
-------
1. Ghost stores relative images urls
2. API V2 returns images with absolute urls
3. Ghost-Admin sends absolute urls back on any save e.g. update user
**Current behavior**: This will override the relative image path in db to absolute, which in turn won't get updated in future if domain or protocol changes for e.g.
**Fix**: On save/update, input serializers converts any absolute image url paths back to relative if the base URL from image fields matches the configured URL
closes#10029
- allowed page option for users, posts, & tags browse
- The page query param was not forwarding to the query, meaning that when the admin client requested the next page of users or posts, it would receive the first page again.

**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

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
