Always been a bit annoyed to have even the item name load in so weird and slow 😅 this fixes it to come in much faster!
This also allows us to SSR the item name in the page title, since we've put it in the GraphQL cache at SSR time!
Whew, setting up a cute GraphQL SSR system! I feel like it strikes a good balance of not having actually too many moving parts, though it's still a bit extensive for the problem we're solving 😅
Anyway, by doing SSR at _all_, we solve the problem where Next's "Automatic Static Optimization" was causing problems by setting the outfit state to the default at the start of the page load.
So I figured, why not try to SSR things _good_?
Now, when you navigate to the /outfits/new page, Next.js will go get the necessary GraphQL data to show the image before even putting the page into view. This makes the image show up all snappy-like! (when images.neopets.com is behaving :p)
We could do this with the stuff in the items panel too, but it's a tiny bit more annoying in the code right now, so I'm just gonna not worry about it and see how this performs in practice!
This change _doesn't_ include making the images actually show up before JS loads in, I assume because our JS code tries to validate that the images have loaded before fading them in on the page. Idk if we want to do something smarter there for the SSR case, to try to get them loading in faster!
Okay so there's a bug here where navigating directly to /outfits/new?species=X&color=Y will reset to a Blue Acara, because Next.js statically renders the Blue Acara on build, and then rehydrates a Blue Acara on load, and then updates the real page query in—and our state management for outfits doesn't *listen* to URL changes, it only *emits* them.
It'd be good to consider like… changing that? It's tricky because our state model is… not simple, when you consider that we have both local state and URL state and saved-outfit state in play. But it could be done! But there might be another option too. I'll take a look at this after moving the home page, which will give me the chance to see what the experience navigating in from there is like!
Hey we're getting real close! :3
I accepted a small bug here where clicking the breadcrumb to "Items X wants" won't scroll down if the page isn't loaded yet. (e.g. you landed on this list page first). If you came *from* the lists index page though, then when you go back your stuff will be there already, so you should be fine. (It might also happen if the page loads fast enough, which in prod it might do?)
Just gonna leave it for now, because the workaround would be a lot! (have the page re-check the anchor once it's done loading)
We're getting so close! :3
There was some shared components in `UserItemListPage` that needed updated too, even though the rest of the page isn't migrated yet.
Okay I actually screwed up the layouts thing a bit! Because right, they need to *share* a LayoutComponent in order to share the UI across the pages. This gets a bit tricky with wanting to change the margin, too. I'll address this with an upcoming refactor!
Thankfully this wasn't a crasher since it was already in a try/catch, but it was logging a failure that didn't need to be logged! If `localStorage` isn't available (e.g. SSR), just use the initial value.
The tricky part here was that `returnPartialData` seems to behave differently during SSR. On the page itself, this seems to cause us to always get back at least an empty object, but in SSR we can sometimes get null—which means that a LOT of code that expects the item object to exist while in loading state gets thrown off.
To keep this situation maximally clear, I added a bunch of null handling with `?.` to `ItemPageLayout`. An alternative would have been to check for null and put in an empty object if not, but this feels more resilient and more true to the situation.
The search bar here is a bit tricky, but is pretty straightforwardly adapted from how we did the layouts in App.js. Fingers crossed that it works as smoothly as expected when the search page is migrated too! (Right now typing in there is all messy because it hops over to the fallback route and does its whole separate thing.)
This one is a bit trickier, because it doesn't use a page layout, and we had to make some fixes in OutfitMovieLayer! Nice to get a head-start on that though :3
The first page moved over! Note that this broke navigation on the rest of the app, so don't deploy this until we're done!
The reason it broke was that we had to migrate GlobalHeader and GlobalFooter to the Next.js link & router stuff too, or else it crashed because it wasn't in a react-router-dom context.
Just sorta idly poking at what it would take to make our Next setup a bit more normal. To start, I'm putting things in more of the normal place, and eyeing what it would take to switch to Next's built-in routing! So now `App.js` is pretty much entirely a routing file, potentially to be deleted once we move 🤔
I didn't notice that there was another place where "auth0" was set as the default, oops!
This caused logins to fail, because the cookie would be set, but the request wouldn't be sent with the correct `DTIAuthMode` header. So you'd stay logged in with your auth0 credentials, even though the UI was using your db cookies. Or something? Idk weird state mismatch.
Point being, fixed now!
Still leaving the toggle so users can hop back out to Auth0 if it turns out we broke stuff on 'em, but yeah I haven't heard anything bad from the experiment at all, and I think we don't need to bother with the gradual rollout! Let's just go!
We previously had a lil trick to help Cypress perform an Auth0 login without using the whole Auth0 UI. (I forget exactly why!)
With Cypress deleted, we don't need this code anymore!
Specifically, we rename the dev database to `openneo_impress` for consistency with the main app, and create a second schema file for `openneo_id`, so we can do local account creation.
