This is really only for check if a particular channel exists for /messages/recent's backend
* Flattening db-lib::Message::last_n
SHould make code more readable as it now has a more linear flow
* api::Messages::recent_messages now 404's when a channel that doesn't exist is request
Problem: the old test suite was extremely inflexible
This meant that making new tests took way too much time.
+ This new rework makes the new client's backend much thinner and less "magical"
With less magic going on we can pass way more data more easily to the actual
http-request engine making the convenience wrapper over top it much more flexible
Translating old tests to the new engine might take a while but for now the old
client codebase is completely deprecated and will no longer be used+updated
Better matching against return types so we're not throwing away errors
This just entails swapping the if let for a match statement
* db-lib::Message::send has more updated docs on what variants of Response it returns
* api::messages::send_message has better error logging now and more relevant comments
This is more heavily used in Message::send as a way of discerning "real" server errors
from those that are caused by user input. The name itself might not be super fitting either
* Moving code for inserting textual messages into its own function
This splits up the logic a bit for Message::send but this segment of logic is also
much simpler than that of file upload
* Flattening Message::send overall
Keeping this function as flat as can be is crucial as it is one of the heavier+most
important funcs in the whole JSON API codebase
Files are now also generated correctly and asynchronously
+ Adding new flags to sample .env file
+ Wrapper script run-api-tests.sh which does as its called
- Removing build.sh in favor of run-api-tests.sh
Makefile takes care of building, and apitests are ran with special script anyway
This api method is made for clients to easily say "give me the n[1,100] latest
messages in some channel
This commit contains code that is largely untested but contains some base code
such that I can correct issues in the next _tested_ commit
+ Better error logging in cache
! There is still lots of debug logs which at some point need to be built _out_ from prod builds
Also I need some prod builds
+ Adding more return type annotations for clarity/docs sake
- Removed ancient docs in messages module as they were basically just straight up wrong
+ messages module was for some reason still using legacy url generation(fixed that)
+ switching types to use bigint since everything is u64/i64 on the backend
Interface for this is fiddly and probably requires real docs to be further developed
without losing my mind doc the whole cache at some point
+ New cache ipc handlers for adding a new open web socket
Web socket comes with some basic listeners, however very litte/nothing
is being done check the health of these connections or to try when possible.
+ Cache now adds actual message objects to its message arrays instead of raw strings (wew)
+ Events module has been added to move the parsing logic/validation away from everything else
+ The basic Event structure has some niftier-than-you-think behavior for data acccess which the cache can leverage for more concise+ correct behavior
! Start taking public user params like this in the JWT to reduce on network hits
It's cheap and reliable enough but the idea just now came to me so do that at some point
+ Cache is no longer contained in app structure
This should let us later throw this into an Arc<Mutex<>> for better
async support.
! Also more cache access safety is being done on the front end because the cahe doesn't guarantee much on access
Perhaps some convenience wrappers would make this look nicer(with inline)
!!! Main needs a lot of flattening
It's technically not much of a problem since most of the code behind 1/2 match's
which really just bloat the hell out of indentation making it look bad when its not _that_ bad.
However it still bugs me so I should probably do something about that(also (inline))
From this point forward the cache should basically just be a data container.
Methods on the cache object are there for convenience and should only ever
return very simple data [booleans, integers, () etc.].
The cache should also have very litter/no concept of commands to decouple it
from the renderer process.
! list_channels is still implemented in the cache however it remaains a vestige
and will be moved to the net module
Also the client is getting some new packages for websocket connections and
while they work some additional work has to be put in to figure out where fug to
actually place the websocket so that it can update the cache+DOM in a seomewhat sensible fashion
Json-bigint should help alleviate this issue by correctly parsing numbers for us
- Removing url method in favor of new url property in server config model
+ Building UserConfigs and ServerConfig from typical JS Obects
This should reduce some up front complexity regarding parameters
! Fix: using new url property instead of protocol + host + port
- Reducing upfront complexity of public channels API
* Also moving to using new updated server.url property
* Channels also handles its part of updating the dom now
bigint parsing in configs now
* More switches to server.url property
Of course this is an issue because we can no longer get data from the user
A full rearchitecting may be in order here however its not impossible to modify the current architecture so far
The main issue here is that the cache is doing too much I think
If the termion(main input) task does its thing, and a socket task,
waits around waiting to build a sub task(socket) then we may be able to
pass messages to the socket task to open up sockets when request
This allows us to have shared state via message passing and a main task
can take care of updating the cache.
