shattercms's Issues

Don't use synchronize in production

The database connection in the gateway module should not be set to synchronize in production.

Authentication through gateway

Authentication is an important and integral part of any API and should therefore be managed through the gateway module. There should be a standard to handle authentication, while still leaving enough breathing space for custom behavior, etc.

Authentication must be possible to change / enforce without touching the sub modules. The gateway needs to provide the current user and a function to test permissions to every sub module through the context. These two functions can then be provided by other modules, taking care of storing, managing permissions and authenticating users.

There must be no directives in use, as those would need to be added into each submodule.

Add Auth Handler to users module

Allow type merging with prefixing enabled

Adding module specific type prefixes makes it impossible to merge types.

Refactor the shards module to make it easier to work with layouts, pages, etc.

Add layouts to the shards module

Layouts can provide a way to reuse a certain page structure in many places. Every page should have a layout property, defining the layout to be used. Layouts could include the Navigation and Footer elements for example.

Multiple modules not properly working when merging schemas

As proper schema merging is disabled right now anyway, it would be easy to switch to just building the schema with TypeGraphQL and fixing those issues.

Move @shattercms/types to dependencies

The generated declaration files depend on the types module, which can cause problems when only a single package is installed.

Add a posts module

This module should make it easy to create a simple blog. It should take of creating, modifying, deleting, etc.
It could also be expanded to provide a comments, likes, categories and more.

Fix the database connection defaults

Change the default database name to cms, not cm-

Move from extending BaseEntity to using repositories

TypeORM Docs

Add middleware to properly handle and display errors

TypeGraphQL Middleware - Error Interceptors

Order shards when returned

When requesting a page, the shards are not returned in order. To prevent the need to sort the shards on the client, they should get returned in the correct order from the server.

Add a users module to handle basic authentication needs

The module should take care of registering, logging in, handling sessions and authenticating users.

Provide a way to pass options to the modules

Use the context object in apollo server to include a config object which holds the config to each object as key.

{
  "gateway": {
    "dev": true
  },
  "shards": {
    "secret": "1234"
  }
}

Expose the server port

Expose connection url in gateway module

Expose database connection parameters to the user

Add the database connection options to the gateway constructor to give the user more control over the database name, username and password.

If possible the user should also be able to choose the type of database, although some problems could arise from that (Different databases require different decorators, etc).

Expose logging parameter in gateway module
