Kevin Ansfield c646e78fff Made session.user a synchronous property rather than a promise
no issue

Having `session.user` return a promise made dealing with it in components difficult because you always had to remember it returned a promise rather than a model and had to handle the async behaviour. It also meant that you couldn't use any current user properties directly inside getters which made refactors to Glimmer/Octane idioms harder to reason about.

`session.user` was a cached computed property so it really made no sense for it to be a promise - it was loaded on first access and then always returned instantly but with a fulfilled promise rather than the  underlying model.

Refactoring to a synchronous property that is loaded as part of the authentication flows (we load the current user to check that we're logged in - we may as well make use of that!) means one less thing to be aware of/remember and provides a nicer migration process to Glimmer components. As part of the refactor, the auth flows and pre-load of required data across other services was also simplified to make it easier to find and follow.

- refactored app setup and `session.user`
  - added `session.populateUser()` that fetches a user model from the current user endpoint and sets it on `session.user`
  - removed knowledge of app setup from the `cookie` authenticator and moved it into = `session.postAuthPreparation()`, this means we have the same post-authentication setup no matter which authenticator is used so we have more consistent behaviour in tests which don't use the `cookie` authenticator
  - switched `session` service to native class syntax to get the expected `super()` behaviour
  - updated `handleAuthentication()` so it populate's `session.user` and performs post-auth setup before transitioning (handles sign-in after app load)
  - updated `application` route to remove duplicated knowledge of app preload behaviour that now lives in `session.postAuthPreparation()` (handles already-authed app load)
  - removed out-of-date attempt at pre-loading data from setup controller as that's now handled automatically via `session.handleAuthentication`
- updated app code to not treat `session.user` as a promise
  - predominant usage was router `beforeModel` hooks that transitioned users without valid permissions, this sets us up for an easier removal of the `current-user-settings` mixin in the future

Ghost Admin Client

Ember.js application used as a client-side admin for the Ghost blogging platform. This readme is a work in progress guide aimed at explaining the specific nuances of the Ghost Ember app to contributors whose main focus is on this side of things.

CSS

We use pure CSS, which is pre-processed for backwards compatibility by Myth. We do not follow any strict CSS framework, however our general style is pretty similar to BEM.

Styles are primarily broken up into 4 main categories:

  • Patterns - are base level visual styles for HTML elements (eg. Buttons)
  • Components - are groups of patterns used to create a UI component (eg. Modals)
  • Layouts - are groups of components used to create application screens (eg. Settings)

All of these separate files are subsequently imported and compiled in app.css.

Front End Standards

  • 4 spaces for HTML & CSS indentation. Never tabs.
  • Double quotes only, never single quotes.
  • Use tags and elements appropriate for an HTML5 doctype (including self-closing tags)
  • Adhere to the Recess CSS property order.
  • Always a space after a property's colon (.e.g, display: block; and not display:block;).
  • End all lines with a semi-colon.
  • For multiple, comma-separated selectors, place each selector on its own line.
  • Use js- prefixed classes for JavaScript hooks into the DOM, and never use these in CSS as per Slightly Obtrusive JavaSript
  • Avoid over-nesting CSS. Never nest more than 3 levels deep.
  • Use comments to explain "why" not "what" (Good: This requires a z-index in order to appear above mobile navigation. Bad: This is a thing which is always on top!)