The renderer can then request data from the cache when it needs to render stuff
* Jwt is now given over the query string as many websocket libraries make
it hard to pass header parameters
Parsing these values should also work fine but we'll see in time
Issue was that we weren't sending the correct headers/body data(ya I know)
- Removing mouse control from app since its completel irrelevant
!+ Putting app messagses behind a mutex for now since they are written to by
sockets and renderer process in the next few patches
More agressive channel caching may be required here but it works as an MVP for now
* Switch to hashmap for container of channel caches instead of vector
This should help with cache accesses as we don't have to iterate anymore
Also it makes data fetches much cleaner/shorthanded
* net::list_channels has its own private structure for collecting channels vector
This is basically required and is in the scope of the func itsefl to not pollute any other namespaces
! No wrapper goes around this module to avoid fragmentation
Note that basically every network hit is built around try's so they'll all return
HttpResult<T>'s
Technically everything is there but I haven't really tested anything yet
Will 100% need fixing + optimizing
+ Switch server Command also working
! Requires a jwt check to avoid expensive+unnecssary network /login hits
! Probably have to hold onto the input to avoid spam somehow
ChannelCache is nearly ready for manipulation
+ Option to enable/disable message-box borders
* Switching over to using bold! macro where applicable (especially in command.rs)
This change mostly reduces the eyesoreness of the termion code
+ Option to enable/disable message-box borders
* Switching over to using bold! macro where applicable
This change mostly reduces the eyesoreness of the termion code
* Also changed up the naming scheme to be more clear
* Config -> ConfigFile
- Removed ConfigFile::server_url method
! The ConfigFile struct is now pretty much entirely used for disk operations
* update_jwt method also take in correct parameters
+ New notify driver function which does the network magic we need
+ Adding event emitters for the following events
"delete-channel"
"create-channel"
"update-nick"
+ Server claims are now also generated per request so this could get some benefit from caching the jwt
One idea is to cache a jwt for a temporary amount of time
+ event! macro also lets us generate json payloads more easily
! Still requiring this module to built under an optional feature however that should be done easily
Basically the peer map system that we had before isn't going to work simply because
succesful client connections already have the data we need inside them.
Adding a whole wrapper around this just complicates things in a way that doesn't
really give any benefit.
For now every message is echo'd to all connections but that is easy enough to change
The JSON-API can't _really_ use regular http requests because this server then has to do a lot of
multi-threading nonsense.
For the sake of simplicity for myself and others that try to write their own FC
compliant servers: the rtc server(for now) only takes in websocket requests,
and attemptes to discern servers from users connections for event handling
This version comes with the benefit of having much more concise exec_map functionality among other things
This commit and the following ones also move db-lib to using a more 'try' based approach
+ Rtc server takes in new-message correctly but with basically no ux/auth for now
This should be fine as we can layer on security afterwards with no issue
* Renamed db helper function to be (debatably) more clear in its intentions
That function and everything in that module is quickly become awful however
+ Adding some notes for later db-lib development
! Initial id size will stay as u64 but u128 are easily the next major change
This change shouldn't break clients written in high level languages since most already use 128's under the hood anyway
- This commit also removes the auto_increment flag from basically everything that uses RNG id's
! Requirements for variable message fetching not yet met
! /message/get?id=<id> needs a way of passing back file contents
! The file upload is sketchy at best and not necessarily guaranteed to sync the
database with the file system
Authorization is required for implementation
So is a proper messaging model to make implementation clean and scalable
For now this serves as a good starting point for the rest of this project
* Fixed weird match with get_online_members
+ Now using special(smoll) Public Member struct for public member data fetches as.
They're size on networks should be pretty small so we can package a ton of them in a single request
DOCS changes:
- Removing references to unix timestamps in seconds
- Removing references to joindate
* Exact content-type values now specified
+ Auth module now uses std::time for time based calculations
! All time notations are i64 and rounded to the Millisecond
* Moving db pool to a lazy static to avoid constructing a whole pool on every request
+ Adding more logging per request, even if its lazy logging
* Content-Types are now correctly written per type
Removig chrono from api code as well
Removing chrono as dep in api code
+ Using Content-Type for /message/send content type
Updating cargo lists for removal of fluff deps
Removal of more fluff
Addking makefile to avoid compiling debug builds by accident while developing
This patch is simply meant to mark the beginning of the newest phase for the tui build.
I've 100% settled on using termion as the backend and marking what is done so far
Renderer side:
Termion has a similar issue where moving data happens very quietly so its best
if the two (renderer and cache) have the their data to use as they please
Cache Side:
Basically we own the data we're using because we constantly have to mutate data
ourselves
Config in the middle:
Mutable but only from the rendering side because the cache is completely transient
It technically to own its data but it does anyway because the render(backend)
likes to consume data like there's no tomorrow
The main reason for this change is for writing more descriptive code
Such a change isn't impossible with JS but requires annoying doccing that most dev environments don't really pick up on ever
Also the cache system is goingto be much more complex than anything else in this project so static compilation should help remove annoyances
✨ Channels list now fully asynchronous
✨ html pusher is now its own function for cleanness
➕ New ANY_CHANNEL integer is supported by the backend for requesting all channels in one go instead of voice|text
➖ Removed more callback hell code
✨ JSDocs updated to reflect their respective function signatures
