- Added a serializer called default to the canary API
- Ideally, this would be part of the shared framework, but this would change v2/v3 and we're about to get rid of them
- Therefore, we change just canary for now, and we can refactor again later.
- Added wiring to handler that uses the default serializer, if there is a default, and isn't an explicit serializer for the endpoint
- Removed the invites serializer, so that one endpoint now uses the default
Note: previous commits have added explicit serializers to every endpoint, this is the first step towards paring
that back so that we have less serializers overall, not more!
- Have ensured we have 100% coverage of core/server/api/shared/serializers/handle.js
- This meant I had to swap around two validation clauses as one was unreachable
- I have done this as I want to make some changes in this area of the codebase, and want to ensure we have tests
and a clear understanding of what this code does before I change it
no issue
The only pieces of Ghost-Ignition used in Ghost were debug and
logging. Both of these modules have been superceded by the Framework
monorepo, and all usages of Ignition have now been removed, replaced
with @tryghost/debug and @tryghost/logging.
- deleted files under `core/server/lib/promise` and related test files
- added `@tryghost/promise` as a dependency
- fixed all local requires to point to the new package

- Not all of them need to be updated; only updating the ones that are
causing failures

refs #10286
- v2 no longer exposes x_by fields (published_by, updated_by, created_by)
- we will add a brand new concept called activity stream/actions soon
refs #9326, refs #9866
**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
