API Create stateOverride state for schema
Enhancement Moved crumbs property to rely on redux state
Enhancement Updated file app icon names
API Added InsertMediaModal functionality to HtmlEditorField
API Removed dependency on schema ID that is returned from server
API Added afterMessages property for FormBuilder to display content after the alert message
- Removed custom form reducers in favour of redux-form (updateField(), addForm(), etc)
- Storing 'state' in schema reducer to avoid a separate forms reducer tree (no longer needed for other use cases). This means 'state' is only the "initial state", any form edits will be handled by redux-form internally in the 'reduxForm' reducer namespace
- Removed componentWillUnmount() from <Form> since there's no more reducer state to clean up (removed formReducer.js), and redux-form handles that internally
- Removed isFetching state from <FormBuilder> since there's now a props.submitting coming from redux-form
- Improved passing of "clicked button" (submittingAction), using component state rather than reducer and passing it into action handlers (no need for components to inspect it any other way)
- Hacky duplication of this.submittingAction and this.state.submittingAction to avoid re-render of <FormBuilder> *during* a submission (see https://github.com/erikras/redux-form/issues/1944)
- Inlined handleSubmit() XHR (rather than using a redux action). There's other ways for form consumers to listen to form evens (e.g. onSubmitSuccess passed through <FormBuilder> into reduxForm()).
- Adapting checkbox/radio fields to redux-forms
Need to send onChange event with values rather than the original event,
see http://redux-form.com/6.1.1/docs/api/Field.md/#-input-onchange-eventorvalue-function-
- Using reduxForm() within render() causes DOM to get thrown away,
and has weird side effects like https://github.com/erikras/redux-form/issues/1944.
See https://github.com/erikras/redux-form/issues/603#issuecomment-176397728
- Refactored <FormBuilderLoader> as a separate container component which connects to redux and redux-form. This keeps the <FormBuilder> component dependency free and easy to test. It'll also be an advantage if we switch to a GraphQL backed component, in which case the async loading routines will look very different from the current <FormBuilderLoader> implementation
- Refactoring out the redux-form dependency from FormBuilder to make it more testable (through baseFormComponent and baseFieldComponent)
- Passing through 'form' to allow custom identifiers (which is important because currently the schema "id" contains the record identifier, making the form identifier non-deterministic - which means you can't use it with the redux-form selector API)
SCSS linting now uses the node-based sass-lint tool, since we’re
shifting away from CodeClimate.
This has the benefit of not requiring a ruby gem on dev tools -
everything is provided as npm dev dependencies.
This was also necessary to run the linting inside travis.
The ‘npm run lint’ command will be used to run listing on Travis, which
can also be used on local dev environments. These can also be used with
editor plugins to highlight errors immediately.
The intention is that this can be used in place of codeclimate. The
benefits are that we use a single toolchain in both CI and local dev,
which is not entirely the case at the moment.
Note the sass-lint is provided by “sudo gem install scss_lint”. It’s
possible that we can move to a node-based sass-lint; I can’t recall
what the motivation for using the scss_lint gem was - I think it was
mainly that we had the AirBNB styleguide already implemented as a linter
config.
Multiple entry points can't result in a single bundle.css with a fixed filename, see
https://github.com/webpack/extract-text-webpack-plugin/issues/179
Until that's resolved, it's easier to keep the 'css' task separate in Webpack,
and have a single entry point for all CSS (bundle.scss).
Also partially reverting "Moved frontend assets into admin/ "module"",
which moved too many files: debug.css and install.css need to remain
as framework (not admin) deps. Split out into a separate `framework-css` Webpack
task in preparation for splitting off the module.
These were originally copied from node_modules via an "npm run thirdparty" task,
in order to have them loadable with oldschool <script> tags.
Since webpack supports CommonJS-style loading, that's no longer required,
we can simply inline those scripts into the bundle.
We need to use imports-loader though, in order to ensure
that "define" is not available in some module scopes,
which triggers AMD behavior that's not compatible with Webpack's loaders.
See http://webpack.github.io/docs/shimming-modules.html
I've had to pin to the exact versions used in the 3.x CMS,
since jquery-upload has introduced an AMD wrapper sometime
between 6.0 and 6.9 (the latest version NPM automatically pulls in).
