Weekly ESCR Talk

The Neos Project
6

ES CR Sync 26.11.

(Christian, Sebastian, Bernhard, Bastian)

Current Status / Done

  • Bastian updated us on the last week’s discussions
  • Node Migrations merged and lots of other changes as part there

Next Priorities

Next Steps

  • Readme Update (Sebastian)

Fix Setup

P1 - Test Refactor / Postgres support

  • maybe try to merge “without Postgres being finished”, as long as the old tests run through

=> Bernhard will work on that

P1 - Workspace module

  • Decide what to do with the workspace module (currently broken)
    • Can we “outsource” this topic partly to the community (i.e. start with wireframes for a module v2)
    • Dream: $someone builts a new “diff” module that we can fill via a clean API (DTO, …)
  • Nested Workspaces
  • Introduce concept of “Changeset” (e.g. allow editors to switch between, annotate and explicitly mark for review → “Workflow API”)
    • Allow working in content streams that are not assigned to workspaces
  • can we release a first MVP without workspace module? (How to publish nested workspaces?)
    • PRIO 1 Sebastian: Idea: patch current workspace module and remove option to publish/discard individual nodes

=> Sebastian will work on a v1

P2 - Import/Export (#65)

  • PRIO 2 - v1: initial version: use events 1:1

    • export format: line-delimited JSON, every line is an Event from the event store

  • Potential export formats (v2):

    • a) export events 1:1
    • b) export only selected streams
    • c) “compact event stream” (similar to current import from old CR) - via iterating over the projection (content graph) → Potentially use InMemory content graph at some point
    • d) (longer-term): “compact event stream” up to time X

=> Bastian will work on a v1

P3 - Rebasing fine tuning / conflicts (#144, #146)

  • Currently we rebase for every Neos login
    • idea: skip rebase if not required
    • in case of conflicts: display modal (v1: provide CLI tools to solve conflicts, v2: with options to resolve)
      • Allow showing content streams that are not assigned to workspaces (adjust NodeAddress.php)

=> Sebastian will work on a v1

Mid-term (but already started):

  • Content Stream Aggregate (#195) (Bastian)
  • Postgres support (#180) (Bernhard)

Mid-term (not yet started):

Versioning/Snapshots/…

Security

  • How to proceed with support for Node privileges?
    • release initial version without support for node privileges is OK
    • mid-term Idea: use command bus in order to extend command handling via middlewares

Versioning/Snapshots/…

Compacting of the stream

Overhaul Value Objects & DTOs

  • Readonly Properties (PHP 8.1+)?

The next “ESCR Talk” will take place on Monday, December 6th at 11.30am CET (!).
