Put all web assets including plugin assets under a shared static/ route
in the web interface that's declared as immutable and cacheable for 1
year. This allows all JavaScript bundles to be loaded from disk instead
of having to check with the web server each time and significantly
speeds up the web interface load time. It also fixes the public path
issue when using the --dev-plugin option behind a proxy.
To prevent collisions and stale data all assets now include a hash in
the filename. This means the entrypoint is now dynamic and specified in
a manifest.json file created from the web build. For plugins this means
the filename attribute needs to be removed from webpack.config.js.
The prepare script runs before publishing a package, after installation
of a package from source, and when running npm install without
arguments in the repository. These are the times where a build of the
web interface files are required to make the web interface work and
removes a manual step from using the package(s). The "build" script on
the other hand is never automatically invoked by npm.
The ajv module was made shared to reduce package size, but it turned out
the package size was large because of a missunderstanding in how imports
to sub-paths works with module federation. Since that was fixed the ajv
module was no longer shared, but plugins incorrectly still specified it.
In order to import a path inside packages/lib/ in the webpack shared
module environment it has to be declared as shared in both the web_ui
webpack config and the plugin's webpack config. This is rather error
prone and easy to miss. Move the burden of specifying which entrypoints
are valid in lib to lib itself by changing all imports in the web
interface code to import from @clusterio/lib instead sub paths.
For web code this means imports is done like this from now on:
import { libConfig, libLink } from "@clusterio/lib";
For info.js which has to be loadable by both Node.js and web code the
imports are done as follows:
const { libConfig, libLink } = require("@clusterio/lib");
While the Node.js only code can either continue to import sub paths
directly or use the info.js style.
The Node.js specific rules for Eslint were deprecated in favour of the
node plugin for Eslint. Add node plugin for eslint and switch over to
using its rules, fixing any issues detected.
Move the depenedncies needed to run the tests into test/package.json and
manage it using lerna. This should make it easier to selectively
install only what's needed to run the software.
Simplify the the way markdown files are formatted to make them easier to
author without editors that do auto line breaking, and make the diffs
from them simpler to read.
Change to "auto" as the publicPath to have webpack deduce the correct
path at runtime. This fixes an issue with plugins being unable to be
loaded due to trying to load bundles from the wrong path when the web
interface is hosted under a proxied sub-path.
The web files for plugins were hosted at /plugin/plugin_name/ while the
view page for a plugin is hosted at /plugins/plugin_name/view. Reduce
confusion by making both urls use the plural version.
Add hidden development option to run the webpack compiller for the given
plugin(s) similar to the --dev option for the built-in web interface.
This requires publicPath to be set in the webpack config and an updated
version of webpack-dev-middleware to function correctly.
The module sharing in Webpack works on a per import basis and therefore
doesn't trigger when the value in the config is @clusterio/lib while the
module imported is @clusterio/lib/config. This in turn caused a copy of
lib to be bundled with each plugin. Fix by making sure each lib import
is shared and specified in the configs.
Add page listing the plugins installed on the master along with a
detailed page for each plugin with fields from their package.json.
Failure to load the module and version missmatch is also reported.
This adds ./packages.json as required part of the webpack module.
Remove the need for installing babel and the webpack loaders used in the
webpack.common.js file separately by resolving them from the web_ui
package. This allows future changes to done to the modules used without
having to update them in each plugin that uses the web_ui common config.
Move the target folder for the built web interface to dist/web/ instead
of static/. This better follows the norm for npm packages to include
built files in the dist/ folder and also allows putting other built
files into that folder in the future.
Add a sendRcon method to BaseInstancePlugin and the slave's Instance
class. This servers two purposes, one is to reduce the repetition when
send RCON commands particularly from plugins, and the other is to
instrument the RCON commands sent with metrics about duration and size.
Fix the issue with paths resolving incorrectly for the webpack config
when running the master server with the --dev option from the project
root folder through either npx clusteriomaster or node packages/master
Use lib* prefix for the modules impored from the lib package to help
distinguish them more from ordinary variables. Fix up the naming
convention for files to be consistently lowercase_underscore for
JavaScript files.
Avoid any potential for accidentally installing multiple copies of
clusterio/lib by specifiying it as a peer dependency instead of a
regular dependency.
Split up codebase into the packages @clsterio/lib, @clusterio/master,
@clusterio/slave, and @clusterio/ctl using lerna to manage them. This
will allow deployment to use only the parts needed reducing install
size, and better separate the code into shared library, master, slave
and control.
Implement notification to plugins for disconnect request, connect, drop,
and close. This allows plugins to properly handle slaves and the master
server shutting down without sending messages that will get lost.
Fix missing module declarations, broken lings, broken formating and
incorrect scopes in the documentation. For modules split over several
files it appears the only viable option is to use the memberof directive
on each documented member and only declare the index file as a module.
