The URL to request the schema representation is the unique identifier.
We can't default to $request->getURL() since that's different for form submissions.
The schema.schema_url key is redundant, since the identifier is already contained on the top level 'id' key.
Keeping schema_url in a schema itself makes it less portable, particularly once we transition into
generic schemas which are not reliant on a particular record context (that's only contained in the schema_url)
This also fixes the issue of form schemas not refreshing after submit,
e.g. when form fields are added or removed.
NEW: Add SilverStripe\ORM\UnexpectedDataException class.
This change provides more graceful handling of the case where a
ChangeSetItem is referencing a no-longer-existing class.
The new exception, SilverStripe\ORM\UnexpectedDataException, is
intended to be available for throwing whenever we have unexpected data
in the database.
It can be trapped by the relevant UIs and more graceful errors than
HTTP 500s can be provided.
* Rename bundles (prep for webpack optimisation)
This might or might not reduce the overall repo size,
because git can combine similar chunks in the newly generated files
* Optimise webpack build time
Consolidates bundles, since a separation of bundle-framework.js vs. bundle-legacy.js
vs. bundle-lib.js no longer makes sense - they're all loaded upfront anyway,
since we'll be introducing more react-powered logic alongside the "legacy" JavaScript.
By consolidating into fewer bundles, we give the optimisation scripts (UglifyJS)
more options to reduce the overall file size.
The main motivation for a vendor.js is to shorten rebuild times:
Most active development is happening in files required through bundle.js.
This commit drastically reduces the rebuild time for those changes (15s to 4s).
Code was assuming that FRAMEWORK_DIR would always have a value. If it
doesn’t (because you’re running a test instance of a naked framework)
This caused URLs to be treated as root relative, which creates some
duplicate-inclusion bugs.
The use of ltrim() works, but is a bit clumsy. A more flexible approach
to including front-end assets of given modules would be preferable;
ideally something that also let you keep your code outside of the
web root.
The 'admin' module will be split off from 'framework',
where 'framework' only provides (mostly) frontend-agnostic PHP classes.
For example, HTMLEditorField.php has a TinyMCEConfig.php driver,
but doesn't come with its own JS includes.
There's not a lot of benefit in packaging these separately in terms of initial CMS load size,
so let's simplify the setup. They'll eventually become lazy loaded chunks in a React-based setup
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.
Webpack handles images & fonts:

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.
It was used to support different display variations in admin/assets and admin/pages,
while those display variations should've been removed in the first place (and have been now).
