Add optional arguments to Request and Event to control which properties
are required to be present in the payload. This allows gracefully
extending the protocol, reducing overhead for optional data, and leaving
properties out for additional behaviour.
Fix the validation loging for sending responses to requests not
functioning due to the message data property being passed incorrectly to
the validator.
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.
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.
Add users, roles and permissions and rework the authentication to use
separate user and slave tokens for control and slave connections
respectively.
Add commands for listing permissions, roles and users, and creating,
editing and deleting roles and users.
Send a mapping of the plugins the master server has loaded to slaves
vice versa. Limit the plugins that may be loaded by instances to only
those that the master server has loaded.
Replace socket.io with plain WebSocket using the ws library as it
doesn't really provide any useful tools over plain WebSocket when it
comes to implementing reliable communication that works across
reconnects. The widespread browser support for WebSocket also means
it has little value to add for the web interface over WebSocket.
Validate messages sent over links with the json schema provided from
them. This aids debugging as an exception will be thrown from the code
sending the bad content.
Change Instance class to be a subclass of Link and refactor the
communication to and establisment of instances to use a virtual
connection between the slave and the instance. This is simplifies the
implementation of plugin communication for instances.
Replace InstanceRequest with a forwardTo option to Request which does
the task of forwarding in a much cleaner way.
Replace the sources/targets concept with a links array in the message
definitions. Fixes the problem of the actual links the messages applies
to being ambigious when there's multiple sources and targets.
Remove connection and client subclasses of Link and put the connection
logic into a "connector" class. The connector deals with sending
and receiving messages, handling the connection and reconnection of lost
connections and giving sequence numbers to messages.
This move the logic of the actual connection away from the link
sub-classes, which in turn means the connection should be a lot easier
to mock in tests.
Rework client.js to support running multiple instances at once and be
managed remotely and implement the neccessary communication
infrastructure for this.
Due to circular dependencies on the implementation of this the master
branch is significantly broken after this.
