- 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 :)
- Moved ghost-locals from shared to parent as it is not shared
- This file is only used in one place, this updates the code structure to reflect this
- This is one of many similar changes needed to make it easier to refactor to the existing setup
- This allows shared middleware to be unhooked from the parent app
