- Card asset reloading was incorrectly only happening if the API version changed 🙈
- In addition, having an init function was redundant, as theme activation happens on boot
- This meant that the card assets were being generated twice on boot
- Instead, we now only generate them on theme activation, which covers the boot case and simplifies all the logic
closes: https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/issues/13739
- Ghost cannot write to the core folder in correctly configured production installations
- Built assets therefore need to be written to the content directory
- Ghost does not overwrite anything in the content folder as part of an upgrade, therefore static files that are provided by Ghost
must still live inside /core
- So as a result, we now have core/frontend/public and content/public
- This comment removes the block on themes controlling card assets via config
- It also changes the default behaviour from "false" config (doing nothing) to excluding bookmark and gallery card assets
- This is essentially the same thing, as only bookmark and gallery card assets exist at the moment, but it's being done because it makes this feature future-proof for all theme developers.
- As we add new cards, all themes will automatically get the assets to make them work
- As theme developers want to, they can create their own custom assets and disble assets for any cards they support by adding them to the exclude list
- They can also remove any custom code they currently have to support bookmark and gallery cards, and set card_assets: true in package.json to use the defaults instead
- Requires the new @tryghost/minifier package
- Adds a new service that will handle taking config from the theme and optionally including assets for Koenig editor cards
- It supports both css and js as cards may need one or both
- For any given config, the tool can find the matching files to include and concat and minify them into one file per type
- Currently has an override in place so that this is not yet customisable in the theme - will remove this override when we're ready for the feature