This AMD wrapper confuses Webpack, since it's trying to resolve the
dependencies contained in it. We could create shims for those instead,
but the easiest way was to simply revert to the versions already used
before the Webpack migration (since the newer versions in node_modules
were never actually copied into thirdparty, they weren't used before).
Responsibility for finding and referencing images and fonts is now
given to webpack. All the url references are now relative to the
component scss file, and point to font & images files in src/, rather
than assuming someone else will place them in dist.
This makes the source more modular, and makes it easier to, for
example, inline images are data URIs, or create a new build script that
builds several modules for a project in a single pass.
Workaround for bad font path in bundle.css:
ExtactTextPlugin didn’t work as well with a subfolder reference in the
filename. This is just a short-term fix and could probably be improved
to put bundle.css back in the styles subfolder.

Clarify docs on spriting and webfonts:
We've decided to remove sprity since it comes with hundreds of dependencies,
and needs compilation within the "npm install" - dragging out the already overweight
install process, and making the resulting node_modules/ folder less portable between systems.
The bundle is generated by running “webpack” directly - gulp is no
longer needed as an intermediary. The resulting config is a lot shorter,
although more configuration is pushed into lib.js.
Modules are shared between javascript files as global variables.
Although this global state pollution is a bit messy, I don’t think it’s
practically any worse than the previous state, and it highlights the
heavy coupling between the different packages we have in place.
Reducing the width of the coupling between the core javascript and
add-on modules would probably be a better way of dealing with this than
replacing global variables with some other kind of global state.
The web pack execution seems roughly twice as fast - if I clear out my
framework/client/dist/js folder, it takes 13.3s to rebuild. However,
it’s not rebuilding other files inside dist, only the bundle files.
CSS files are now included from javascript and incorporated into
bundle.css by the webpack. Although the style-loader is helpful in some
dev workflows (it allows live reload), it introduces a flash of
unstyled content which makes it inappropriate for production.
Instead ExtractTextPlugin is used to write all the aggregated CSS
into a single bundle.css file. A style-loader-based configuration could
be introduced for dev environments, if we make use of the webpack live
reloader in the future.
Note that the following features have been removed as they don't appear to be
necessary when using Webpack:
- UMD module generation
- thirdparty dist file copying
LeftAndMain.js deps: Without it, ssui.core.js gets loaded too late,
which leads e.g. to buttons being initialised without this added behaviour.
SilverStripeBackend now has a createEndpointFetcher method, described
in its docblock in more detail.
It’s based the asset-admin code for apiCallerFromEndpoint(). It’s
refactored and generalised into framework in order to provide a
general-purpose API for tying Javascript components to backend APIs.
@todo: tests
Renaming state operations from 'campaign' to 'record'.
Implemented API endpoint retrieval of GridField data.
Added more mock data into CampaignAdmin (rather than hardcoding in client),
to be replaced by CampaignAdmin API endpoint querying the real datamodel.
Using more native isomorphic-fetch instead of jQuery.ajax
to minimise dependencies and get into a more forward-thinking API.
Also catching errors in ReactJS API backend:
Emulate jQuery.ajax() behaviour. Might change at a later point
if we have a general purpose backend with a promise-based catch()
implementation.
- Removes thirdparty dependency History.js
- Adds thirdparty dependency Page.js to manage client-side routing
- Adds a wrapper around Page.js for SilverStripe specific behaviour
- Increased minimum browser requirement to IE10. Native HTML History API routing requires IE10 or newer (necessitated by removal of History.js)
- PJAX pannel loading via now uses promises rather than callbacks
- Adds getClientConfig method to LeftAndMain which can be used to pass config from to the front-end client
Uses https://github.com/uber/npm-shrinkwrap instead of the built-in "npm shrinkwrap" since it works more reliably.
Specifically, "npm install" doesn't fail depending on node_modules/ being installed in the local cache or not.
It also makes npm-shrinkwrap.json easier to diff by more consistently ordering its output between runs.
If you need any convincing that this is a problem, look at the over 400 issues related to "shrinkwrap"
in https://github.com/npm/npm/search?q=shrinkwrap&type=Issues&utf8=%E2%9C%93
