* Module-ize server routes and add static file support (#2510)
* Refactor server routes to modules
New module type: serverroute
Caveats: Loading order is not deterministic but this would only matter
if two route modules attempted to use the same path regexp (that would
be silly).
* Add static assets plugin
This plugin allows the node server to fetch static assets in the /assets
directory. I felt that this was a feature that goes above the core
functionality. That is why I added it as a plugin. with the modular
route extensions this was a breeze.
* Add serverroute description to ModuleTypes
* Coding standards tweaks
* Fix filename typo
* Move support for attachments from a plugin into the core
* Missing "else"
* Refactor server handling
* Introduce a new named parameter scheme for commands
* Move the SimpleServer class into it's own module
* Deprecate the --server command because of the unwieldy syntax
* Add a new --listen command using the new syntax
For example:
tiddlywiki mywiki --listen host:0.0.0.0 port:8090
* Add check for unknown parameters
* Add support for multiple basic authentication credentials in a CSV file
Beware: Passwords are stored in plain text. If that's a problem, use an authenticating proxy and the trusted header authentication approach.
* Refactor module locations
* Rename "serverroute" module type to "route"
* Remove support for verifying optional named command parameters
The idea was to be able to flag unknown parameter names, but requiring a command to pre-specify all the parameter names makes it harder for (say) the listen command to be extensible so that plugins can add new optional parameters that they handle. (This is particularly in the context of work in progress to encapsulate authenticators into their own modules).
* Refactor the two authenticators into separate modules and add support for authorization
* Correct mistaken path.join vs. path.resolve
See https://stackoverflow.com/a/39836259
* Docs for the named command parameters
I'd be grateful if anyone with sufficient Windows experience could confirm that the note about double quotes in "NamedCommandParameters" is correct.
* Be consistent about lower case parameter names
* Do the right thing when we have a username but no password
With a username parameter but no password parameter we'll attribute edits to that username, but not require authentication.
* Remove obsolete code
* Add support for requiring authentication without restricting the username
* Refactor authorization checks
* Return read_only status in /status response
* Fix two code typos
* Add basic support for detecting readonly status and avoiding write errors
We now have syncadaptors returning readonly status and avoid attempting to write to the server if it's going to fail
* Add readonly-styles
We hide editing-related buttons in read only mode
I've made this part of the tiddlyweb plugin but I think a case could be made for putting it into the core.
* Add custom request header as CSRF mitigation
By default we require the header X-Requested-With to be set to TiddlyWiki. Can be overriden by setting csrfdisable to "yes"
See https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Cross-Site_Request_Forgery_(CSRF)_Prevention_Cheat_Sheet#Protecting_REST_Services:_Use_of_Custom_Request_Headers
* Add support for HTTPS
* First pass at a route for serving rendered tiddlers
cc @Drakor
* Tweaks to the single tiddler static view
Adding a simple sidebar
* Switch to "dash" separated parameter names
* Typo
* Docs: Update ServerCommand and ListenCommand
* First pass at docs for the new web server stuff
Writing the docs is turning out to be quite an undertaking, much harder than writing the code!
* Get rid of extraneous paragraphs in static renderings
* Rejig anonymous user handling
Now we can support wikis that are read-only for anonymous access, but allow a user to login for read/write access.
* More docs
Slowly getting there...
* Static tiddler rendering: Fix HTML content in page title
* Docs updates
* Fix server command parameter names
Missed off 30ce7ea
* Docs: Missing quotes
* Avoid inadvertent dependency on Node.js > v9.6.0
The listenOptions parameter of the plain HTTP version of CreateServer was only introduced in v9.6.0

* Typo
At the moment, we support JSON files containing an array of tiddlers.
With this change the core will import files containing a single
tiddler. Also adding templates for saving individual tiddlers in JSON
format
Passing the static content through the `$:/core/templates/html-tiddler`
template made it impossible to produce output that wasn’t HTML encoded
(eg stylesheets).
New export button appears as a page control toolbar button, a tiddler
toolbar button, and a button in the advanced search filter tab.
Initially supports exporting as static HTML, CSV, JSON or `.tid` file.
Still to do:
* Made the exporter descriptions translatable
* Hide the export button by default
* User docs
* Cleaning up the existing templates (eg,
`$:/core/templates/alltiddlers.template.html` should work by
transcluding `$:/core/templates/exporters/Static`)
* Docs for the new macros `exportButton`, `csvtiddlers` and
`jsontiddlers`
Issues:
* OS X Numbers refuses to open CSV files that have been generated in
Chrome, because it thinks they’ve been downloaded from the Internet.
Firefox works OK
* The export button won’t work within the tiddler info panel, or from
the *more* popup (this is because we don’t support nested popups)
An improvement to 6fb992690d
By making sure that all the popup state tiddlers have the prefix
$:/state/popup/ we can be more selective and just exclude popup state
tiddlers when we save. The end result is that once again other kinds of
state are persisted as expected (eg tabs, and sidebar visibility).
This might be a controversial change as it also means that it is no
longer possible to include `$:/state/…` tiddlers in a wiki to set up
the initial configuration.
The new importvariables widget imports macro/variable definitions from
the specified tiddlers and makes them available to its children.
Allows us to split PageMacros up into separate tiddlers.
We still support loading macros from $:/core/ui/PageMacros to help
people upgrading.
Fixes#644 and #559
These tiddlers were being handled as `<script>` tags to make it easier
to debug them. But in fact modern dev tools are quite happy to debug
code that has been eval’d, and this arrangement was causing problems
for importing.
Fixes#335
We’re introducing a mechanism that allows us to decide which tiddlers
get saved. Using `$:/core/save/all` gives all tiddlers, as before.
Using `$:/core/save/empty` gives an empty wiki. Saving an empty wiki
from tw5.com isn’t the same as the empty wiki cooked from
editions/empty because the two editions have different plugins and
other system tiddlers.
It dates from an ancient version of TW5, and is really redundant now.
It also meant that system tiddlers were not encrypted, which seems
confusing for end users.
This dates from an ancient version of TW5 which had a dependency on
jQuery. Now we’d install jQuery as an ordinary tiddler module, not a
library module.
