previously all the of the page routing was handlede through controller
organized by CRUD methods. it worked, but organizing by CRUD and not
purpose resulted in more time spent looking for a specific task through
controllers, so it turned out not to an effecient way of organizing.
so routing has been completely reorganized into laravel's web routing
section and methods have been moved to their appropriate controller so
tasks are much easier to find
front facing page routing turned out to be a bit more tricky that
anticipated do the overap of routing paths, but it only affects dynamic
page rendering and there's a patch in place that handles that issue
until a better solution is found. Rendered HTML pages works fine.
whew!
API Security has been reworked to check if request is secure, verifies
the API token created on site setup given to every member, and then
confirms the system is accepting API requests by way of the API enabled
toggle in settings
API usage is now only meant for backend use, so this needs to be noted
in the docs
regrouped api calls for better organization and to add a bit more
security. it now checks to make sure the incoming token matches the
current session to authorize requests
seperated dash controllers for api controllers in the controller
directory to make them easier to manage
also added middleware to check authorization when accessing dash pages
Removed the Slim Framework from the codebase and installed the latest
Laravel version to be the new foundation for the project moving forward.
Code from the old version will now be ported to the new version.