I decided that `setAuthToken` was the more appropriate server-level API, and that letting the login/logout mutations engage with the auth library made more sense to me!
Oh yeah, ok, we don't actually want to evict `currentUser` from the Apollo cache on *any* login mutation. That's both inefficient, and puts our navbar in a loading state that hides the login button and thereby unmounts the login modal, oops!
hey it's been a while! lol
I replaced the friendly long-time Feedback Xwee with a cute chef Kiko, to mix things up a bit and help people notice that the box changed!
I forgot that we sometimes use the Apollo server in a context where `req` and `res` aren't present! (namely in our `build-cached-data` script.)
In this change, we update the DTI-Auth-Mode HTTP header check to be cognizant that the request might be absent!
There was a bug in the new db auth method where `useRequireLogin` was expecting Auth0 logins to work, so it would get caught in an infinite redirect loop.
Rather than trying to figure out how to make `useRequireLogin` work with the new modal UI, I figured we can just delete it (since we only ended up using it once anyway), and add a little message if you happen to end up on the page while logged out. Easy peasy!
Hey hey, logging out works! The server side of this was easy, but I made a few refactors to support it well on the client, like `useLoginActions` becoming just `useLogout` lol, and updating how the nav menu chooses between buttons vs menu because I wanted `<LogoutButton />` to contain some state.
We also did good Apollo cache stuff to update the page after you log in or out! I think some fields that don't derive from `User`, like `Item.currentUserOwnsThis`, are gonna fail to update until you reload the page but like that's fine idk :p
There's a known bug where logging out on the Your Outfits page turns into an infinite loop situation, because it's trying to do Auth0 stuff but the login keeps failing to have any effect because we're in db mode! I'll fix that next.
Yeah cool the login button seems to. work now? And subsequent requests serve user data correctly based on that, and let you edit stuff.
I also tested the following attacks:
- Using the wrong password indeed fails! lol basic one
- Changing the userId or createdAt fields in the cookie causes the auth token to be rejected for an invalid signature.
Tbh that's all that comes to mind… like, you either attack us by tricking the login itself into giving you a token when it shouldn't, or you attack us by tricking the subsequent requests into accepting a token when it shouldn't. Seems like we're covered? 😳🤞
Still need to add logout, but yeah, this is… looking surprisingly feature-parity with our Auth0 integration already lmao. Maybe it'll be ready to launch sooner than expected?
Right, I had that idea while writing the comment, then forgot to actually do it lmao
This is important for session expiration: we don't want you to be able to hold onto an old cookie for an account that you should be locked out of. Updating the `createdAt` value requires a new signature, so the client can't forge when this token was created, so we can be confident in our ability to expire them.
Okay so one of the trickiest parts of login is done! 🤞 and now we need to make it actually show up in the UI. (and also pressure-test the security a bit, I've only really checked the happy path!)
Thinking about longevity, I think I wanna cut Auth0 loose, and just go back to using our own auth.
I had figured at the time that I didn't want to integrate with OpenNeo ID's whole mess, and I didn't want to write a whole new auth system, so Auth0 seemed to make things easier.
But now, it's just kinda a lot to be carrying along an external service as a dependency for login, especially when we've got all the stuff in the database right here. I wanna remove architecture pieces! Get it outta here!
And I'll finally build account creation from the 2020 site while I'm at it, which seemed like it was gonna be a bit of a pain with Auth0 and syncing anyway. (I think at the time I was a bit more optimistic about a full transfer from one system to another, but that's much further off than I realized, and this path will be much better for keeping things in sync.)
Just a cute little way to let us preview it without having to spin up a separate instance of the app or use a feature flag system!
This means we can safely merge and push this to production, without worrying about leaking the feature before the ~owls team signs off.
Hey nice it looks like it's working! :3 "Bright Speckled Parasol" is a nice test case, it has a long text string! And when the NC value is not included in the ~owls list, we indeed don't show the badge!
Hey finally! I got in the mood and did it, after… a year? idk lol
The button should only appear for outfits that are already saved, that are owned by you. And the server enforces it!
I also added a new util function to give actually useful error messages when the GraphQL server throws an error. Might be wise to use this in more places where we're currently just using `error.message`!
Uhhh I guess I never added the check that the outfit you're editing is your own? Embarrassing.
I don't have any reason to believe anyone abused this, but 😬! Good to have fixed now!
Been getting a lot of errors I *think* from folks trying to add OWLS Pricer to Impress 2020 even though it doesn't work here! Reasonable to have happen though! I thought Sentry knew to ignore those, but I guess it doesn't?
In this change, we add some filtering to ignore errors triggered by extensions. This should keep them out of our inbox!
I wasn't able to test this very robustly locally. I'm mostly just crossing fingers!
Tbh I didn't even really validate these changes, or that the codepaths right now aren't working, they just seem like clear drop-in upgrades now that HTTPS works and HTTP requests are redirected. Simplify!
