# MakingHistory - Emissary
|
|
|
|
We are customising an instance of Emissary to run MakingHistory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## TODO
|
|
|
|
- Currently using a FILESYSTEM entry for emissary to access our MakingHistory
|
|
templates.
|
|
- Switch to using a hosted `git` repo instead
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Brief Architecture Overview
|
|
|
|
From the bottom up:
|
|
|
|
- Database
|
|
- Model Objects
|
|
- define info saved in database
|
|
- Services
|
|
- R/W objects to db
|
|
- Handle queries
|
|
- Handle inter-object actions
|
|
- Builders
|
|
- Assemble different bits of functionality from services
|
|
e.g.
|
|
access data from inbox
|
|
what's your username
|
|
is the user I'm looking at actually me
|
|
how many rules have I defined
|
|
how many people are following me
|
|
queries to get followers, following, folders we put people into, etc
|
|
i.e. info we want to collect comes from varying services;
|
|
builders assemble into pretty and limited API
|
|
- Defines the public API
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Template Overview
|
|
|
|
- templateRole
|
|
This role makes the template eligible to be displayed as a UI choice for user inbox
|
|
- model
|
|
The model sets which go builder to use with this template
|
|
- extends
|
|
Extends inherits from other templates
|
|
- containedBy
|
|
Limit this template such the it can only be used from within certain others
|
|
NOTE: I believe templateId's would be the content of the array
|
|
TODO: Confirm the above note
|
|
- schema
|
|
A schema sets up the data structure that will be used inside a template
|
|
Defines the 'data' section of relevant table entry in mongodb
|
|
Based on json, without linking between schemas; all rules must be defined herein
|
|
- states
|
|
Each piece of content can pass through a state machine; e.g. unpublished, published, for-review, etc
|
|
- roles
|
|
Works alongside states
|
|
[Currently being reworked in the codebase]
|
|
Assignable to various 'groups' [later, 'circles' as well]
|
|
- bundles
|
|
Define static assets; e.g. stylesheets, js, compressed or not
|
|
If not defined in a bundle, we may just define a 'resources' folder,
|
|
whereby all content within will be fetchable by the client
|
|
- actions
|
|
Every action has a name, which corresponds to a set of workflow 'steps' we
|
|
want to be taken when that action is called by users with a certain 'role'
|
|
- roles
|
|
- stateRoles
|
|
define which 'roles' can access the data when in a given 'state'
|
|
- steps
|
|
- do
|
|
- "view-html"
|
|
- by default will use the action name as the filename
|
|
- file
|
|
- define filename to be used for the step
|
