- This fits more closely, as this service is to so with rendering helpers and small parts
- Whereas we want to use "rendering" for things concerned with rendering pages
- The helper registration code is "framework" code and very specific
- At the moment the "theme engine" is full of lots of disparate theme related stuff
- I'm trying to make the frontend framework code clearer and also expand it to make it more useful
- The helper system now also exposes 3 methods allowing you to register a directory, a helper or an alias
- I've updated the codebase to use these both for our core helpers and for "apps"
- The original intention of the proxy was to collect up all the requires in our helpers into one place
- This has since been expanded and used in more places, in more ways
- In hindsight there are now multiple different types of requires in the proxy:
- One: true frontend rendering framework requires (stuff from deep inside theme-engine)
- Two: data manipulation/sdk stuff, belongs to the frontend, ways to process API data
- Three: actual core stuff from Ghost, that we wish wasn't here / needs to be passed in a controlled way
- This commit pulls out One into a new rendering service, so at least that stuff is managed independently
- This draws the lines clearly between what's internal to the frontend and what isn't
- It also highlights that the theme-engine needs to be divided up / refactored so that we don't have these deep requires

- This syntax gives easier understanding of modules dependencies and improves searchability. For exampke, I was looking for all "api" uses exposed by the server proxy and didn't have a clear picture into which modules used it.
- The change was made during a short-lived try to limit the use of "api" in the server proxy :) I thought it would be helpful when bumping the defult server API exposed internally. Next time!
- All var declarations are now const or let as per ES6
- All comma-separated lists / chained declarations are now one declaration per line
- This is for clarity/readability but also made running the var-to-const/let switch smoother
- ESLint rules updated to match
How this was done:
- npm install -g jscodeshift
- git clone https://github.com/cpojer/js-codemod.git
- git clone git@github.com:TryGhost/Ghost.git shallow-ghost
- cd shallow-ghost
- jscodeshift -t ../js-codemod/transforms/unchain-variables.js . -v=2
- jscodeshift -t ../js-codemod/transforms/no-vars.js . -v=2
- yarn
- yarn test
- yarn lint / fix various lint errors (almost all indent) by opening files and saving in vscode
- grunt test-regression
- sorted!
- The proxy is not a helper, we want the helpers folder to only include helpers
- The proxy is also meant to be the interface to Ghost for the helpers, and we want to enforce that
- This is a small step on the way
