- Modules in /shared are supposed to be standalone modules that can be required by the server or frontend
- As the server shouldn't require the frontend, and vice versa, shared modules should require neither
- Otherwise it just becomes a crutch for allowing cross-depenencies, and will create circular dependencies
The Bridge
- The bridge file is not meant to be a crutch sat allowing cross-dependencies, but rather a new component that manages the flow of data
- That data flows from the server/boot process TO the frontend, and should not flow in the other direction
- The management of that flow of data is necessarily hacky at the moment, but over time the architecture here should get clearer and better
- Still, for the time being it will need to handle requiring across components until that architecture matures
- Therefore, it should live in core root, not in core/shared
refs: bf0823c9a2
- Added a new bridge class that lives in shared. This should eventually be responsible for all cross-communication between the frontend and the server
- Having all the gnarly shared bits in one place should help us refactor more easily
- For now it also reduces requires between the core/server and core/frontend folders that are meant to be separate
- All calls to getApiVersion have also been renamed to getFrontendApiVersion, as this is different to the "default" API version
- Slowly getting to the point where frontend/services/themes can be moved to server/services/themes :)
- we export i18n from `core/frontend/services/proxy` and this is used in
the most of the places in the frontend code
- this commit aligns the rest of the code in core/frontend to use the
proxy too
- unfortunately core/frontend/services/themes/i18n.js loops back to the
proxy so we have a circular dependency
closes#11999
- When the routes.yaml file changes (manually or through API) we need
to store a checksum to be able to optimize routes reloads in the future
- Added mechanism to detect differences between stored and current routes.yaml hash value
- Added routes.yaml sync on server boot
- Added routes.yaml handling in controllers
- Added routes hash synchronization method in core settings. It lives in core settings
as it needs access to model layer. To avoid coupling with the frontend settings it accepts
a function which has to resolve to a routes hash
- Added note about settings validation side-effect. It mutates input!
- Added async check for currently loaded routes hash
- Extended frontend settings loader with async loader. The default behavior of the loader is
to load settings syncronously for reasons spelled in 0ac19dcf84
To avoid blocking the eventloop added async loading method
- Refactored frontend setting loader for reusability of settings file path
- Added integrity check test for routes.yaml file

fixes#11774
- providing data as a list ends up hitting code paths that can't handle
arrays
- this ends up causing an InternalServerError
- this commit checks the input type is an object
- spotted in Sentry
refs #10790
refs #9528
- The settings service was designed to handle more settings then just routing, but till this day there wasn't anything else added. As routes.yaml is only being used by frontend router so conceptually it fits better to have this code in frontend, so that it doesn't have to reach out to server
- The code left in server settings is the one that interacts with the database `settings` table and only partially provides information to frontend. That part is known as 'settings cache' and will be accessed through API controllers.
