Sorry for the very big commit that may lead to git log issues and merge
conflicts, but it's a major step forward:
* Server can be faster at startup because imports() are async and we can
easily lazy import big modules
* Angular doesn't seem to support ES import (with .js extension), so we
had to correctly organize peertube into a monorepo:
* Use yarn workspace feature
* Use typescript reference projects for dependencies
* Shared projects have been moved into "packages", each one is now a
node module (with a dedicated package.json/tsconfig.json)
* server/tools have been moved into apps/ and is now a dedicated app
bundled and published on NPM so users don't have to build peertube
cli tools manually
* server/tests have been moved into packages/ so we don't compile
them every time we want to run the server
* Use isolatedModule option:
* Had to move from const enum to const
(https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/enums.html#objects-vs-enums)
* Had to explictely specify "type" imports when used in decorators
* Prefer tsx (that uses esbuild under the hood) instead of ts-node to
load typescript files (tests with mocha or scripts):
* To reduce test complexity as esbuild doesn't support decorator
metadata, we only test server files that do not import server
models
* We still build tests files into js files for a faster CI
* Remove unmaintained peertube CLI import script
* Removed some barrels to speed up execution (less imports)
Create dedicated Typescript "types" configuration file for each "projects".
Create a types folder which includes every useful ts definition:
- client
- server
- shared
Add tooling to create a proper package, extract dependencies, etc...
Add CI Github task.
refactor(types): publish types package in release script
this enables the `noImplicitAny` flag in the Typescript compiler
> When the noImplicitAny flag is true and the TypeScript compiler cannot infer the type, it still generates the JavaScript files, but it also reports an error. Many seasoned developers prefer this stricter setting because type checking catches more unintentional errors at compile time.
closes: #1131
replaces #1137
* Replace angular-cli patch with something less risky
* path.join() is needed, provide a naive implementation
* technically, webpack provided a polyfill for Buffer, we should too
* process polyfill matches webpack; peertube depends on nextTick
* polyfill for path to match webpack
* http/https polyfills as per webpack
